Breakfast time I felt I needed whole grains in my system. I had a serving of oatmeal. I don't like my oatmeal with water and like it made with milk. A coworker had brought some skim milk to work. It was going to expire over the weekend and was going to throw it down the drain. I took it from him and we had a couple of these 1/2 cup measures. I put them in the freezer for me to use in my oatmeal. I don't like skim milk but I can't tell the difference when mixed with other foods like the oatmeal. I had recently bought me some 1/2 cup portion containers to use next time he does this. I saved 21 calories and 2 fat's when compared to 2% milk. When your on a calorie restricted diet you can use those saved calories. For lunch I had some leftover black eye pea soup. Then later around 2pm I was hungry so I measured out 2 tablespoons of pimento cheese to snack on. I used a teaspoon to eat a little at a time. Basically every time I felt a huger coming on I ate a little bite, till it was gone. I went do 40 minutes of cardio when I got home from work. Then I had some Sam's Club rotisserie chicken with some cornbread and butter. Now look at this, how can you go wrong. A huge already cooked chicken for only $ 4.97. We ate some for supper and I will be using the rest to make some kind of quick meal this weekend. Probably chicken and cheese quesadilla. I finished the day with a total of 1238 calories for the day. I was under my calories by 92. 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. A crucial part of everyone's dieting is will power. The second part is portion control with good choices and third is physical activity.
It's how southern women diet!
Happy Eating
