Let's help each other out by posting some recipes! I've seen some good stuff in the main thread - drinks and dishes that sound great. I'll start with one of my favorite Breakfast (or even lunch) meals.

Eggbeaters omelette:

1/2 cup of Eggbeaters 1/2 cup equals 2 large eggs - increase to 3/4 cup if you want a 3 egg omelette (if you can eat that much).

1/4 cup of Fat-free shredded cheese (I use this):Protein, and a great way to start the day! :bored:

What I ate for dinner tonight:

Spaghetti with turkey sausage. Ok, I know the sausage is a processed food, it's not something I do all the time - but it is good once in a while to break the diet up.

1 turkey sausage link - 160 calories, 10 grams of fat, 0 carbs, 17 grams of Protein.

Spaghetti Sauce (I use Emeril's) - one half cup (I didn't finish it all) - 75 calories, 4 grams of fat, 10 grams carbs, 2 grams of protein.

Spaghetti - Heartland Wholegrain - 1oz. - 95 calories, 1 g of fat, 20 g carbs, 4 g protein.

This is one of my "heavier" meals, but it will keep me full for a long time. And I have noticed after eating (a small amount) of Pasta I will lose some weight. Both my dietitian and exercise physiologist told me I need no less than 100 g of carbs a day to burn fat.

This is just what I'm doing, I know things are different for everyone, and there are many ways to lose those pounds. Please share what you are eating! Someone had some really good drink ideas, I think I lost those recipes! (and I'm too lazy to go back through the very long master thread, lol) :crying:

Big hugs all! :crying:

Edit: Oops, I forgot to add the veggie I made with this :wub: - we had asparagus (I can only eat the tips). I was very bad and ate the meat and carbs first (it's hard not to with spaghetti!) but I did manage a few asparagus tips. It's a "free" vegetable, meaning I never count any carbs or calories in it. I shoulda saved room for more of it though!
