Great Idea for some menu ideas Glo!

Today for Atkins I had...

Breakfast
white egg omlette cooked in butter and a little pepper sprinkled on top (I didn't feel like anything in it). I had a side (maybe a 1/4 cup) tuna fish and a celery stick on the side.
I like Tuna for breakfast.

Lunch I had Mock Cheese Danish and A LOT of it! So yummy

Tonight I will have a salad with tomatoes and celery and probably more tuna on top!


For a snack I will have one of those carbolite bars if I need it.

My family is having an Italian chicken dish over spaghetti that smells delicious!

 

[nativetxn]

Sometimes I will eat pepperoni slices with about an ounce of shredded mozzarella melted on top for breakfast

Lunch I will have egg salad with mayo and green olives or guacomole, I love guacamole, with roast beef slices.

Dinner is often shrimp wrapped in bacon, or lobster tails with butter.

Love salads with chicken, shrimp or ham.

Love chef salads.

 

[TigH]

This is my favorite WW menu for a day!

Breakfast
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal
1/2 banana (mash it up in the oatmeal)
3/4 cup skim milk (goes into my sugar free coffees throughout the morning)

Lunch
6 baby carrots
1 pear cored and sliced
6 Pepperidge Farms sesame crackers
2 oz of Brie cheese on the crackers
(I love this lunch because I pretend I am in Europe somewhere eating at an outside table at a cute cafe!)

Dinner
6 oz. chicken breast w/ either salsa or teriyaki marinade
1 cup cooked broccoli
2 oz baked potato topped with two tbsp low fat sour cream
small salad of lettuce and carrots w/ two tbsp reduced fat ranch dressing

Snack
3/4 cup flavored soy milk (Silk brand chocolate or mocha)
1 cup cantalope.

WATER, WATER, WATER all day long!

[dizneegirl]

Hmmm... today I had:

Breakfast - ham & cheese omelet

Lunch - large salad with mushrooms, colored peppers, red onions, jalapenos, banana peppers, black olives, and sliced southwest chicken breast with a little Frank's Red Hot and Thousand Island dressing

Snacks - A few little Russell Stover sugar free coconut chocolate minis, some peanuts in the shell, and fresh strawberries

Dinner - I'm thinking jalapeno poppers with bacon, and either hamburgers or hot wings, with a small salad.

Dessert - Leftover home made vanilla ice cream with fresh whipped cream, chopped pecans and sugar-free chocolate syrup.



I LOVE Dr. Atkins.

[lmhall2000]

Breakfast- Slim-Fast
Snack- 3 big strawberries
Lunch- Small Salad (Romaine, Iceberg, sliced olives, raisins, carrots, onion, cheese and 1T dressing)
Leftover from dinner I did not eat last night- homemade mashed potatoes -actually only ate 3-4 bites and I LOVE mashed potatoes- they're just not as good the next day I guess, purple hull peas, and sauteed chicken pieces.
Snack- 1/2 apple
Dinner- Slim-Fast

I'm only slim-fasting for a month- and then hope to try the Atkins approach for a month to compare weight losses. Then it'll just be eating in moderation and upping the exercise.

It seems like I eat a lot compared to some of you!

I don't do WW or Atkins, just basic calorie/fat maintenance. Here is today's menu:

Breakfast:
1 NutriGrain Yogurt Bar
8 Oz. Light Yoplait Yogurt
1 C. Cantalope
(If I don't eat the NutriGrain bar & yogurt, I usually have 2 servings of instant oatmeal with 1/2 skim milk & 1/2 water with fruit)

Lunch:
Lean Cusine Hunan Beef & Broccoli
(I added a 1/2 C. of frozen broccoli/cauliflower mix to bulk it up. I always do this with my frozen dinners so they stick with me longer & I get more veggies/fiber in my diet.)
1 Mixed Green Salad with Chopped Tomato
1 1/2 T. Just 2 Good Salad Dressing

Mid-Afternoon Snack:
1 Orange

Dinner will be:
Salmon with Light Sour Cream/Green Onion/Lemon Sauce
Small Baked Potato with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray
Sauted Zucchini & Leeks (I saute in l/f balsamic vinegar dressing)

Evening Snack:
Probably 1/2 C. Low-Fat Ice Cream or some 1% cottage cheese & pineapple chunks.

Even with all that, I'm usually between 1500 - 1700 calories for the day, which is my goal if I want to lose 1-2 lbs. a week.

 

[blanq]

I am doing the Seattle Sutton eating plan (www.sshe.com) so all of my meals are prepared for me, and delivered (2x/week). I eat 1200 calories per day. Here is what I am eating today:

BREAKFAST:
Italian style frittata
Stawberry smoothie
Roll

LUNCH:
Savory tomato rice stew
Whole grain cheese croustades
Fat free/sugar free yogurt

DINNER:
Cornish game hen with orange glaze
Wild rice
Baby beets
Cranberry relish
Skim milk

 

[anniet]

ummm bicker...did you REALLY eat the banana peel?

 

[bicker]

Yipes! No wonder that calorie number looked so high!

Why the heck does Calorie King have it listed WITH SKIN? ???

Hmmm...strange. I just checked, and with skin = 124 calories while without skin = 125 calories.
