Tasty, pretty light, and relatively quick.

I've been trying to eat more veggies AND more protein. That means I'm always eating. Luckily, I don't have trouble with that! I can always eat...:rolleyes:
Having just celebrated Purim, a co-worker is keeping me well fed with hamentaschen.
I don't know if I should hug her....or punch her! :rolleyes:;)
Mmmmmmm
I had to google that. YUM! Definitely hug her (and send me some ;))!Quote:

I tried making Hamentaschen once.
Oy, the filling tasted good, but the pastry looked like, well, not the 3 cornered hat it is supposed to be. Good thing my kids were very little and they didn't know any better.

Anyone care to revive this thread? I was just reading around and found it. I've spent entirely too much time sitting here reading it. It's very interesting!
I don't eat breakfast. Unless we are on vacation or something.
Every morning, for my breakfast, I have a Mango Tango (Odwalla drink)
A few hours later, I usually eat something light...cucumbers dipped in salsa, carrots, an apple or sometimes hummus on one tortilla (folded in half)
Then I eat a normal dinner. No telling what they may ever be. I usually snack at night. It could be some chips and salsa or something sweet (if I made dessert)
Currently, I am on a raw diet with mostly liquid as my main "food". I am doing this for detoxing purposes only and will go back to regular food within a month. I find it very interesting that I am hungrier and want more filling foods in the cold weather. Eating all raw/juicing, I feel very, very cold (deep inside myself). Summer months I have done this, I was fine.
I know once I start riding full-time again, I will be hungrier too. I didn't mind as much what I ate when I knew I was exercising, but I found that I gained weight quick with bike-riding, which was interesting to me. I need to be careful about the food choices I make during that time.
Anyway, thanks for listening and if anyone cares to add more to this, that would be fun. What did you eat today? :)

Most animals hibernate during this time and put on extra weight. I think most people eat less during the summer. I, myself, find it hard to eat much hearty food during the summer when it's hot. I prefer cold and light things - love smoothies, fruit, cold sandwiches, etc. I've never had much of a problem with weight but I've listened to a lot of people talk about their losing weight tips and it seems like your diet may be opposite of what's recommended for weight loss. Most people recommend eating breakfast to jump start your metabolism for the day, and eat the bigger meals earlier in the day and have a small dinner. And to stop eating by 8pm at night. Just something to think about if you're interested in trying that.
So far today I've only eaten cream of wheat made with soy milk and brown sugar. I'm about to make some blueberry streussel muffins. I typically eat lunch late, like 3 in the afternoon. That's usually my biggest meal of the day, and then I usually have a light dinner or snack. I'm pretty bad most of the time about eating three square meals, I usually have a good breakfast and lunch and then by dinner I'm feeling lazy:) My husband usually cooks dinner so that's good, but on the days he's working I don't eat a good dinner.
Oh, I'm not trying to lose weight. Not at all. I've never had a weight problem really. I have a fast metabolism and lose weight after having a baby easily on my own within a year or two. I am eating this way now, like I mentioned, to detox. I just had a major surgery in Dec. and had some pretty hard-core narcotics in my system, which in turn gave me massive headaches. I am trying to clear some of that out of my system. :)
I can't imagine not eating breakfast. This morning I got up at 6 and didn't eat until 8 AM, as I was busy canceling clients, watching the weather, before settling for a snow day. I was not feeling too good by the time I ate. I don't eat huge breakfasts (think Denny's), but I do eat good ones. And I don't complain when DH gets up and makes waffles on a weekday. The key for me is lots of protein at breakfast, which is totally opposite of what I used to do. Egg white omlettes, tuna, cheese, turkey bacon, Greek yogurt and fruit, regular eggs, with an occasional whole wheat bagel or waffle.
Today:
B: egg whites, cheese, navel orange, V-8, 2 cups of coffee
S: little pack of Trader Joe's trail mix with cranberries and almonds
L: salad with romaine lettuce, chicken breast, tomato, red pepper, chick peas, goat cheese,w/champagne vinegar and olive oil, cup of low sodium tomato soup, slice of thin slice whole wheat bread with hummus
S: 2 slices of low salt ham
Currently drinking a glass of red wine (hey, it keeps my HDL high and my LDL low) and thinking about dinner which is going to be a Mexican chicken and low fat cheese soup
I have to have breakfast, and snacks! Vital for my diabetes management and also weight control.
Breakfast today was a cup of steel-cut oats with blueberries and a tablespoon of peanut butter with a little milk.
S was an apple with a .5 cup of non-fat cottage cheese
Lunch (main meal today since I am iced in at home) was a skinless chicken breast stirfry with lots of yummy veggies and a bit of brown rice.
S was a cup of low-fat strawberry Kefir
Dinner will probably be a cup of black-bean soup and a salad. Considering a beer as well...
Oh okay... I misunderstood your post:)Quote:

D: The plan is to distribute the one leftover serving of spinach and tomato pasta with sausage between the two of us. I've got some past-their-prime Brussels sprouts I'm going to saute with garlic, and a chicken breast that I'm going to cut in half and season for the main protein part of the meal.
B: 1 Van's Blueberry/Buckwheat gluten-free waffle (I'm not GF, I just like how they taste) with a thin layer of natural PB, sliced banana with a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
L: 1 whole wheat mini-bagel w/almond butter, Greek yogurt with homemade granola on top, and a bowl of Kashi Berry Crisp cereal w/skim milk.
S: Nut Thins (a rice cracker) with roasted red pepper hummus, and a handful of red grapes
D: 1/2 a turkey sandwich on Ezekial bread, and maybe some soup
I think it's important to remember that every body is different and what is good for one person may not be for another. If I could eat a breakfast and feel good, I would. But if I eat before ten, ever, my stomach cramps and I feel awful. This is what works best for me. I prefer liquids only in the morning and it works well for my body. I drink healthy things, like the odwalla drinks or OJ with emergen-c. I do not consume caffeine or eat badly.
I eat a light lunch and then eat my heavier meal at the end of the day because this is how my body functions/works best. I feel best when I eat this way.
I was snowed in today. I ate EVERYTHING in sight!!!!:D
Another vin rouge here; Cheers!
I wish this forum had a "like" button :DQuote:
