Looking for suggestions. Mine would be the "All American":

1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, 8 oz. of milk and ice
Boca Burger on Ezekial bun with lettuce, tomato, & soy mayo
Fries made out of a sweet potato, rolled in thai seasoning and crushed oat bran cereal, then baked. Yummy!!!

Can't wait to hear other ideas!
 
I guess it would be my standard lunch which is the same 4 days per week, and sometimes 5:

Salad w/ spinach, veggie salad mix, grape tomatoes, 8 oz. of white meat turkey, fat free dressing, and whole wheat pita bread. This gets me through the whole afternoon better then anything. I eat half at noon and the rest about 3:00. The only variation would be the type of dressing. Funny, when I switched to using spinach, I stayed full longer.
 
Honeybunch, you are truly frightening me! My main lunch, no less than 3 days/week is almost identical to yours! :) Veggie salad mix (I've been experimenting lately with different bagged mixtures, field greens/carrot medly, etc.), grape tomatoes (they're so convenient!), either turkey breast or chicken breast meat, fat free shredded cheddar and fat free dressing. Either whole wheat pita or whole wheat flat bread. I too vary the dressings, I'm hooked on the Kraft line of fat free dressings.

Lately I've been also experimenting with adding beans or a Tbl of olives, and I'll toss in whatever leftovers I may have before they go bad occasionally, but my standard is the above. And I never get tired of it! :)

And Jilly, that's my very favorite, but I have other favorites like my breakfast omelet w/ 3/4c egg beaters, onions, green peppers, turkey sausage (cut up), shredded fat free cheddar cheese. Full of protein from the cheese, sausage and egg beaters, but low in fat.

For breakfast, low-fat cottage cheese with a tablespoon of flax seed, a tablespoon of blackberry preserves, and a handful of blueberries.

Mmmmm.

High Protein Pancakes
(mix the following in a blender)
8 egg whites
1 cup old fashion oats
1 tsp low fat bisquick
vanilla to taste
Splenda to taste
Heat an omlette pan with non stick spray. Pour in and flip when dry on edges. (I like them crepe-like, so I keep them thin.) I also add cinnamin sometimes.) Good with low sugar marmelade or syrup. Makes a bunch-enough for 3 or 4 people.

Baked Omelet
8 egg whites
1 cup evaporated skim milk (or I mix nonfat dry into skim until I get a thicker consistancy)
1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
pepper
parsley

Preheat oven to 350. Coat 9 inch cake pan with spray. Place ingredients in blender. Mix till smooth and pour in pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Serve. 2 to 3 servings.

Mussel soup
1 onion, chopped
celery, chopped
garlic, pressed
green or red pepper, chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
1 pound diced tomatoes (optional)
bay leaf
cracked black pepper
crushed red pepper
parsley
4 pounds mussels (or 2 pounds mussels and some other either firm fish or shrimp)
fresh basil, garlic, olive oil
Saute onion, celery, garlic and peppers in a Dutch oven sprayed with cooking spray. Add wine, broth, tomatoes if using, bay, black and red pepper, parsley. Bring to a boil, turn down heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Nestle fish first (if using) and then mussels in soup, cover with a lid and shake pot periodically for 8 minutes. Discard any unopenend mussels. Puree the basil (at least a cup), garlic and a tablespoon of oil. Stir into soup before serving. If I'm really living good, I have some toasted, home-made (by me) 100% whole wheat bread to dunk in the broth.

I have others...I could go on and on.

Right now it is my breakfast shakes. They usually include:

1 cup skim milk
1/2c.-1c. light fat free yogurt..whatever flavor
3 tbsp. cottage cheese
shot of blueberries
shot of strawberries
1/2 banana
couple chunks of peach
couple chunks cantaloupe
shot of raspberries
few grapes
shake of fiber one cereal
shake of oat bran
couple tbs. flax seeds

Ok, not exatcly low calorie, but very nutritionally dense. Really very filling and I don't even miss the real food. Have not gained any weight eating these either, so it is all good!! I will have to try the sweet potatoe fries, though....sounds so weird, I just gotta try it!!!
 
I am the oatmeal queen! I cannot start my day without it!

I use 1/2 c. oats, 1 c. skim milk and microwave for about 2 minutes. After it is cooked, I add 1 t. Splenda, 2T dried chopped fruit (like apricots) or fresh fruit (like blueberries.) Sometimes I add protein powder, peanut butter, flax seeds...whatever sounds good and depending upon how long I need it to last me!

I truly miss it when I try to have something else for breakfast!
 
I told you before, I think I am your long lost older sibling. Are you a scorpio?
 
Salmon tacos w/ shredded cabbage & tropical fruit salsa (papaya/mangoes/etc) on corn tortillas
Roasted sweet potatoes or
Sauteed greens (kale/collard greens/chard)
 
vegetable and red bean lasagne with cinnamon and plenty of cheese in the sauce!!

well, cleanish....

(anyone want the receipe?)
 
Y'all are gonna think I'm crazy, but I like to slice up a couple of turkey franks (organic variety) and a big zuchinni and sautee both in olive oil with a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. I call this my favorite "lo-carb" meal...

Hello, Jillybean!

I would love to know how you prepare the sweet potoato fries! What temp. in oven how long?
Do you dip them in egg or anything before rolling them into seasoning and cereal?
Also, do you have other seasoning that work well???

Thanks for the inspiration!
