What did you eat today?


Quote  |  Reply

I know there are probably a million of these topics out there but I needed to start one for myself and anyone else who wants to post is welcome to.  Also, if you have any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm 5'6 - currently 136 lbs and my goal is 126 lbs.

Today:

B: Banana, granola bar (150)

S: V8 shot (40)

L: Big salad (mush, tomatoes, green, red, yellow peppers, romaine lettuce, and cucumber) Balsamic Vinegrette Dressing (~250)

D: Rice & Fish cakes (~500)

S: Popcorn (160)

Only around 1100 cals, I'll need to fit in another 200 cal snack in the afternoon.

Today im having eggs and toast for breakfast

lunch is leftover spaghetti and meatballs... mmmm

snack is carrots and hummus

dinner is ratatouille with homemade breadsticks (one bowl is 100 calories, i just entered the recipe in the analyser)

I woke up at 1:30 am so i kinda nibbled a bit too much on the garlic bread that was leftover from last night.... oops... but it only puts me over by less than 200 calories. (goal of 1600)

To add 200 calories more i would have more fruit and a piece of cheese (a nectarine is about 60 some calories, and an ounce of regular cheese is about 115).

Today seems to have turned into vegetarian day ... :-)

Breakfast.... A couple of slices of granary toast with cottage cheese and a glass of orange juice

Lunch.... An egg mayonnaise pitta with some baby leaf spinach.  A banana and a fruit yoghurt

Supper.... Cauliflower and potato curry with some toasted almonds and brown basmati rice. 

Late snack.... Home-made hummus with some carrot sticks.  A glass of red wine

Breakfast:      1 cup special K, 1 cup skim milk
Snack:      &nb sp;     1 gala apple
~*~*session with personal trainer ~*~*
Lunch:      &nb sp;     1 big ass salad! 
Snack:      &nb sp;     2 ryvita crisp bread & 1tbsp fat free cream cheese

I haven't  planned/don't know what I'm doing for dinner yet.  I'm working the late shift at work - so see what I can scrape together.

 

So far I have eaten a banana, a gala apple, an orange and a granola bar with almonds (yummy!) for breakfast and I am stuffed. Should carry me through to lunch, though I may eat a handful of almonds if I get hungry before.

I find I really have to stuff myself in the morning to keep myself focused...

Anyways, for lunch I was thinking either a tuna or veggie sandwich with unsweetened iced tea.

Dinner will be spaghetti squash sauted with garlic, salt and pepper, a heap of green beans and probably a couple of biscuits or some baby roasted potatoes!

Barely got through breakfast as of yet, but today's my bday so I'm going out for dinner and don't know what I'll eat (except for the fact it'll be indulgent and I'll be having a frou frou alcoholic drink of some kind) so I'm eating less until dinner.

Breakfast:

2 shots espresso w/ 1/3 cup 2% organic milk, 1 tsp. sugar and 1 packet Splenda

1.5 cups watermelon

1 orange

Snack 1:

2 sticks celery

1 carrot

1/2 apple

Lunch:

Salad made with romaine, 1/2 cucumber, 1 carrot, 1/3 cup soynuts and a dressing made with 1 tbls. balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp. lemon juice, salt, crushed red pepper, and 1/4 tbls. olive oil

Snack 2:

Same coffee as morning, except iced not hot

1/2 apple

Dinner:

Birthday food!  (Meaning, probably fried something or other)

Well...its early still but so far..

Breakfast: 1/2 cup of egg beaters with some edamame, tomato and onion

Snack: two slices of deli turkey meat and one green apple

Lunch and dinner are still to come, I just wanted to reply with a suggestion!  An easy way to add another 200 cal snack is nuts or a 2 tblspoons of peanut butter.  I love going to whole foods or somewhere and making my own trailmix...that way you can be sure you are getting dry roasted nuts without salt to avoid the extra sodium.  It will also add some extra protein and good fats to your diet!

Early here too but so far..

2 cups black coffee, each with one tsp brown sugar

1 cup Kashi go-lean cereal

1 cup So-Nice Original

3 chicken strips left over from dinner for snack.

Hey, I'm 5'6" too, and trying to get back to 126ish (I WAS 125.5 before the holiday weekend!!).

My food for today:

Breakfast:   4 oz. no salt added cottage cheese and blackberries (150)

Mid morning snack:  Kashi Trail Mix Bar (140)

Lunch:  Salad w/ lettuce, strawberries, chicken, green beans, cucumber (193)

Afternoon snacks:  Apple (90), Nectarine (100), Almonds (127)

Dinner:  Likely whole wheat spaghetti with chicken sausage and broccoli (~350)

Evening snacks:  String cheese (80), Fage w/ fruit (150)

I pretty must eat the SAME breakfast, lunch, and snacks every day.  The only variable is dinner.  I am SO boring!

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Love seeing what everyone else is eating :)  Hope to see you back here tomorrow.

Early still for me but I always plan out my day in advance

breakfast - egg whites and turkey bacon

second breakfast - protein pancakes (I can't wait, I'm dying to get these down my throat)

lunch - black bean soup with plenty of onion and some greek yogurt (my sour cream sub) and a salad. mmmmm

snack - polenta toasts (I have polenta that has to be eaten today) and snap pea pod

dinner - a Lean Cuisine and some extra veggies. My husband is taking the kids out for pizza so I am giving myself the night OFF from cooking. Woo hoo!!

Maybe not my absolute healthiest day but it all works out in calories and nutritional analysis so it's all good.

 

Breakfast-1 1/2 C of Special K Satisfaction, 1 TBSP ground flax meal, 1/2 C 1% milk- 285

Snack- 1 cup of kind of watered down hot choc- 110

Lunch - 1 1/2 C of homemade chicken soup(has brown rice, carrots & onions as well)-150

- slice of multigrain bread with 2 thin slices of turkey, tomato & lettuce- 75

- a few almonds- 100

- small slice of Choc Chip Cookie Dough Blizzard Cake- 350 (but, oh my goodness, it was worth it!!)

Snack- gala apple

Haven't had supper yet, although I really should. I'll either have another bowl of soup (comfort food for the cold I'm nursing), or some chicken and mixed vegetables.

 

This takes my total to 1040 for the day. I've been about as active as a rock today, so I'm going to aim a bit lower, for 1300. That leaves me with 260 for the rest of the day.

 

Breakfast: 1 cup fiber one with fat free calorie countdown milk

Snack: 100 Calorie Choc Mint SB Bar

Lunch: Lettuce, Peppers, tomato, cucumbers and octopus w/ ff balsamic dressing

Snack: Stacy's Naked Pita Chips, Greek Yogurt, prunes and an apple (spaced out through the afternoon)

Dinner: Homemade Zucchini casserole, veggie burger patty with tomato and onion.

Snack: SF Chocolate pudding with 1/2 cup Cocoa Krispies (one of my cereal weaknesses)

Breakfast: Woke up late - microwaved a half cup of oatmeal in almond milk. crumbled a south beach cinnamon raisin bar in it, along with one slice of diced green apple. Water.

Lunch: A few slices of turkey on whole wheat with one slice fat free cheese and a few leaves of lettuce. Little under two tablespoons Better'n Peanut Butter on whole wheat with paper thin slices of apple (bananas weren't ripe) and cinnamon. Baggie of carrot and celery sticks. Water.

Dinner: Bowl of steam fresh mixed vegetables with a cut up boca burger w/ slice of fat free cheese melted on top mixed in. Water.

Snack: Half cup of oatmeal with a splash of almond milk, 1/4  tsp. of vanilla extract and cinnamon. Mug of sugar-free hot cider.

Nighttime Snack: Fat free yogurt with three diced frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries, about 3/4 cup of cheerios and a few big shakes of cinnamon mixed in.  More water.

Such complicated meals, haha.
