What do you eat nearly every day?
So, what do you eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all of your snacks inbetween?
Reason: Released as sticky
oatmeal
whole wheat bread
cereal (shredded wheat, kashi, &fiber one)
strawberries
chicken
egg whites
Almond butter and/or almonds, oatmeal, milk, bananas, salads, cherry tomatoes, plain yogurt, whole grain pitas, carrots, apples....
there is only one thing i dont get tired of and that is kashi go lean cereal mixed w/ part raisin bran crunch! I love this its sweet and last a long time and yum yum yum!
2 b0wls 0f fruit and fibre / weetabix
My "Must Haves"... are:
Quaker Weight Control oatmeal.... the Maple & Brown sugar flavor.
Quaker (I really don't love the company, just these two things! lol)... 90 Calorie chocolate chunk granola bars.
Fiber One (the original kind) 1/2 cup a day! 14 grams of fiber baby!!
When I am going to be out and don't know if I'll have a healthy option for eating, I'll put a slimfast in my cooler bag with ice and bring it along to make sure I still eat every 3-4 hours and eat healthy!
For dessert, I have recently found Weight Watchers ice cream... the chocolate fudge brownie is TO DIE FOR and I have NO IDEA how they keep the calories/fat so low!!
Those are my trusty staples and stand by's for a consistant day or for a day when I need my favorite snacks! I have just found the book Hungry Girl at costco and it is the best $9 I have spent in a while! The recipes are fun, different and even close to some of the old favorite "bad" things! =)
peacelovehominy, sorry didn't see your post before. I'm assuming you're talking about beans being filling? It really depends on how you eat them. If I have them really flavored (with salsa) and a bit soupy and eat them with meat or rice, then it's really filling. I try not to eat them the exact way every day and I alternate between black and pintos. If I didn't do these things, then I'd feel like I was eating a diet food and not full.
I've taken a break from rice, though, because it was making me feel like I was eating diet food. And a little bit of rice has a lot of calories!
veggies..lettuces, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, bell peppers...
salsa and hot sauce and dijon mustard! i love them..i dump alot on my veggies as a low cal dressing.
almonds and cashews..ill eat a few everyday
sugar free jello with non fat redi whipped topping as my dessert!
Egg whites
Broccoli
Yogurt
Apples
Strawberries
Oatmeal
Those are my staples that I eat over and over again, pretty much every single day.
egg whites from eggology for breakfast. they have these on-the-go cups that you microwave for 95 seconds so there is no cooking spray or oil. i usually add a little low fat cheese or avocado to them. they are very tasty and i don't miss eating eggs at all.
veggie sandwich or simple burrito (no cheese) for lunch.
dinner varies - try to eat a small amount of carbs and more veggies and lean meat.
without fail i always eat an alpen summer fruits bar for breakfast, and for a midday snack. only 59cal + yummyyy!
Tomatoes and jogurt are two constants in my house.
good question its good to see what everyone eats and see if you can pick up any tips.
Breakfast: 2 wheatgerm toast + reduced sugar jam. cup of tea.
midmorning: snackajacks caramel
dinner:1large egg white with salt + daddy sauce (sick i know)
after dinner: weightwatcher yogurt/frube
tea: fish/chicken with vegies or salad. no potatoes but maybe rice/lowcalchips.
dessert: pineapple/trifle if bought
snack: salt and vinegar snackajacks (obviously a fave of mine) + salsa
supper: 1 pack of revels if naughty but usually instant highlights hot choc and 2 wheatgerm toast with reduced sugar jam.
Oatmeal
Some kind of fruits
Some kind of vegetables
Some form of protein (Boca burger, etc.)
And of corse, a lot more, but the rest pretty much varies depending opon what I want and what I need for the day.
(:
Beans, banans, beans, coffee, beans, onions, beans, coffee, beans, tuna, beans, garlic, beans, tomatoes, beans, beans and a side order of beans.
Breakfast: Special K Bar (90cal) and Dannon Light and Fit yogurt (blueberry is good)
Mid-morning snack: Handful of baked low fat wheat thins, few low fat triscuits or perhaps some pretzel minis
Lunch: almost always a salad with grilled chicken
Afternoon snack: same as above
Dinner: turkey breast, roasted potatoes, zucchini
Snack/Dessert: handul of M&M's
94% fat-free popcorn pretty much every night after I get home from work. It's a relatively "good" snack and fills me up so I can put off dinner for an hour or so and take the time to prepare a good meal instead of just throwing something in the microwave because I'm starving.
I also have a Luna bar maybe every other day at about 3:00 so I don't head for the vending machine (love the Chocolate Peppermint Stick and S'mores flavors!).
Lastly, Edy's Fruit Bars - 30 cals each! I'll have one to "finish off" the day. It's sweet but not overpowerfully so and at 30 cals, it's a decent dessert and a good one for the summer, too.
Oh, wait! I almost forgot! Green tea! I'll have it at the office and at home whenever I'm like, "Gee, I feel like eating..." but I know I'm not actually hungry. It's like a mind-over-stomach thing, haha. :)
Things I've had almost every day this week:
English muffins, coffee, blueberries, honeydew, cantalope, peanut bu tter, whole grain bread, sugar snow peas.. :)
Bfast - One Thomas Whole Grain English Muffin Lite, toasted, with .5 TBSP Brummel and Brown Spread, Kiwi Fruit Sliced with 1/2 cup Yoplait Lite Vanilla Yogurt - about 250 calories
Lunch - Series of "Snacks" every 3 hours or so, consisting of fruit, veggie, and sandwich:
-3/4 cup raw sugar snap peas mixed with 3/x cup raw baby carrots
-1/2 cup sliced strawberries mixed with 1/2 cup sliced pineapple
-Tofu sandwich sliced in half (eat one half at a time - spread it out during the day!) 2 Slices multigrain toast (110 cals a piece), 1 slice of reduced fat cheddar cheese, 1.5 TBSP Garlic Hummus, 2 slices of tomato, romaine lettuce, and 1/5 package Nasoya Lite Tofu - about 350 calories. I alternate this sandwich with a carved turkey sandwich with the same bread, lettuce tomato cheese and dijon mustard. At first I wasn't making these sandwiches with cheese, but once I started, I noticed I was feeling significantly more full - I think that little bit of fat helps a lot with hunger! And cutting the sandwich in half and enjoying it two seperate times instead of once is key for me! I notice I eat slower and savor it more when I cut the portions to snack sizes. I also alternate flavors of hummus to keep it interesting.
Dinner varies. Usually some kind of salad with lean protein and lite or no dressing, or another sandwich but on a 70 calorie whole wheat wrap, or two servings of a cereal with fruit and skim milk.
I'll enjoy a sugar free jello pudding snack a few times a week for a desert treat as well.
Breakfast--Honey bunches of oats cereal with skim milk
Lunch--Garlic Tortilla wrap with tuna fish, lettuce and tomatoes.
Supper--well actually until tonight I was eating 3 Monterrey beef and bean burritos with light sour cream every night with lettuce and light salad dressing. After reading the calories and fat content on this I gave that up and tonight I had tuna fish sandwich on wheat bread with a bowl of tomato soup. Not sure if I want tuna fish twice in the same day.
For a snack light butter popcorn. It totaled about 1250 calories maybe a few more for today.
-an avocado, in sushi or on a veggie sandwich or even by itself, in guacamole, i just love them.
-cheese and crackers - but i want to stop eating cheese.
-coffee w/ soymilk.
-i also eat a lot of pasta, which i am trying to cut down on, and too many carbs
