What is your daily eating habits when your trying to lose weight?

Question

I'm always curious on what other people eat when they are dieting. It gives me ideas as well.

Answer 1

I eat breakfast to try get my metabolism going, usually I have a yogurt and glass of OJ. I try to have a little snack about 10, eat a lean cuisine TV for lunch, another small snack like carrots about 3pm and then like chicken and 2 veggies for dinner.

Answer 2

Due to health and religious reasons, this is the diet I try to follow most days of the week. However, I love food and am underweight, so on some days it's impossible!

Breakfast

1/2 cp canned, petite diced tomatoes
1 egg
1 slice whole wheat Sara Lee toast
1/2 cp frozen peas
1/2 cp frozen corn

I divide up the tomatoes to fry up the egg and frozen vegetables and serve it up with a glass of 1% milk.

Snack

1 container Dannon Lite
1 small banana or apple

If you decide to try this snack, get the vanilla, cherry vanilla, blueberry, or peach flavored yogurts. The rest taste like crap.

Lunch

3/4 cp baby carrots
1 large celery stalk
1 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
2 slices Whole Wheat Sara Lee bread

I pair it with milk again.

Snack

1 med fruit (apple, banana, pear, apricot, etc)

Dinner

1 cp brocolli
1 cp squash or five bruessel sprouts
1/2 cp tomatoes, petite, diced
1 cp 1%
1 cp Kashi cereal

I have cereal and another vegetable stirfry.

I usually don't have dessert, but I sometimes have a small fruit as a snack after my workout.

Answer 3

Fibre.....it keeps you from being hungry, and it absorbs fats in the intestinal tract for elimanation and less absorption. Fibre foods, like the great whole grain breads toasted, with a bit of cream cheese instead of butter, or margarines. Yogurts with 2 tbl of wheat germ stirred in and topped with chopped almonds, or cashews. Fruit, lots of veggies, and you need the meat proteins as well, just choose lean meats, broil, or baked, or steam in a thin flavored sauce. Here is a tip..take your skinless boneless chicken, or chunk of fish, lay flat as possible & or cut in strips then marinate it in a ziplock bag..with teriyaki sauce, or ??? and squeeze out all the air before sealing the bag. Refrig or freeze in portion controlled amounts. Usually refrig for overnight and no more than 3 days, then steam, bake or broil your own flavored meats. Sliced thin, and stirred fried with veggies...or top a spinach salad, green salad as a lunch or dinner meal. This is a time saver too.
