What's your menu? What are some examples of what you eat on a Daily base? I'm just getting started with this!

BottomStar

Breakfast: Special K Protein Plus cereal w/skim milk or egg and cheese sandwich w/ weight watchers wheat toast (2 slices for 14 carbs!)

Snacks: Cottage double w/pineapple, cheese or peanut butter with grapes or apples, or Jello SF Dark Chocolate pudding

Lunch: Salad or wrap w/organic applesauce

Dinner: anything but pasta or rice.  Some type of lean protein, 2 veggies, and a little carb (i like sweet potato fries or a small baked potato).  When eating out, mexican is a really good option.

Evening snack: 6 whole wheat Ritz with peanut butter and skim milk (this is the ideal snack to regulate my fasting number) or if I need a splurge, Edy's SF Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream.

There's tons of websites with  recipes and shopping lists.  Good luck!

I've been trying to switch up breakfast cause I get high #'s with cereal and I get tired of eggs but my fav so far has been todays breakfast:

Mission Whole Wheat Carb balance torilla filled with 2 scrambled eggs, 1 serving hormel little sizzlers sausage, grated string cheese along with 1/2 cup grapes - about 31g carbs

Snacks: cottage cheese w/pineapple or peaches, toast w/peanut butter, fiber 1 has great chewy snack bars, an apple w/peanut butter, a light/no fat yogurt w/light granola, hunt's sugar free snack pack puddings....hmmm.... there are so many ideas but that's what I've had so far (I've only been doing this a week! lol) - about 15-20g each

Lunch is hard for me cause i'm not always super hungry: Light chunk tuna w/ 1 tbls mayo on wheat bread and an apple, Low carb tortilla filled with veggies along with ham and cheese along with an apple, pear or banana - about 35g

Dinner: anything but pasta lol. So far I've been doing good with just portioning out better what DH usually cooks. If he's making potatoes and bread I'll pick one and leave the other or have 1/2 a portion of each... it's mostly about moderation  - usually I am right around 40g

Avoid fruit juice or even V8 at all costs - at least for me even 4oz puts me over!

Good luck!
