My biggest issue is dinner. When I actually get into it and eat healthy, this is my typical type of meals I alternate between:
Breakfasts:
1 Egg sunny side up cooked in a pan with pam and not butter since it has no calories. A piece of whole wheat toast without butter and one low fat 90 calorie yogart
cheerios, mini wheats, raisin bran or grape nuts cereal measured out like you do it with measured out fat free skim milk
Instant oatmeal and a peice of fruit
Lunches:
Progresso low sodium soups (I like Italian Style Wedding or Chicken Dumpling)
turkey breast on whole wheat bread with mustard, lettuce, tomato but NO mayo or cheese
Salad with grilled chicken
Snacks:
String cheese, fruit, cucumber slices, carrot sticks, almonds
Non water drinks:
Diet green tea
Dinner: And this is where I get tripped up!
I have a hard time making meals where I can figure out the calorie count. So usually, I just make whatever I usually do, but I portion mine out so I'm only eating like half of it. If we have burritos, I have half a burrito. If we have spaghetti, I have a serving the size of my fist. But I have a lot of problems with getting a lot of 'healthy' dinner recipes, even though I look on the web for them all the time.
But my biggest thing lately is that I do wonderful the first three days. And then, by the fourth I feel like I'm starving all the time! Doesn't help that I can't eat dinner until 7-8 because my husband doesn't get home until then. So by 5pm I am starving, and that's usually when I mess up. Even if I try to stave it off with a piece of fruit or something. And then, if I do give in and mess up, I get frustrated and REALLY mess up. I can't just mess up in moderation, lol.
