hey guys- i suggest making every meal count nutritionally. such as- if you want eggs- only have egg whites, it's where all the good stuff is and it's a hell of a lot less calories. also- get into nuts. peanuts and flaxseeds are great sources of fiber. today i'm having for breakfast: 4 egg whites scrambled, 1 tbspn jelly, 2 tbspn flax seeds- this makes for 180 calories, 4 g fiber, 17.4 g protien and only 18 carbs and less then 240 sodium. plus- there's a lot to it and it tastes great. what i had for dinner the other night that i made was really delicious: 1 chicken breast, 2 tbspn flax seeds, cambells cream of mushroom soup- this was only 302 calories, 5 g of fiber, 30.7 g protien, only 13 carbs- granted, it was kinda high with sodium, but that should be expected when using soup- it was about 930 soduim. oh and another thing is popcorn comes in snack containers now. so you can buy just a small bag to pop for a snack. i get kettle corn and for a whole bag it's only 15 calories and it's really filling and great for when you just want to nibble on stuff for a while. i hope some of this helped- sorry it was so long. i'm going to go make that breakfast now...
