After my weight loss success, I have received numerous questions one what I eat. As I mentioned before, I follow Weight Watchers online to keep track of what I eat and to make sure I stay healthy. I try to eat a serving of fruit or vegetables with each meal and most of the time I eat multiple servings of fruit. Weight Watchers recommends that you use all your daily points. I must say that I never do this but I am never hungry. I think because I have so much filling fruit I stay full. However, if I am hungry I will eat.
I start my day with breakfast. I never was much of a breakfast eater, but I have learned that this helps me avoid getting hungry throughout the day. If I eat breakfast, I know that I will not be reaching for an unhealthy snack before lunch. Right now, I have been eating a lot of fruit with breakfast. I always eat a banana because it always helps me avoid leg cramps.
My current breakfast looks like this:
1- whole wheat waffle with a tsp of reduced fat peanut butter
1- banana
1-clementine
1-grapefruit (cut in half with a 1/2 of Tbsp of sugar on each half)
Point Value - 5 points
For lunch, I typically go with a salad route. I want to make sure I get vegetables at lunch since I am not getting any at breakfast. My typical lunch includes:
1 1/2 cups - Spinach
1 - clementine
1 - apple
1/4 cup - Kraft Shredded Cheese Fat Free
2 Tbsp of Reduced Fat Salad Dressing (Love Kraft Catalina right now)
1 - Container of Dannon Greek Yogurt with Fruit on the Bottom (blueberry is my favorite)
Point Value - 4 points
Dinner is always my bigger point value. I figure I have been extra healthy throughout the day why not eat something a little more filling at dinner time. I also try to get my protein/meat in at dinner time. My dinners vary and I plan to show those recipes throughout the blog, but one night last week I had fish tacos. These were pretty simple and the best part my husband prepared them.
2 - Carb Balance Flour Tortillas
1 - Fillet of Trout
1 - Cole Slaw Mix (in fat free sour cream and reduced fat mayo)
1/4 cup - Kraft Shredded Cheese Fat Free
Point Value - 14 points
I am allowed 26 points a day and for this day I used 23 of my points. I also had 6 servings of fruits and vegetables, 2 servings of milk, and at least 8 servings of water.
What do your daily meals look like? Are you eating enough vegetables?
