Pre-workout snack: 1/2 cup of Kashi Go Lean cereal, 120 calories. Got to fuel the burn.
Breakfast: 3 egg quiches with some salsa, 300 calories. My wife makes these things in bulk on the weekend so that I can just pop a couple into the microwave and get going in the morning.
Daily Snacks: Greek Yogurt with 1/4 cup Kashi Go Lean cereal (in place of granola), 120 calories. 2 apples and 1 orange, approx. 260 calories. I try to space these snacks out to keep from getting too hungry between meals. I eat one of the apples around 9 am, the yogurt/Kashi mix at 11, another apple at about 2-3 and then the orange at 4 or so. In between all of that, I'm usually chewing gum.
Lunch: Taco Salad (chicken, avocado, olives, tomato, salsa, sour cream on baby spinach) and Sugar Free Jello Pudding, 438 calories. One of my favorite salad lunches, also one of the highest calorie salads. My lunches range from just over 300 calories up to 450. Don't let the relatively small size of the container fool you. This would fill a dinner plate and be heaping. Back to an older post, 2.5 cookies or this for lunch. Easy choice.
Dinner: Lasagne with a cup of corn added in, 532 calories. A go-to dinner. My wife makes up a big batch of this, freezes it in appropriate serving sizes so that I have a quick option when there's time to make a normal dinner. Dinners tend to run between 450-550 calories.
After Dinner Snack: 15oz. of watermelon, 140 calories. Depending on how many calories I have left to play with at the end of the day, I might have some pineapple or cantaloupe with the some watermelon, or have some Cheerios (no milk). Cheerios is a great snack because it's fairly low call so long as you don't put milk on it.
So, total calories for today: 1910, just 13 over my target of 1897 (determined by using the LoseIt! weight loss and calorie counting app).
That's a pretty typical day for what I am eating each day.
