NBR: Need help meal planning for diet... Ideas Please

Okay so Monday I am starting the weight watchers diet. I have my dinners down but am having a really hard time planning Breakfast, Lunch, & Snack. I don't want to eat the same things everyday because well that would suck and I would start hating the diet.

Can you gals give me any ideas?

    For breakfast I like eggs with veggies in them.  Usually one egg and one white with broccoli or whatever in it.  When I was working I would prep the veggies ahead of time then just make my breakfast in the morning.

    I also like fruit, greek yogurt and granola, I mix them all together.  In the winter I would buy frozen mixed berries and just portion them out in containers so when I got to work I would dump in my yogurt and some granola.

    I found lots of things for breakfast/lunch on WW, dinner was always my hardest one (since I had to feed DH too and of course he loves meat/potatoes meals!)

    There are lots of frozen meals that are good options for lunches, low points and not too bad. I'd usually eat one of those and add some fruit and maybe some kind of low point snack. I always snacked more on WW so I'd never really be hungry and overeat at meals. So I'd eat a midmorning snack and an afternoon snack. Fruit, popcorn, veggies and hummus, stuff like that. I could also do a turkey sandwich or wrap for pretty low points by using the lowest point bread I could find, weighing my turkey in advance, and using the laughing cow cheese wedges spread on them. 

    For breakfast, I did have to give up oatmeal bc the points were insane (at least on the old plan!). I did fruit and yogurt, or egg whites or egg beaters, scrambling or making an omelette with veggies, or putting them on a low point english muffin. Lowfat cottage cheese is a pretty good bang for your buck pointwise too if I remember correctly.

     I really need to get back on it! I've been trying to do myfitness pal, but I swear I go over every day and it's very discouraging. Just counting calories makes me feel like all food works against me, and I never felt that way on WW.

    I usually have coffee and yogurt in the morning. For lunch I either have a salad with grilled chicken, a wrap with turkey and reduced fat cheese, progresso soup, special k chips, etc.

    Snacks I have almonds, light cheese stick, fruit, jello, yogurt, gummies, quaker rice cakes, etc.

    Dinner is usually whatever I would normally fix with a smaller portion and substituting lower fat products. We eat a lot of chicken and pork chops. Steak isn't even that bad.

     Try to fill up on veggies first at dinner before eating your meat so that you eat less.

     

    If anyone is on myfitnesspal, add me casirdms.

    I am doing it all on my own (no meetings or online). I have all the material I need and I have followed the plan before. But I am trying to meal plan ahead of time so I leave less room for error. 

    If you start back, let me know. It would be good for me to have an accountability buddy.

    OP I usually do oatmeal for breakfast with a few packets of Truvia in it with cranberries and cinnamon. Sometimes I have a couple egg whites with two slices of turkey bacon ( you can even put this on a pita wrap).

    I try to make up food at the beginning of the week, a small turkey,low fat chicken salad, skinny broccoli salad (this is awesome). Pita pizza is good for lunch.

    For snacks I usually have a fiber one brownie or special K chips.

    Last summer after DS was born, I joined WW.  Somehow I found the website:

    skinnytaste.com

    Crap.  I can't make it clicky.  I only did WW for 2 months and have lost 40lbs and kept it off.  I contribute it mostly toward skinny taste.  Her recipes are AMAZING - I don't' feel like I am missing out on anything.  (Unlike when I did the south beach).

    GL!
