ichefmastersgirl 4 Posted January 5, 2009 Okay here is my food for the day. Cream of Wheat and Applesauce Turkey salad Halibut w/ potatoe, broccoli Tapioca pudding 40 oz crystal light 72 oz Water All meals were very small portions and I took anywhere from 30mintues to 1 hour to eat. I am very lucky that I own a restaurant and I have educated all my cooks about band food how to cook it and Portion Control. So I dont cook much but I still have to be so careful about testing things, sampling just a few down falls of being a restaurant owner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goosefraba 0 Posted January 5, 2009 what is kalamata tapenate? Tapenade is a spread made of olives, pretty much mushed up olives and oil, it used mostly for crackers or toasted breads. For the sake of adding calories i add to some meats to vary the taste of things..and its all good fats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
china 1 Posted January 5, 2009 looking good there. i wish i had someone to cook for me. well what if you just take a corner of a testing. or maybe get a baby spoon and taste it.

redmom 0 Posted January 5, 2009 (edited) Hey Goosefrabra, you sound like me, trying to get some flavor. I want to put pesto on anything to give it some taste. Unfortunately, I have practically no restriction and can eat more than 1/2 a cup at a meal. Today I had greek yougurt for the first time and loved it! And tons of Protein to boot and it tastes way better than the nasty kashi high Protein and Fiber oatmeal I had been eating for Breakfast. So here's my list: Breakfast: 1/2 c. greek yogurt w/ 1/2 c. frozen berries and tbsp honey Lunch: 2 slices homemade pizza (made the dough, made the sauce, small amount of cheese the only topping) Snack: biscotti Dinner: 1/2 baked chicken breast w/ roasted carrots, parsnips and potatos Snack: 2 more Biscotti:thumbdown: (They sound good, very low in fat, until I dipped them into chocolate) Tomorrow is back to work, where its much easier to avoid temptation! Okay, I forgot the midafternoon guacamole break. Tasty too. About 10 small chips dunked in. Edited January 5, 2009 by redmom Damn! I forgot the guacamole!

redmom 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Hey China, no problems with the biscotti. Really, the only problem I've had so far was with a grilled chicken salad. I think I gulped it down without chewing the chicken enough. Today was much better; Breakfast 1/2 c. greek yogurt, 1/3 c. frozen berries, 1tbsp. honey lunch green salad with two slices of deli roast beef, gorgonzola cheese and 2tbsp. of italian dressing dinner 1/2 chicken breast (breaded and sauted in olive oil :tongue2:) with a mixed green salad tossed with lemon vinagrette on top. snack 3x biscotti.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
