meal plan templates for different calorie ranges--WHAT DID YOU EAT TODAY??
OKAY, so there is a thread that posts foods eaten for the day, but for those of us who run low on ideas or want to see what a particular range of calories can look like for the day i thought it would be GREAT to have a thread where we list our foods eaten with the calorie range. so, if you're with me listaway!!
I think it would be helpful to list the TOTAL CALORIES for each person's day...that way individuals can get a sense of what a days worth of calories looks like for that calorie goal. if this is a bad idea then that's fine but it's just a suggestion

Sorry, didn't realize that was required. I'd been going by the instructions in the initial post, which just said to focus on total calories. But here you go:
B: Breakfast wrap (low-carb tortilla (110), egg beaters (60), veggie sausage (80), lf cheese (30) and salsa - (280)
S: Protein bar (120)
L: Chicken soup (156) and broccoli slaw salad (25) with grape tomatoes (7), roast chicken (68) and ff ranch dressing (25) - (125)
D: Pork tenderloin medallions with apples and sage cream pan sauce (434), sauteed spinach (80), creamed cauliflower (90)
S: Breyer's krunch bar (no sugar added) (150)
Total: 1485 (includes an extra 50 calories, because I stir Fibersure into my morning coffee, and soup at lunch. 25 calories each, but 5 grams of fiber per serving)
