    So, just like the title says... what did YOU eat today?

    I'll start :)

    Breakfast: Yoplait lowfat yogurt

    Snack: Dried mango slices

    Lunch: Spinach and salad mix with blueberries & lite italian dressing

     

    Then later I'll probably have some apple and peanut butter...

    For dinner I'm making penne arrabiata.

    Lunch: Leftover steak, cubed and stir fried w/ green beans, soy sauce, garlic chili sauce & honey

    Dinner: Elk burger with roasted squash & carrots/celery dipped in guacamole (totally doesn't "go" together, but the avocados are going to go bad if I don't use them tonight!)

    Dessert: glass of Shiraz :)

    Good call on the dried mango slices, I need to baggie some up and bring them to work! 

    Breakfast: small piece of chinese rice cake, cup of chocolate almond milk

    Breakfast 2: kashi granola bar

    Lunch: one slice of ham, 4 pieces orange sesame chicken, small cup beef chili (yeah lunch buffet!)

    Snack: mini Baby Ruth bar that I shouldn't be eating!!!

    Not sure about dinner, going out for an office dinner so I'll probably be splurging on something expensive and unhealthy...

    Breakfast: greek yogurt

    Morning snack: apple w/ peanut butter

    Lunch: small salad, string cheese, Subway turkey on wheat

    Afternoon snack: 2 clementines + almonds

    Dinner: probably something light, depends on how hard my workout is

     

    I'm experimenting with not calorie counting this month. It's been tough so far, I'm so paranoid about how much I've eaten... but I think overall it'll be good. I like the idea of just listening to my body while paying attention to serving sizes.

    Breakfast: yogurt

    Morning snack: Special K fruit crisps

    Lunch: Microwaved up some Pacific something Hearty Minestrone soup with some chunks of a Babybel cheese in it. A couple of starbursts from a coworkers desk

    Currently: drinking a Cherry Coke Zero. Will be having a sandwich from a Jewish deli for dinner as I'm working late tonight and it's being ordered in. Trying to keep my food light during the day to account for that!

    I feel like I eat pretty boring stuff.

    Breakfast: Instant oatmeal

    Lunch: Carrot sticks, hummus and an orange and more instant oatmeal.

    I have leftover Beef Bourguinon and a salad, but does anyone have one of those days where you are just randomly a picky, picky eater? I made both of them, I know they are both good, but they DO NOT sound appetizing right now.

    Too bad I'm working late and will have to eat at least one of them. Or the last packet of instant oat meal stashed in my desk.

    *rant over* :)

    Its about 3 In the afternoon and I got out of bed around noon....oooops!

    so far I had:

    -a bowl of spring mix lettuce with some cesar dressing.

    Currently planning an early dinner! Thinking about going out to get a quart of soup, preferably a bisque from a local joint. We are having big tropical rain showers today, so I'm feeling snuggly :)

    @bestbuddies:  I put heavy cream in my coffee, the fat content generally tides me over until lunch. I also eat a lot of fat/protein in general, so I'm not hungry nearly as often as when I ate a more carb centric diet :)

    Snack 2: Apple, maybe some chocolate too...still debating. :P

    Dinner: ?? I'm thinking DH will want to make wings.

    @bestbuddies:  I think they do it by training and a slow metabolism...the longer you wait to eat, the slower your metabolism gets, the less drive to eat

    @jillmatt:  I know, right? lol

    I have added a lot more carbs back into my diet now that I am in weight maintenance. Squash, sweet potatoes, and honey are back on the menu, but I just try not to go overboard.

    My fiance eats the same way I do. People always tease him that it's cruel & unusual that I don't "let him" eat bread (he doesn't want to, FTR). He is so sweet, he always responds "Ummm my fiance packed me steak with horseradish cream sauce and a side of roasted broccoli with garlic- what is there to complain about?" Love him!

    @Minutiae:  I definitely never trained myself to skip breakfast, I've just never felt hungry in the morning, and I don't like to eat when I'm not hungry.  I eat when I'm hungry and stop when I'm full.

    @Eva Peron:  Yes, we tend to be paleo/primal/WAP, but we're not militant about it. I love the way we eat, and my fiance and I have both lost a lot of weight and have more energy. Now, when we "cheat", we just feel like garbage.

    @bestbuddies:  I've never regularly eaten breakfast, not even as a kid.  I'm just not hungry in the morning.  I've tried to get into the habit because it's good to get your metabolism going, but I always have to remind/force myself, so it's just not worth it to me.
