Mini Meals Rock

It's Day 3 and I'm finally feeling like I'm really doing this!

I know some of you have said you get hungry between meals...well who doesn't? But I have found that if I make each meal slightly smaller and eat more often I stay right on track. Makes avoiding binges so much easier.

For example...here's what I'm doing today:

Breakfast (8am)
Half n Half - 2 Tbsp
Kellogg's Special K Protein Plus - 3/4 cup
Skim Milk - 1/2 cup
Clementine - 1

AM Snack (10am)
V8, Low Sodium - 11 oz
Almonds, dry roasted - 1/4 oz

Lunch (12pm)
Black Bean Turkey Chili - 1 cup
Clementine - 1

PM Snack 1 (2pm)
Progresso Light Italian Style Meatball Soup - 1 cup
Cabot Cheddar Cheese, 50% reduced fat - 1 piece

PM Snack 2 (4pm)
Weight Watchers yogurt - 6 oz
Almonds, dry roasted - 1/4 oz

Dinner (6pm)
Salad, spring mix - 2 cups
Feta cheese - 1/2 oz
Almond Accents, Honey Roasted - 1 Tbsp
Chicken breast - 3 oz
Wish-Bone, Light Italian - 2 Tbsp

PM Snack 3 (8pm)
Wine, Shiraz - 6 oz

Total Calories - 1285
Total WW points - 22

  1. I am glad you listed WW points. I never eat that much, yet I always go over on points. I may steal your menu! :o)

  3. I will definitely look for it! I love me some chili. So filling and hearty. Is the italian style meatball soup good? I really need to go to the grocery store.

  4. I've actually been really happy with ALL of the Progresso Light soups. Only 1 pt per serving and so 2 pts for the whole can if you wanted. The Italian Style Meatball is particularly tasty indeed :)

  8. Hey...Just a question.. Does WW have you eat that low of calories? I know when I ate really low calorie to loose weight it backfired... I actually eat about 1600 now and am in the best shape of my life! :) I talk about it here...if your interested! :) http://www.dashingdish.com/2010/04/make-peace-with-food-and-start-enjoying-your-body/
