Your daily meal plans??

Hi!

Please can you tell all of us some of your successful daily meal plans?

 

Breakfast: Here are a couple of different choices

• Double fiber bread with Adam's Natural Stir PB
• whole wheat cereal or Steel cut oats, ff milk, splenda, with either raisins or bananas
• On the weekends I have eggs with turkey sausage or Morning Star sausage

Lunch:

• Healthy Choice Country Veg. soup, Progresso Beef and Barley soup, or Wendy's chili
• chef salad with my favorite ff dressing
• sandwich loaded with veg, lean meat, and dijon mustard

 Dinners:

• Turkey ham, steamed veggies, a potato with butter spray and ff sour cream
•  ground chicken or turkey Taco salads
• Fajita with whole wheat tortilla
• spaghetti with wheat pasta
• teriyaki chicken in a stir fry
• Bocca burgers with all the fixin's, 2% cheese, and ketchup/mustard

Snacks: ff or reduced fat string cheese, Pink Lady Apples, oranges, baby carrots, dill pickles, dry cereal, a fistful of raisins, etc.

Breakfast... 50g of high fibre cereal with milk....  a couple of slices of wholegrain toast with a piece of fruit .... a bowl of porridge with honey and seeds on top ... poached eggs with a slice of toast.... 

Lunch.... A wholemeal pitta with either some chicken, ham, egg mayo, hummus or beef inside plus some salad leaves.  Or a small pasta/rice salad with salad.  A little fruit on the side and a low-fat yoghurt

Suppers.... Vegetable Chilli with some brown rice.... Grilled Chicken and Vegetable Kebabs with Cous-cous.... A cajun grilled salmon steak with some sweet potato mash and vegetables.... Spaghetti Bolognese with green beans.... Home-made beanburgers with salad and cracked wheat.... Mushroom curry with saffron rice and almonds....  Stuffed peppers with quinoa

For main meals I am to have half my plate filled with vegetables or salad, one quarter with lean protein (animal or vegetable) and the last quarter with a wholegrain carbohydrate.  A little fruit, a little dairy, a little fat.... plus a glass of wine or a slice of cake if the occasion calls for it. 

I really don't feel like typing out my whole diet plan.

But I can tell you that I eat enough to feed my body, which you seem to find very difficult. From other posts you appear to eat far below 1000 calories a day.

Hi imccarthy,

I eat around 1200-1400 calories a day. That was a meal plan one of my aunt is following. She had successfully lost weight. So, just wanted to know whether that's good for me also to try.

This is about 1600 cals, although most days I have to eat closer to 2000:

Breakfast:

Oatmeal w/brown sugar & cinnamon, banana, cottage cheese, coffee w/sugar

Snack: String cheese and a piece of fruit

Lunch: Homemade veggie soup with beans and/or lentils (I make a big pot once a week and vary what I put into it), big salad with 2 tbsp of dressing, slice of Great Harvest Dakota Bread w/ a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese.

Snack: Yummy coffee drink- I'm addicted to soy chai lattes- or a hard-boiled egg and some fruit

Dinner: grilled chicken or fish and a plate-ful of steamed or stir-fry  veggies

Dessert: full-fat plain yogurt and berries

Then, if I still need calories, I have some almonds, or I have a big peanut butter sandwich as one of my snacks instead of fruit.

I feel full and satisfied with plenty of energy to work out, and best of all, I'm losing weight steadily!

Imccarthy-

What are you talking about?  I eat 1400-1700 calories a day (more on the weekend 1700, and 1400 during the week).  That is enough to fuel my body and I have lost all the weight I wanted except for the last five pounds.  I have done it at a healthy pace and I don't usually feel hungry or cravings.

Chattynoel i dont think she was responding to your post i think she was replying to skinnycherry :-)

Sorry, I thought that was in response to my meal plan.  I love my meal plan.  It took a lot of trial and error but finally have one that I enjoy and it's easy to work around my schedule.

5:30 am - 1/2 a think thin protien bar 

6 am ~ workout~

 noon - apple slices/ almonds 

3pm - baby carrots/ fat free ranch dip or hummus

5:30 pm - fat free plain yogurt/ kashi

8:30 - veggies/tempeh

 

It varies a little but this is a typical day I guess

Breakfast: a non-fat yogurt. 4 strawberries 1/2 a banana -blended with a 1/2 cup of kashi go-lean crunch green tea

Lunch: Lettuce 1 apple 1/2 a med. cucumber 52g of chicken s;iced chicken breast

im not sure what my dinner will look like

Hi, Im currently taking hi-protein shakes for breakfast and lunch and a colorful meal for dinner. I am loosing weight gradualy. I do have healthy snacks in between meals like roasted cashew nuts or fruits or low fat yogurt drink. Calories around 1500-1700 a day helps me to loose average 1-2 lbs a wk. Dinner consist of roasted chicken without skin or lean meat or fish. Plenty of veggies is a must. I start my meal by eating fruits first, then broth soups, veggies salads then to protein. At this time i avoid carbs until i get closer to my goal weight. I do have my favourites ice cream or choclate bites but i make sure to burn it off by exercising or do more physical activity.
