For those on diets, what does your meal plan look like?

[Amy]

I am looking for ideas on what to eat for lunches. I usually eat Lean Cuisine.

Here is my day:

Breakfast

Coffee w/ 1/4 cup skim milk and 1 TSBP coffemate
2/3 cup organic whole oatmeal, 1/2 banana, 3 frozen strawberries (cover with just enough water and nuke for 2:10 minutes) with 1 tsp brown sugar mixed in

Lunch

left over grilled Mahi Mahi
spinach with cranberry walnut light dressing

Snack

Activia light yogurt

Dinner

Grilled shrimp kabobs
1/2 cup organic basmati rice cooked in chicken broth
tons of lo-cal veggies on the kabobs

Desert
Skinny cow

I think this puts me at 1250 calories.

I never eat breakfast unless it's coffee. (I know, not good) I have a Lean Cuisine for lunch and for supper I usually just have a sandwich (BLT, Grilled Cheese, Chicken) and some soup or a salad. I'm not much for snacks but will usually pop myself some 100 calorie popcorn for a snack at about 8:30. Nothing exciting at all...

This isn't my diet, but pretty much my normal eating habits.

a QUARTER Cup of skim milk AND tablespoon or creamer????
do you truly like coffee?? LOL

when I am being good..
cheerios and berries or yougurt and berries

tuna and sliced avocado, with a salad
or a pbj made with whole grain bread, natural peanut butter, and just fruit jam.

dinner is a meat, veggie and salad

Breakfast: Special K bar or something similar

Lunch: Meat and salad

Supper: Lean Cusine or something similar or another meat (baked) and veggie.

Snacks: 100 calorie snacks or fruit


I basically try to stay away from any white carbs. I eat sweet potatoes or brown rice and I do that sparingly unless they come in the frozen meals.

I added skim milk, so I would lay off the calories of the creamer. We use big coffee mugs too. LOL After it is mixed to perfection, it tastes like hot raspberry chocolate milk.:drool:

This is what I have been eating for the past few months

Breakfast - 3 oz of espresso, 1 cup steamed 2% milk 3 tsp sugar, 1 banana, and a fiber one yogurt.

Mid morning - usually I have a cup of regular coffee at work, 2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp of non dairy creamer - work coffee is harsh ;)

Lunch - usually a small apple, sandwich or chili or salad and lots of water or straight Ice Tea

Dinner - veggies, 3-5 oz piece of chicken or fish and a cup of rice, more water.


Snacks - fiber one bars, fruit...

I have been bad lately with high sugar/cal snacks, but typically I eat like this.

When I arrive at work I eat an Activia yogurt, with a tea. Sometime @ 10:30/11:00 I'll eat instant whole grain oatmeal with a tsp. of brown sugar and have a large coffee with milk and 1 sugar. Around 12:15 I'll snack on whole grain crackers and cheese (I keep these at work). Anytime between 1:00-1:45 I'll eat a tuna or pb sandwich or Lean Cuisine. Sometime throughout the day I'll eat either an apple or banana. Dinner is pretty much always some kind of meat/veggie, but could also be pasta or soup. I don't snack after dinner, but lately I have been allowing myself a spoonful of ice cream (right now I'm eating Hagandaz(sp?) vanilla caramel latte).

Lots of people like Lean Cuisine. Whats your favorite? I like Lemongrass Chicken. :drool: It is part of their spa cuisine.
