[Firmingrojo]

I started Scarsdale today so my menu is a little wierd but here goes,
B- sugar free apple sauce, protein toast, coffee no cream so I ditched it.
L- grilled chicken and spinach
Snack - carrots
D- grilled chicken and greenbeans but I am suppose to have grapefruit but I will pick it up later after class.

I lost 25 pounds with this in my teens and thought what the heck!!! I am in a stall and it might work (I have PCOS)

[JuliaL]

Laura - what's protein toast?

[tracelin]

OMG, I have that Scarsdale book from days gone by....I'm betting it's on my nightstand, too! Let me know how it goes!

Julia,
Protein bread is just a bread that is dense, low in sugar and high in fiber & protein. The denser the better.

My menu today:

B: coffee w/ creamer (oops)
L: Subway Chicken, Bacon & Ranch LC Wrap
Sn: Orange or/& Nourishe Smoothie
D:Chicken Breast & Green Beans

*This is just a rough estimate. I haven't entered it into Fitday yet.

Lord help me...b/c there's Mint Choc Ice Cream in the house!

[scobee]

Stay strong, Trace!!

Meal 1 - 6 oz. glass Chocolate Soy milk
Meal 2 - Protein Pancakes (2)
Meal 3 - Plum
Meal 4 - Hamburger Patty and SF Jello
Meal 5 - Orange
Meal 6 - Ground Turkey w/ Petitie Diced Tomatos and Asparagus

[Marbel]

Hi girls!

B: 1 slice cheddar, 4 slices bacon, coffee
L: salmon salad (salmon & mayo), diet pepsi
D: meatloaf, roasted brocc & caul
maybe some more coffee later

That's day 3 for me!

[JuliaL]

For the sake of total accountability I'm adding 1/2 cup green beans to my menu for today Totals according to fitday:

Cal - 1601
Carbs - 179 - 40%
Fat - 37 - 21%
Protein - 161 - 40% (I know that doesn't add up but that's what Fitday says)
Fiber - 33

[stephanie_932]

Mare..........How did I know I'd see broccoli and cauliflower on your menu today!

My daily points are 22 but I should be eating all my activity points that I earn and I get 35 points extra to spend for the week. They advise you to eat all of those, as well.......whether it's a cheat day or just evenly throughout the week. So far I've only used 5 weekly pts. out of the 35.

B: coffee; 2 tbsp. half & half; Fiber 1 breakfast bar = 3 pts.
L: wheat pasta salad with chicken, red peppers, lettuce, tomatoes and light ranch dressing = 6 pts.
S: tomato salad and 1 piece deli lean ham = 1.5 pts.
D: WW dinner of broccoli and cheese potatoes = 5 pts.

Total: 15.5 pts. and I earned 3 for my exercise......hmmmmmm.......way low on points for today. I still have 9.5 points to eat......

[scobee]

I have to be accountable too- I added an apple and a protein bar, as I was just starving and had the hiccups I was so hungry! That changed it to 1644 cal., 20f/44c/37p May have to go to bed early with a good book tonight!

[stephanie_932]

Just adding another meal...........snack #2 will be a breakfast cookie for 3 pts.

That will bring my total to 18.5 for the day.......very low, but I'm not going to eat just for the sake of doing so.

[chatnoir]

Okay, here's my menu for the week. Week 2 of BFFM for me, so I'm still learning.

M1: Peach Oatmeal
M2: Chocolate Yogurt w/Bananas
M3: Santa Fe Chicken Burrito
M4: Peanut Butter Protein Bar
M5: Salmon Pattie(s) with Applesauce (unsweetened)
M6: Cinnamon Roll Protein Shake (if I want it)

Cals: 1473 f 24%, p 47%, c 28% (provided I made conversions correctly)

I realized after I planned the menu that my only veggies are in my burrito. Oh, well--better planning next week.

[JuliaL]

Are we continuing to post in the same thread every day? A weekly thread? For now I think weekly is plenty. Anyway, here's my Tuesday menu:
M1 - 1/2 cup steel cut oats (measured cooked) with 1 tbs ground flaxseed, 1 blueberry protein pancake, coffee with skim
M2 - Blueberry protein bar, 1/2 large peach, coffee with skim
M3 - Salad with 3 oz. grilled chix, 1 tbs. dried cranberries and 2 tbs. Newman's Own Lite Raspberry Vinaigrette, other 1/2 of peach
M4 - Stuffed cabbage
M5 - Grilled chicken breast, broccoli salad, 1/2 cup green beans
M6 - Apple cinnamon protein bar
Cals - 1545
Carbs - 168
Fiber - 29
Fat - 33
Protein - 165

I think I forgot to add my peach yesterday, ooops.

Steph - how many points do you get in a day? How is that determined? Just curious.

It's based on height, weight, and age. I get 22 pts. a day. They say that 1 pt. is equal to about 50 cals. Then you get 35 extra points for the week that you can spend on a cheat day or spread them out through the week. I figured it out using the 35 pts. and it comes out to about 1350 cals. a day. You do get to earn points for exercising and they advise you to eat those points, as well. For every 100 cals. you burn you get to add 1 pt. ........so, I avg. about 3 pts. a day for exercise giving me about 1,500 cals. a day with everything included.

I hope that made sense.

I'll be posting my menu in the evenings, just because I don't know what my lunch is until I get to school (the salad group ). It's a surprise everyday!

[megananne]

Ok, since I'm not a preplanner, you guys are gonna be getting my meals the day after. I guess that doesn't do much for accountability, but it's still fun to share menus and ideas...so Monday I had:

M1 - leftover chicken, spinach, brown rice and lean beef from Sun dinner out
M2 - salad of romaine, deli turkey, FF cheddar, LF dijon salad dressing, Trace's pumpkin muffin
M3 - chicken and red pepper hummus with romaine on a LC, LF wrap
M4 - cottage cheese with strawberries and splenda, pecans
M5 - romaine, chicken, FF cheddar, salsa, pinto beans, grapes, a few jalpeno poppers made with FF cream cheese

totals: 1620 cals, 39P, 29C, 32F, Fiber 35

Not bad, although i have been getting the fat lower than that lately...the poppers do have bacon, which i know is a no-no, but i did account for it, and only plan to have occasionally.

[scobee]

M1: Oatmeal (1/2 c. raw), made with 1 sc. PP, and 1/2 c. soy slender chocolate milk

M2: 1 c. WW cereal, coffee, cream

M3: Ham, mushroom, broccoli quiche, apple

M4: 2 protein brownies, 1c. carrot stx

M5: 2 small pieces roast chicken, 1c. celery stix, lettuce & tomato salad

M6: SF chocolate pudding made with 1/2 cup cottage cheese

this works out to 1400 cal., 21%f/39%c/40%p

Whomever supplied the quiche recipe- it was really good!

[JuliaL]

Meg - your menu sounds so delicious! Do you make the red pepper hummus or buy it?

[megananne]

thanks, Julia - i bought it...from the Fresh Market Gotta love that store!! Ok, so where is this quiche recipe I keep reading about?? Sue???

[scobee]

Meg- i thought it was a vixie recipe, but could not find it over on yahoo, so here goes-

1 c. broccoli (or peas or spinach, etc.)
1 c. diced turkey ham (or seafood or chicken, etc.)
1/4 c. chopped mushrooms
1/4 c. diced onion (i omitted this)
1/2 c. shredded lf swiss cheese
1/2 c. lf shredded cheddar
1/2 c. Atkins or other lc bake mix
1/2 c. cottage cheese or soy milk
1 c. egg substitute
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
1/4 t. herbs or other seasoning mix
6 T. water
1 T. wheat germ

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Coat piepan with cooking spray
Sprinkle wheat germ on pan
Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheddar evenly over wheat germ
Mix remaining ingredients, pour into pan
Bake 35-40 min.
With my ingredients, this makes 8 servings @ 100cal.,
2g. f/4.5 gm. c/16.5 g. p
You can make many variations with different ingredients- next I think i will try a Mexican quiche with turkey sausage, red pepper, and Mexican blend shredded cheese.

[megananne]

Ok gang, just had meal 2 for today...chicken breast mixed with brown rice and leftover cooked (from fresh) spinach with garlic. It tasted so healthy and so yummy. I love eating this way!!!!!

So far, coffee, chicken salad, baked tilapia and a small portion of green beans.
Dinner will involve broccoli (got 6 more heads of brocc today (are they called heads?)) ... hey, maybe a stir-fry!

[scobee]

Well, I totally screwed up my eating already- skipped meals 3 & 4 because of my errands taking too long and I had to go talk to ds' teacher. Oh- doorbell

[stephanie_932]

Here are my meals for today! I earned 4 pts. for my CC workout burning 386 cals.

B: 1 cup coffee; 2 tbsp. half & half; breakfast cookie = 4 pts.
L: Chicken/pineapple/broccoli/spinach salad with poppyseed vinegarette = 4 pts.
S (before workout): 1 pc. bread with 1 oz. lean deli ham = 2 pts.
D: 2 pieces succulent steak; 1 cup roasted potatoes; 3/4 cup green beans; 3/4 cup tomato salad = 13.5 pts.

Total = 23.5 pts. (using 1.5 of my 4 activity points so I still have 2.5 pts. if I'd want to use them)

Okay, to finish up the day, I continued to snack. Add a slice of cheddar, and 1 - 1.5 cups of roasted brocc/caul (yum!!). Zero appetite. Hula pie coffee later for dessert.

That's day 4 of clean eating under my belt!
