M1 - blueberries with egg white and protein powder

OR turkey meat loaf with roasted vegs OR brown rice (or corn)

fried with onions and eggs

M3 any of the above OR chicken breast in a salad with shredded

carrots and sunflower seeds (A FAVORITE WAY TO EAT CHICKEN BREAST)

M4 any of the above

M5 THIS IS WHERE I COOK ENOUGH PROTEIN FOR LEFTOVERS FOR THE NEXT DAY

steak and vegs and rice OR buffalo burger OR turkey burger OR lamb

chops OR fish OR teriyaki chicken OR turkey meat loaf

M1: whole wheat waffle w/cott cheese or egg beaters & oatmeal, COFFEE

M2: (post workout) cott cheese mixed w/yogurt & some

fruit/nuts/oatmeal for texture

M3: Salad w/protein (pork tenderloin, chicken, tuna, etc.) or leftover

dinner from night before

m4: Whey shake blended w/flax oil and fruit

M5: Something from EFL (Chicken Parmasan, Spaghetti w/ground turkey

breast sauce, etc.)

M6: Similar to M2, or EFL cheescake, which is yummy, or Jello SF/FF

pudding blended w/cottage cheese (I eat a huge tub of cottage cheese

like in a week).

If I get hungry in the afternoon, I usually have some hot tea. It

fills me up. I love trying new recipes--I am of the " variety is the

spice of life " philosophy.

That sounds good to me, and I actually mix my cottage cheese and yogurt

together! It's yummy!

Here's my day-

1- oatmeal pancake w/ oats, egg beaters, protein powder, baking powder,

cinnamon, vanilla and stevia

2-cottage cheese/apple

3-low carb whole wheat tortilla/chicken/ big salad

4-protein shake w/ frozen berries

5-varies-sometimes chicken salad w/ whole wheat bread, sometimes a wrap w/ egg

beaters and salad, sometimes chicken, sweet potato and broccoli

6-another shake or another pancake

Everyone's meals sound interesting and it shows how we can adapt

things to our liking. I never add any artificial sweeteners to my

food. I love the taste of plain oatmeal and I made one of the

muffins for my daughter and she said it tasted like " ass " without

any sweetener. Everyone has different taste buds I guess...LOL

M1 - my version of the magic muffin or protein shake with 1/2 banana

and strawberries or golden pancakes from the eating for life book or

cottage cheese and yogurt mix

M2 - mozzarella string cheese and apple or huge salad with chicken

M3 - chicken or turkey breast meat or tuna in a ww wrap - or turkey

on ww bread - or fresh fruit with chicken

M4 - beef or chicken or fish (depends on my mood) with baked potato

or yam and vegetable. My fav veg is steamed green beans but the

family really gets tired of them....LOL Asparagus - YUM and huge

salad.

M5 - can be cottage cheese and granny smith apple (first choice) or

cottage cheese/jello mix or cottage cheese/ pudding mix.

I rarely ever get in a 6th meal and that suits me just fine.

I alway wait the hour after my aerobic w/o to eat and I started

having my protein shake before my weights as that seemed to give me

a better w/o.

My typical day:

M1 - Chocolate Oatmeal or Vanilla Nut Cereal

M2 - Cottage cheese and yogurt - together

M3 -Turkey Sandwich with lots of lettuce piled on it! I can get away without

using any mayo if I pile the lettuce... that gives me enough " juice " to eat my

san!

M4 - Eggs and oranges OR Shake

M5 - usually salad and chicken of some sort (Chicken Pomodo or Rotisserie

Chicken (which is sooooo easy to make!)

M6 - usually skip, but trying to get better... usually it's cheese and apple, or

something.... unless I'm feeling ambitious - then it's a home-made shake ;-)

What I really eat:

Protien Shake w/Flax seed oil & L-glutamine, banana

Southbeach bar

Baked chicken tenders, green beans, apple

Cottage cheese, kashi-go-lean bar

Baked fish, brocolli grapes

cottage cheese, apple

It pretty much looks like that most days. Some days I get busier and

one of the cottage cheese meals turns into a bar, and I look for

different fruits (though I end up eating many apples and bananas out

of convenience.) I cook chicken, some kind of fish, lean pork, and

some kind of poultry sausage and cycle those through. Not so big on

variety, but it works with my busy schedule.

I did that once and put it into tupperware to bring to work, and i think

something about it sitting together for a few hours made it taste funny

because when I licked to spoon after mixing it it was yummy, but a few hours

later it wasn't... I'll have to give it another shot!

When you grill all the chicken, how do you keep it from getting super dry

all week? I'm going to go grocery shopping today and stock up and I think

I'm going to get some chick breast but I don't want to have it be dry by

Wednesday and end up not eating it...

A chicken tender is part of the chicken breast. They¹re the perfect size for

a lot of things.

[Guest guest]

They are the little part of the a chicken breast. If you have a

whole chicken breast in front of you there is a large muscle and

under it a smaller muscle, shaped kind of like ... well...lol...the

only thing I can think of that is that shape is a garden slug...but

that sure doesn't make you want to eat them...lol.

I like them better than breasts because they are smaller, so easier

to portion, and I think they stay more moise.

i think it's ok if you just put it in a closed container. Tupperware

or something like that. that should keep it from drying out.

M3 - 1/2 C " regular " cottage cheese, 1/4 C 1% cottage cheese, 1/2 C

kashi go lean crunch, 3 large strawberries sliced, mix together &

sprinkle with splenda (thanks for the recipe )

M4 - 1/2 C Turkey Chili (no beans), 1/2 medium potato baked (100

grams)

M5 - 5oz grilled fish or lean meat, Salad with low fat dressing,

steamed veg

M6 - 7 lowfat triscuits, 1T crunchy peanut butter

I'm 45 years old, 5'5 " , 147 pounds, 26% BF (according to Tanita).

My goal is to be below 20% BF - I don't care what I weigh.

That's about 1357 calories not counting the UDO's and, to me, that's

a LOT of food! The real truth is I hardly ever get that 6th meal

in. I am not hungry for it at all! This brings the total calories

down to 1142 - which I think is too low for me (even with the UDO's

bringing it up to 1265). But...it's working so far... we'll see.

Yogurt is considered a carb not a protein. I use 1/2 cup of non-fat ricotta

which has approximately 12 grams of protein and 90 calories, obviously no

fat, and put an equal amount of berries, because I have small hands and

small fists, so 1/2 cup is good.
