LOL, Malkin! That's funny.
This is what I am eating today:
B: 1/4 c steel cut oats, 1/2 apple (diced), 1T chopped pecans, 1T brown sugar and coffee with skim milk
S: 1/2 protien bar
L: 1 tuna pouch, 2 c frozen broccoli, 1 whole wheat tortilla, grapes
S: 2 oz light cheddar, an orange
D: Chopped Chicken Thai salad from Panera (yum!)
S: 2 mini peppermint patties (maybe)
B: Shredded wheat with 2 percent milk and coffee.
L: A fried egg open faced sandwich on whole wheat and a small glass of orange juice.
S: Apple (Honey Crisp; yum).
D: I have lots of leftovers at the moment, so it'll likely be either Italian lentil soup or something I call bean bolognese. It's a pasta sauce with three types of beans, carrots, onion, celery in a tomato sauce served over whole wheat linguine. There's some leftover Italian beef too, but I'll likely just save that for DH's lunch tomorrow.
Yesterday:
B: Steel cut oats with a pinch of salt, plenty of cinnamon and maple syrup
L: The last of the tuna pasta salad
S: One or two strawberry Pocky sticks, black tea ("Thai chai"!) with milk and sugar
D: Breakfast! Three ~4" diameter buttermilk pancakes (with butter and maple syrup), three strips of bacon, and an apple. Washed down with a glass of 1% milk
S: Three squares of milk chocolate with almonds and toffee, cup of chamomile tea with sugar
Today:
Brunch: Four leftover pancakes with butter and maple syrup. Well, 3 2/3--DBF took the other third!
S: A coffee frappucino thing, with three teeny iced scones, after a mile-long walk in the snow. Followed by a green tea latte while I worked on my personal statement.:rolleyes:
D1: A Hebrew Nat'l hot dog. (That was the protein bit! We didn't have anything else defrosted!)
D2: Garlic pasta from a relatively local pasta company, with pesto and a salad. (With a sprinkling of feta cheese and Newman's Own Caesar dressing)
S: Probably a cup of chamomile and an oatmeal cookie. DBF just took the last bag out of the freezer.
Reading a lot of these daily meals, I notice an astonishing lack of veggies.
Eat your veggies folks! They're low in calories and full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber that we need every day.
Not that I'm perfect, by any means, but I try to eat at least a few servings of veggies a day.
Today for me:
B - cereal w/ fruit, protein powder, and almond milk; 2 c. coffee
S - organic yogurt (banilla)
Gym time - ran 3.25 miles on treadmill
L - kale & brown rice wrapped in ww tortilla, topped with salsa and cheese, herb tea
S - 1 apple + carrot/celery/apple homemade juice
D - turkey, bean, veggie, & tomato stew on quinoa, salad, 1 Miller Lite
S - Hot chocolate
B - Homemade blueberry streussel muffin with jasmine tea.
S - Vanilla soy yogurt.
Lunch + Dinner: Lentil-pecan pâté, apple, and red onion confit on rosemary croccantinis, a vegan French dip with caramelized onion and Portobello mushroom (as the meat) on an herbed baguette with roasted garlic mushroom au jus sauce, sweet potatoe fries, and a little bit of my husband's falafel wrap and quinoa salad.
Dessert: Three of the most amazing vegan truffles I have ever had - one chocolate with raspberry ganache, one chocolate with orange cream, and one chocolate with coconut milk caramel (My husband and I were celebrating Valentine's Day since we'll both be working).
S - Lots of organic "ritz" style crackers.
Yesterday:
Breakfast:
Oatmeal with flaxseeds, Almonds, cocoa powder, 1 Banana, Blueberries and milk
Snack: 2 dried plums, some Walnuts
Lunch: omelett from 2 eggs, filled with onion, spinach and bell pepper and a piece of bread
Dinner: Pumpkin-Garlic soup with Pumpkinseed oil and whole grain pasta
I'm afraid to put this up :rolleyes:
I'll do yesterday:
B: 2 eggs fried 1 tsp EVOO, 3 strips of turkey bacon, 1 piece of whole wheat toast with brummel and brown, coffee with sugar free hazelnut creamer
L: Costco dawg! Loads of kraut, sorry its the German in me, I can't help it. :) with a diet coke; I'm a sucker for a $1.50 lunch!
snack?: piece of lasagna, slice of pumpkin bread
after workout snack: cup of homemade yogurt with strawberry preserves in it
D: 2 small chicken breasts pan cooked with a little EVOO and a cup of cottage cheese
I must add I also did 90 minutes of spinning and I am doing a lot of strength training right now so I am intentionally adding more protein; I am aiming for a net of about 1500 calories on days I'm not working out and 1700 on days I do. That will go up when the weather gets better and I can do LONG rides. I'm training for a brevet but I'm also trying to lose weight at the same time, not a easy thing I'm discovering. :confused:
I'm working on it!Quote:

Kacie- can I get your oat bars recipe? They sound perfect for breakfast on the go! Thanks!
Sure! I make thing up most of the time :-) Thus, LOTS of variation!
2 ish cups of thick cut oats
6 egg whites
about 1/2 cup of almond milk, or whatever milk
Cinnamon
Sweetener (optional: My mom uses splenda or truvia, I use about 1 tsp of brown sugar and 1 tbsp of honey)
Optional stuff! I (or my mom who loves my random recipies) have tried all kind of variatons
Smash 2 bananas, and chop 1/2 cup of walnuts
Raisins or other dried fruit
PB2 (dried peanut butter) or some almond butter
Pumpkin!
My personal favorite....chocolate chips
Two options: 8x8 glass pan for 30 minutes at 350
or muffins for about 25-30 minutes
As you can see...I make things up. The point is that you are baking the oats in egg whites and milk with whatever flavor you want!!
I hope you enjoy! I would love to hear if you come up with another variation!
Thanks! That looks awesome!
No offense intended, but I had to laugh at that one :D Sounds a lot like the Emperor's new Clothes...Quote:
with no-fat olive oil spray
I know - but that is what the can says and they wouldn't actually lie would they ;)Quote:

Now I'm plotting how to bake at least a dozen at a time....
Here's why:Quote:

Ahah! I didn't know that last bit :o I had never really thought about it until Susan commented on my post - thanks!Quote:
