just curious what people's day consists of....... sorry if similar topics

have already been posted.

and, do you diet? i know if we consume high calories we won't lose

weight..... but other than that, do you eat what you want or look

for low fat, low carb, high Protein, etc. options

this may be a good thread to get ideas for tomorrow's lunch!! lol

dinner is easier....... it's at work that i have difficulty with.... i was a

chronic 'buy lunch at work', now i bring it with me more often.

For Breakfast I had a banana and some meat & Beans called Calico Beans. For lunch, some raw cauliflower w/minimal low-fat dip, a Granny Smith apple chunked and dipped into Peanut Butter.

I miss my carbs! (Bagels especially).

I just had an apple and rhubarb yogurt - full fat, I hate low fat yogurt, so I dont eat tons of yogurt, as the saturated fat is not that great. That was breakfast.

I was planning on a sandwich for lunch - probably ham and salad

dinner tonight is a barbecue, got some nice lamb loin chops which we'll have with salad. Might have a small glass of wine with dinner.

I try not to eat between meals at all. I do better on a 3 meal per day, no Snacks kind of routine, once I start eating at 4pm I cant stop kind of thing, so I just dont start.

Thats an average day for me. I dont diet, I dont count calories at all and I most definitely dont do low carb. I just eat what I ate before in smaller portions minus all the snacks and crap in between.

And whilst I dont do low carb, we have far far fewer Pasta dinners and much more plain meat and 3 veg type dinners now.

Mostly for breakfast I have a large glass or two of skim milk, sometimes I throw oatmeal in there but most mornings I am too tight for anything but liquids and I am not a huge fan of the drink something hot to eat more theory.

lunch really varies if I am working at home or in the office.. when I am at home I am very very bad because I forget to eat. So I tend to have salads, cheese and crackers with some meat, eggs, fruit and veges etc.

dinner again is just a normal meal tonight is brisket, last night was a fondue with veges, fruit and Protein.

I can still eat bread no matter how tight I get, I don't eat a lot of it but it doesn't pose a problem for me. I also tend to try and have types of food, I focus on a protein first, then veges, then carbs. I also need to mix textures of food it seems to work better with my stomach and band. So if I am having beef, I need to have the veges with it just the beef sitting in my stomach alone doesn't work nearly as well.

Breakfast: 1 low fat yogurt, 1 tablespoon of granola and 1/2 a banana

lunch 1/3 a chicken salad sandwich, 3 dill pickles and a low fat yogurt

Supper (will be) 1 piece of chicken quesidialla (sp?), salad (regular dresssing - I just can't give it up)

Snack - 1 low fat popsicle, and 1 turkey pepperette stick (50 yummy calories)

I hope this helps!
