[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 552113, member: 805"] Another good site that I'm using is myfitnesspal.com - I like it because it has a food journal that I use EVERY SINGLE DAY! I plan my meals for the next day the day before (though I plan ahead for the next week on Thursdays since I grocery shop on Friday) so I don't have to think the day of. I eat 5 times a day with my evening meal being the largest (I split up 1500 calories) with fiber and protein at every meal. The food journal breaks everything down by calories, carbs, fats, protein, etc. I like the food journal because it's personal accountability. They also have a wonderful tool I use for recipes. I can put all the ingrediants of a favorite recipe and it breaks it down by servings -- that way I can make changes if I choose to make it healthier and it is a permanent part of my account. I'm a big cook ahead person and do several protein servings and vegetables over the weekend and freeze for the week. I also make egg white omelets in muffin tins on Sunday afternoons (an equivalent of one egg per cupcake cup) with roasted veggies (I roast a big batch on Sunday mornings and use all week) and about 1/2 a teaspoon of grated parm cheese (pour egg white mixture almost to the top of a muffin tin cup sprayed with cooking spray, add chopped roasted veggies and a tad of parm cheese and bake at 350 for 10-12 mins - that way they are firm on the sides but still a tad soft in the center since you need to micro them before eating - store in a plastic storage container lined with wax paper). I make between 6 and 8 a week. In the morning I just take two out of the fridge, cut them up and micro for a minute. That with a slice of whole grain toast or Ezekiel bread with no marg or butter but sugar free jelly is my breakfast 3-4 times a week! Prepping on the weekends really helps me during the week not have to think which, for me, translates into better choices! Another one of my favorite breakfasts is one tomato chopped, 1/2 avocado chopped, and two ounces of turkey or chicken (I buy the thick cut Oscar Meyer) chopped.
