Mid-morning Snack - banana, apple or fiber one bar (85 - 140 calories)

Lunch - Progresso Low Sodium soup, leftovers or Lean Cuisine (180  - 250 calories), fruit or 100 calorie snack pack

Afternoon snack - fruit or fiber one bar (85 - 140 calories)

Thursday - Oriental Mini Meatloaves w/ Honey Garlic Sauce (approx. 450 calories), Sesame Snow Peas (57 calories)

Friday - splurging on Sushi - around 650-800 calories.

that orange scented beef stir fry sounds great

Im trying to change things up but every recipe I see as all kinds of strange stuff that Im not familiar with..ha

mine is usually -

brekfast - bowl of Special K with skim milk

lunch - turkey sand w/ mustard only on 45 cal bread

dinner - usually somekind of chicken and veggies, chic salad or tuna salad and veggies

Always CHICKEN! lol

I usually dont eat snacks - no reason but dont and all I drink is water

Here's the recipe. 
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/orange_beef _stirfry.html

Boredom has been one way I got off track in the past, so I am working hard to build up a whole bunch of very yummy yet healthy recipes that I can have on hand.  So I've been going through Eatingwell.com's recipes and trying ones that sound good, and also checking a lot of ones from FoodNetwork.com on the recipe analyzer here at CC to find ones that are reasonable calorie counts.

You'd be surprised what you can find.  For instance, last night I made these Lasagna Rolls from Foodnetwork.com - about 500 calories per serving and uber-yummy and very filling.  Did NOT taste or feel like a diet meal at all!  Plus I have tons of leftovers for future meals.

9am Breakfast - Special K with Skim Milk

10am Snack - an apple or 100 calorie something

12 or 1pm Lunch - Healthy Choice meal or something with close to that calories (300 or less)

2 or 3pm Snack - Fruit or south beach bar or equivelant

6pm Dinner - Chicken usually with some side, whether its rice, veggies, etc.

MAYBE a small snack in the later evening, but I try not to.

I average 1200-1300 cals per day.

Thanks for the recipe - I get so bored and so does my family - lol  I dont wanna fall of track so I cook what I know is safe (chicken and veggies) So they will be tickled with something new on teh table.....lol
