So today I think I did pretty good, although the scales will tell the tale tomorrow.

Breakfast: 1 cup All bran Cereal (110 calories) , 1 cup of 1% milk (108 calories) , Tea with 1 % milk and tiny bit of sugar. ( 50 calories)

Lunch: Low Fat oven roasted chicken breast (2 slices) (30 calories)on 2 pieces of Body Wise Multigrain Bread ( 90 calories), FF Yogurt (35 calories), 1 cup of watermelon (46 calories)

Dinner: 1 fillet of salmon (110 calories), 1 cup mixed veggies (118 calories), 3/4 cup of Minute Rice (150 calories) FF Yogurt (35 calories), 1 cup of watermelon (46 calories) sprinkled with Kashi Go Lean (20 calories)

Snacks: Celery (3 calories), Cucumber (4 calories), cherry tomatoes (7 calories), even had a piece of Angel Food Cake ( small piece) (129 calories).

Carbs are a little higher than usual, usually can get them to about 55%, all this for 1,089 calories. Have to fit about 200 more in before bed. Hmmm. Going to burn 200 calories on the treadmill and probably finish the day out with a smoothie. Hopefully the scales will love the day I had also.

Wow, your analysis looks like mine only you have less fat! Yer going crazy girl!

Could've put some margarine on your veggies or had a little Mayo on that sandwich. That would get that fat up. Make sure you use 2% milk in your smothie, that will help. Excellent effort! You rock!

I agree about the fat, don't always aim that low. But I do got to admit your analysis looks great, especially the sodium. I am so going to try to pattern that menu. Keep up the good work and the snack would be great if you did use 2 percent milk. Otherwise, you GO GIRL.

Take care. I am making spaghetti squash tonight with onions, zucchini, tomato, and green peppers with italian dressing and spaghetti sauce if needed. Wish this new menu success. Everyone hates trying new menus. So, I always have to have a backup. Does grilled cheese and tomato soup sound good?

God Bless.
