What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

I hope you don't get as addicted as I am. But, I recently read something that said to the effect that it helps people, particularly women, to eat a little bit of full fat cheese every day, as it makes you feel full.
Now, if I could just stop thinking about the bread I am not eating.... haven't entirely cut it out, but cut down a lot.

A good amount of protein also has that affect, a high protein diet leads to less snacking because it sticks around. I hear you on the bread, it is hard for me to go without it and I suspect that my weight plateau is directly related to that. I won't give up my oats and brown rice, but I should probably really cut back on the bread.

Today:

B: 2 egg whites/1 whole egg omelet with 1/2 small chicken breast, minced onion, a bit of shredded light Irish cheddar, sprouted wheat bread, skim milk, coffee

L: Turkey BLT with sprouted bread, no-fat cottage cheese, skim milk

1 hour bike ride, then played on the mountain bike for a short time...
S: apple with a bit of PB

D: broiled garlic Tilapia, steamed broccoli, small amount of Machengo cheese (pretty good!), 1 beer.

S: a couple of chocolate covered peanuts with a couple of almonds and raisins.

My New Year's resolution is to be more consistent with packing my lunch for work... I've been really good so far and the scale is showing it too! It's good for my waistline and my bank account
