Food Ideas

Breakfast

For Breakfast I have been measuring out 3Tbs. Kellogg's All-Bran Buds into a 1 cup measure and then filling the rest with Oatmeal Crips: Maple Nut cereal. I then pour it into a bowl and cover with 1 cup of Skim Milk. Make sure to ask your nurse or dietitian about the milk because some say that the 1 cup includes the milk some say it doesn’t. To me since you are a loud to drink skim milk on top of your 1 cup it shouldn’t count.

Lunch

A wrap is a good idea for a quick lunch and easily filled with protein and vegetables. I have been eating them for lunch and can't get enough.

Ingredients

   - Lunch Meat (I use chicken or turkey)

   - Cheddar Cheese

   - 6” Flour Tortilla

   - Lettuce

   - Cucumber

   - Dressing (I like Tzatziki, Ranch, or Caesar)

Just throw all the ingredients onto the tortilla and enjoy, I know I do.

I also like just having 2 soft boiled eggs, 2 slices of lunch meat (chicken or turkey again), and a few baby carrot sticks or slices of cucumber.

Snack

Both of us prefer not to eat snacks if we can manage it. I know when we first started the 1 cup it was impossible. They say it takes three weeks to form a habit and after a while you just get used to eating the one cup and most of the time no snacks. For those times that we do need a snack here are some that we like.

1. belVita: Soft Baked Breakfast Biscuit – I have tried the Cranberry Orange flavor and the Banana Chocolate & Oatmeal flavor. I don’t recommend the Cranberry Orange, but did like the Banana Chocolate & Oatmeal.

2. Craisins: Ocean Spray 100 Calorie packs – Love these I throw them in my purse for those days I am out of the house and need a quick snack.
