This is my 70% of the time healthy eating:

Breakfast:

Large mug of hot tea with half-n-half and artificial sweetner

8oz SF/FF yoghurt

1 cup lowfat cottage cheese

(spread out between 6am and noon)

Lunch:

One of the following:

pork chop/chicken breast/hamburger patty/healthy choice dinner (I don't eat the pasta/potatoes)

Sometimes salad with bleu cheese or steamed veggies in addition to the meat

Snack:

Not usually hungry until dinner time - my snack usually will come before noon: 2 oz of string cheese

Dinner

Same as lunch

Snack:

an obscene amount of SF/FF Dreyer's ice cream (maybe 2-4 times a month, when I'm in the mood)

I try to average about 1700 calories at this weight. As my weight goes down I will adjust my calories down to meet my basal metabolism requirements.

For the 30% not so nutritious choices, I may substitute a donut for my usual Breakfast, add chocolate/chips as Snacks or with my meals. I find this usually happens every other month in synch with my menstral cycle - I seem ravenous every other month, and have more cravings. I just go with the flow.

Hope this helps!
