My typical day of eating:
Breakfast:
My breakfast usually consists of something quick like oatmeal with whatever toppings I have that day. My favorite brand is Oat Fit by Better Oats. Each pouch contains 100 calories and no sugar added. I usually make it with hot water at work. On the weekend, I sometimes make it with almond milk.
I recently discovered Clif dark chocolate and coconut bars and am hooked. They are a bit high in calories but not too bad. I usually just eat half of the bar and save the other half for later. I am definitely a dark chocolate girl. Dark chocolate + coconut = tasty combination!
Lunch:
I do pack my lunch a couple of times a week but when I don't, Panera Bread is my go-to choice for a lunch out. Their salads are the bomb! They are in the 400-450 calorie range but very filling and tasty. My favorites are the Asian sesame chicken salad (400 calories) and the chicken Caesar salad (430 calories). I usually skip the bread.
Dinner:
We have homemade dinner most nights. I recently switched to brown rice and only eat one cup at a time (215 calories). Zucchini noodles are my new favorite. I don't eat red meat during the week at all. I do sometimes go out for a hamburger once or twice a month but no more than that. I usually don't eat after 7:00 p.m. If I am hungry, I opt for an apple or something light (definitely no sugar). I hope you find this post helpful.
