What do you eat?

 I am always stumped at what to eat so I thought I would start a post and get some new ideas. Post your meals for an entire day or  post some of your favorite meals  including your menu schedule( ex.  Do you eat six meals a day three meals a day .when is your last meal of the day etc.) I am so lookng forward to all the wonderful new food ideas.....Thanks wls graduates....Let the menu's begin....GO!!



AND THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR INPUT

p.s....It's okay to include your favority protein shakes too!

I try to start the day with Nectar brand Protein drinks (ie: Chocolate Truffle Protein mixed with Cocoa Wheat hot cereal - YUM and filling), snacks are Atkins brand protein bars, dinner consists of small amounts of meats and veggies from the regular family dinner. Actually I love to cook still, I just can not eat as much, so by the time I have finished cooking and taste testing my creations - I AM TOO STUFFED TO EAT MUCH. My family doesn't seem to notice, since I have always served them before myself anyway.

 wow thats is so helpful...I will have to check your board....great meal ideas!!

One of my all time favorites is still spaghetti and meatballs.  My family loves it and I make the sauce from scratch and add extra vegies diced tomatos, onion, shreaded carrots and peppers chopped fine. I make turkey meatballs but you can also buy them.  The family eats the pasta I just skip it and go for the 2 or 3 1 ounce meaballs I make. Very filling and you can make in smaller batches and freeze if not cooking for a large group. By making your own sauce you can reduce a lot of fat and sugar. By making your own meatballs and using egg beaters to hold them together you avoid extra carbs.

The cottage cheese and applesauce sounds yum!!

Don't know if I will be much help as I feel like I eat a lot of food. Here is yesterdays bites:

B-1/2 C. Greek yogurt w/homemade chocolate granola, 1/4 C. Egg Beaters, 1oz. Ham
S-Click
L-Turkey burger (no bun), quinoa & black bean salad
S-Oh Yeah bar
L-Turkey burger on P28, broccoli w/greek yogurt dip

I average around 1500 calories a day, 120 grams of protein.

 thats fine....I am just looking for ideas and how those who have reached goal maintain...so thanks for your input...every little bit helps!

For breakfast I like to have a serving of Greek Yogurt with some Jelly or Honey.

Lunch is cottage cheese, apple sauce, and Granola.

Dinner varies:  tonite I plan on having Red Beans & Rice (It's Fat Tuesday today, after all) which is itself a leftover from Sunday.  Last nite I had leftover Calzone.

Weekends we like to go out ot eat (and generate leftovers) and weekend meals vary a little more
Breakfasts: French Toast, Pancakes, Eggs/Toast/Bacon, Porridge
Lunch:  Salad or Soup & Half Sandwich.  Last weekend I was at Panera and had the Salad & Soup pick two.
Dinner:  Eating out or whatever I want to cook for fun.
