Grilled Tuna Steaks, Fried Cabbage with Savois Sausage and Southern Eggs

How I start my day designing my day's meal plan is quite simple.  On Sunday I had planned my suppers for the week.  Then I thought of what I would like to eat for today and decided which supper meal I would choose.  I knew I wanted eggs with Savois Sausage for breakfast.  I entered my breakfast into the My Fitness Pal.  Then I added in the meals I had chosen to make this week and picked the one that had the less calories.  Because of the high fat in the sausage that I was going to use for breakfast and to make fried cabbage,  I choose the tuna for my supper.  The tuna only had 150 calories and 1g of fat for 4oz of meat.   It may seem like an expensive cut of meat but it only cost $1.75 per steak.   I made my breakfast, planned my meal for supper and headed to work.  When I got to work I grazed on half a Cutie orange till lunch.  Graze? Yes I ate one slice of my orange every 30 minutes.  I started the grazing when I started to feel hungry.  For lunch I picked some sort of leftover item I had at the office.  The winner was half a box of fried rice.  For the afternoon I like to eat a snack.  So I went to the My Fitness Pal and figured out how I was doing with my calories.  At this point I was doing great.  I choose peanuts and grazed till I left work.  See if I was not doing good with my calories I would have chosen 1/2 cup of grapes instead.  When I got home I did my 1 hour of exercise, which included 20 minutes of cardio and the rest of the time weight training.  I went home to cook my tuna supper.  I cooked it on a gas grill on high for 3 minutes per side, my mom made the fried cabbage and my daughter found a box of tuna helper minus the tuna to complete the nights menu.   Later in the evening I checked to make sure I had entered all of my food in my diary and that the portions were correct.  I still had an extra 300 calories left for the day.  My mom had made cook chocolate pudding and I treated myself to 1/2 cup.  As  you see I ate pretty good for the day and I only ate 1113 calories for the day.  If you like my meal ideas just check out my diary for a list of ingredients for that meal.  And yes! I measured and weighed everything.

 

It's how southern women diet!
