Carbs allowed per meal/snack:

Breakfast - 30g    Snack 1 - 15g   Lunch - 45g   Snack 2 - 30g  Dinner - 60g  Snack 3 - 30g

Special dietary requirements, if any:

Am allowed unlimited proteins & fats as I still need to put on weight according to my doctor. Am also taking 2.5mg glyburide at night to help conrol AM fasting sugar. I've found I really can't process "white" foods very well (ie, rice, white bread, etc) but I seem to do fine with potatoes.

And, I cannot stand milk, so I get dairy/calcium through a lot of cheese and yogurt.

Breakfast: Varies between a whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter, an apple-cinnamon Kashi oatmeal packet, or bacon/egg/cheese on a whole wheat tortilla.

Lunch: Typically leftovers from last night's dinner, portioned for lunch. Otherwise, I like to buy those pre-made rotisserie chickens and make sandwiches (with whole wheat deli flat breads) and salads, with a piece of fruit.

Dinner:

Sunday -  Whole wheat spaghetti with meatballs, homemade marinara, and caesar salad minus the croutons.

Monday - Leftovers

Tuesday - Spinach & feta quiche, salad

Wednesday - Pork tenderloin stuffed with apples and cheddar, mashed sweet potatoes, and corn on the cob.

Thursday - Leftovers

Friday - Chicken caesar sandwiches on whole wheat pitas, homemade oven fries.

Saturday - Grilled steak, quinoa pilaf, and a veggie to be determined.

Snacks:  Apples with peanut butter, whole wheat crackers with homemade hummus (I hate store bought), nachos (blue corn chips with melted cheese and salsa), greek yogurt with fruit, Special K "Protein Plus" cereal.

Carbs allowed per meal/snack: 2 at BF, 2 at snack, 3 at lunch, 2 at snack, 4 at dinner (only eat 3 though), 1 at bedtime snack.

Special dietary requirements, if any: None

Here's a sampling of different meals I might have in a week - just depends on what's in the house at the time and our schedule...

Breakfast: Usually a scrambled egg or two fried egg whites with a piece of whole grain toast plus 4 oz. milk. Occasional french toast (2 pieces) with cinnamon and butter plus sausage/bacon.

Lunch: Salad, soup, leftover meat with veggies and cheese, pretty much whatever I can piece together. Subway is an eat out choice for me - buy a footlong sub but eat only half the bread - the extra veggies and meat help fill me up.

Dinner: 1 cup pasta with 1/2 cup sauce and veggies, stir fry, grilled chicken with veggies and 1/2 potato, cheeseburger w/mushrooms and onions on bun with salad, two hard shell tacos with beef and beans plus lettuce, tomato, sour cream and cheese, pork ribs with 2/3 cup macaroni and cheese plus veggie. 

Snacks: Ice cream with peanut butter, fiber bars, cheese and crackers, carrot sticks and grapes with cheese, almonds and dark chocolate (83% cocoa).
