Back On Track Together
What does your normal BOTT menu look like?
I think if I really plan out my meals like by the week... I could do this right. Does anyone actually have written down their satisfying daily menu for BOTT? I know all about myfitnesspal.com and everything, I just wish I had a good menu that was roughly 1,000-1,200 cal a day or less, but that was satisfying my needs and my hunger. Any suggestions out there?

My menu averages a little higher than you are looking at. I usually eat 1300-1500 calories a day. Most days are the following:
B-Low carb tortilla w/egg beaters, beans, cheese & salsa
S-I choose from cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, string cheese, dry roasted edamame, low carb yogurt, nuts, jerky or protein shakes.
L-Chili alot, salads, meat & cheese roll ups, fish
D-I usually cook for a family of five so I try to eat what they are having but if it doesn't fit my plan I will eat alot of the same things I eat for lunch.
I am finding if I plan out my meals and log it on here or Spark People I do much better since I have to be accountable.

I plan my meals 2 weeks at a time. I then make a shopping list of everything I need for my meals and snacks and just buy what I need. This helps me stay on track and it has actually knocked about $100 off of my food budget each month. So I eat healthier AND save money.
here is a sample day:
Calories Fat Carbs Protein
3 egg whites and chicken omelette 120 1.7 .7 23.6

The cottage cheese was 1/2 cup between breakfast and lunch and 1/2 cup between lunch and dinner. The protein shake was made with 8oz skim milk. Taco salad was with pinto beans not refried beans.
