3-27 Monitor Monday

[Billie]

We decided to give this a try since we had a lot of luck without on the old Protein Power Board. Here's your chance to tell us what you are having to eat this Monday and getting some feedback on Tuesday. It's great way to see what and how people eat--menu ideas all over the place!

So jump in with your Monday's menu's!

Here is kind of how the day will shake out, will edit later:

Breakfast meeting: Omelet with green peppers, ham, cheese, coffee,

Lunch: Left over beef roast with mushrooms, zucchini, squash and a little portion of rice--a slice of carmel apple found me

Dinner: I hear we are having Ground Turkey croquettes with red peppers, mozarella cheese. We had fresh avocado creamed with some lemon and salt.

Water:

Exercise:

Boy do I need this after the week I had last week! :)

b: coffee/splenda/halfnhalf; Atkins bar (by the way, they have REALLY improved these...no more sugar alcohols!)

L: ham on lc tortilla

D: ??

S: 4 squares of Lindt dark (70% cocoa) chocolate...I am hooked on these...good thing that I am almost sick after this many...I would eat the whole bag (the squares are individually wrapped, about 2 ECC per square); another Atkins bar (hey, at least it's not a Snickers!)

Morning.. I'm back at home while the kids are in school for the day.
I had scrambled eggs with onion salt,garlic powder,cheese, and bacon bits. Coffee Made by Ryan this morning( kids I'm watching for a week while freinds vacation)
Lunch.. Chicken breast, salad
Dinner.. the kids are having what ever they want, ( I am not changing their eating habits this week, I just want them to not miss mom)I am eating turkey and brocolli ( I made a 22 Lb turkey at my freinds home yesterday so I could have non carb stuff. The meat the kids eat are used to are breaded fish sticks,chicken nuggets and hot dogs. Their diet is atrocious.
Protien shake after work out sometime today.
My routine is really messed up this week
I have time after feeding all the animals and taking Danielle to school each day to work out before I go to work, so that's when it will happen.

Thanks Randy for telling me about this thread.

B-egg drop soup, steamed chicken, broccoli & brown rice, flaxseed muffin
S-protein shake
L-grilled chicken, spinach, tomatos, cukes & O&V
S-greek yogurt w/protein powder & kiwi
D-eggs & chicken sausage
Hot Chocolate

I have switched up my eating in the last week. I am eating my biggest meal for breakfast and smallest for dinner. It is working out good for me.

B: Protein shake. I've been thinking that I'm not getting enough protein for breakfast and the shake is too high in carbs with 1/2 c frozen berries. My whey powder is 5 carbs for 24 gr protein. Today I substituted cottage cheese for fruit. I wonder how it would be if I whipped a raw egg into it. Anybody tried that?

L: Salad w/5 oz chicken, bacon, cheese, sun seeds, 0-carb dressing

S: Nuts or a Chocoperfect bar

D: Roast beef & broccoli

S: Yogurt, berries, ground walnuts

i'm quite fond of using eggbeaters (a pasturized egg product) in my morning shakes. it adds more protein without being slimey or "eggy" tasting. and since its pasturized, you dont have to worry about getting sick :)

[Gwanny]

Okay, I'm gonna give this a try.

Breakfast: 3 eggs over medium
3 pieces bacon
Tea

Lunch: Cabbage cooked in beef broth with Chopped Sirloin added in.
Tea

Snack: Peanutbutter protein balls

Dinner: Probably the same as lunch

[Billie]

Hey everyone looking good! Keep them coming! I have tons of new ideas already! Tomorrow we will post a little feedback on the menu's and invite everyone to jump in and give your opinons.

Good point! I was thinking about that.

[Janis]

Gadzooks, Lynn, their diet IS atrocious!! Even my "picky eaters" eat better than that!

Billie, you have no idea how I have been looking forward to this thread; I thought maybe it had been retired.

Breakfast:
The usual 3 cups of coffee w/ Splenda and half and half
1 cup cottage cheese with a few orange and grapefruit sections

Snack:
String Cheese

Lunch:
Leftover low-carb pad thai (made with steamed angle hair cabbage instead of rice noodles) - lots of chicken in this one, and the sauce is made w/ low carb ketchup, fish sauce and liquid Splenda

Dinner:
Leftover low-carb Texas-style Chili; I posted the recipe on the old board, I'll try and find time to post it here! One of Gaelen's nut muffins, made with tahini instead of peanut butter, shredded cheddar, minced jalapeno and a touch of liquid Splenda - good sub for cornbread.

Snack:
Sugar free fudgesicle - I'm lucky there's any left, after the kids found them!

Not enough water, but I'm trying! The water here tastes awful, and there was no bottled water in the vending machine.

Well, it's only the middle of my day, but I thought I would go ahead and start posting my menu now.

Breakfast: 4 eggs (I know...a lot), 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, smoked turkey, 2 crackers, 1/4 cup peanuts. I know that's a weird combo, but it was good! LOL

Snack: 1 tbsp peanut butter

Lunch: 7 oz grilled Cajun chicken breast, 1 cup broccoli flowerets, 1 slice American cheese, 2 tbsp mayo, 2 tsp mustard (for sauce)

Snack: pepperoni--10 slices

Snack -- 10 grapes, 1 tbsp peanut butter

Snack -- 1 HB egg

Normally, I wouldn't have peanut butter and peanuts in the same day, but later this evening I got really tired and wasn't feeling well. So, I didn't wanna eat again.

Water: 3 liters...I couldn't get another liter down, so I'll hit the gallon mark tomorrow.
