Share ideas, What did you eat today ?

[kcmagu 3]

mslittle - you're very sweet, I have always loved to cook - part of my initial eating problem but now its fun for me to create band friendly delicious bites.

tonight it will be back to work (24 hr+ night) so an extra meal day in addition tomorrow should be interesting b/c I will probably only get about 3-3.5 hr sleep (usually happens once a month or so ) I have 3 meetings during the day and work tomorrow night :confused: hard to work nights in a day world

) so I usually have an extra snack (something crunchy and with Protein to give me energy)

Plan for the Day:

B: chocolate cheesecake Protein shake

L: Couple cheese tortellini tossed in a creamy marinara and peas

S: probably all bran crackers w/ lite laughing cow cheese

D1: Roasted red pepper Soup w/ couple bites chicken sausage and grated parmessan

D2: Plain nonfat greek yogurt w/ berries and 1 ozprotein Cereal

S: not sure - something will come to me when I'm packing it up

b2: (haven't had yet) greek yogurt, 140 cal

l: will have lean cuisine, 250 cal

d: will have lean cuisine, 300 cal (ish depending on which i choose)

Total=740

i may through in a snack or two in there...depending on how i feel.

Gym: going to try to step it up this week. we'll see how my knees supports that :confused:

Update on my post - so I didn't have the tortellini for lunch - I normally wouldn't care about updating you all but I had to let you know what I did have - I made these spinach bars (I created a thread under the food & nutrition section with the recipe)

They were so good - I actually had 2 of the 20 serving size for my lunch (about 3" square total) probably could have easily had less but I am pretty open and they were very good - I included the nutrition data and it is not bad
