Egg In A Basket Breakfast

October 17, 2016 MENU

 

My Monday breakfast started with eggs and toast.  But I didn't want just eggs and toast.  So what did I fix.  Egg in a basket breakfast.  It is one of my kids favorite things.  You get a glass and cut out a hole in the middle of the bread.  Then butter the bread like you would for toast. Then put in the skillet and crack an egg in the middle.  Valois.. you got egg in a basket.   My morning time I wanted a snack so I finished up my pea salad.  Lunch was the leftover turkey ham, biscuit breakfast.  At this point I was doing real good on my calories.  I decided to have an afternoon snack of a few strawberries.  While I went to exercise I had my daughter bake some chicken wings and we had buffalo wings.  I finished it with a glass of milk to cool the spice.  But I love spice.  I check my calories again and I was doing wonderful.  Before bed I treated myself to 2 mini Halloween pieces of candy.  I finished the day with a total of 1108 calories for the day.  I was under my calories by 222.   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.

Weekend Work Pancakes Steak and Breakfast Burrito

October 15-16, 2016 MENU

 
October is a very busy month for me.  For the weekend I winged it with what I have been learning about eating within my calories.   I didn't log my food in my diary until Monday.  Except Saturday I was so hungry for pancakes.  I made 1 cup of mix and me and my mom split it.  I had my generous helping of butter and syrup.  I learned on Monday that it was a whopping 733 calories I ate just for breakfast.  OMG..  I knew it was a lot but did not expect it that high.  I went help at the church doing a sewing project.  They had subway sandwiches and fried chicken with chips, desert and drinks.  I Picked one piece of fried chicken and skipped the rest.  Now at this point I knew I was probably over my calories.  For supper I rummaged through the fridge and found 2 hot dogs that needed to be eaten.  Do I make a hot dog or just eat the hot dog without the bread and stuff.  Well I picked to just eat the meat.  I finished Saturday with a total of 1448 calories for the day.  That was over my calories by 118.   Wow I did great.  So if I would have had the fixings with lunch and had a real hot dog with the bun and stuff I would have been way way over.  Do that was awesome.  On Sunday I was hungry for a homemade breakfast burrito.  I forgot to eat the wheat tortillas I had, carb smart wheat ones.  For lunch instead of eating out at a restaurant I bought us steaks to grill at home.  That is always a good treat.  But just to let you know.  I buy the rib eye steaks from Sam's.  They usually come 3 to a pack.  I actually stick the steaks in the freezer for half an hour to firm up.  Then I take and electric knife and slice them longways in half (see photo).  I end up with 6 steaks.  So I cooked 3 and I have 3 for another day.  That one steak not cut in half would be an enormous amount of calories.  I weighed my steak at 8oz I knew that would be a lot of calories.  I had made baked squash, cauliflower and garlic cloves to go with it.  For supper I ate more vegetables with a cup of milk and called it a day.  Amazingly my daily calories were only 1174 for the day.  I was UNDER by 156 calories.  I think I can do this.  I can regulate my diet for a lifetime.  I might still do the my fitness pal to make sure I stay on track.   I will probably change the diary to how to eat healthy for a lifetime and how to portion for dieting.  I will see when I get there.   Even though I went over my calories one day I was very active.  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.

Louisiana Southern French Toast

Sunday October 2, 2016 MENU

Sorry I am a little behind on the diary.  Well Sunday I splurged and had me some good ole Louisiana southern style french toast.  This is nothing like what you get at the restaurants nor Mc Donald's. It is very delicious and as you can see very fattening.  I made 6 pieces of french toast for me and my mother.  I usually split that between 3 people.  I wanted a southern breakfast treat.  Well that breakfast treat was only 788 calories! What? I should have put that in my diary before I ate.  OMG...  788 calories.  Ok that is a breakfast meal that is way over.  I will stick to my 2 slices in the future when I do have this.  For lunch we had some BBQ chicken dinners.  The plate you see here I ate half the coleslaw, half the rice dressing and half the chicken.  I put the rest away including the pork and beans for me to eat at one of my lunches for work.  I fed the bread to the dog. lol.  I knew I would be over today but with putting half my lunch away before I began actually helped.  I still had 48 calories left.  So I could actually keep myself from going to much over.  For supper we decided to use up leftovers in a new way.   We had leftover biscuits from the fundraiser, the rotisserie chicken from sam's and some leftover mixed vegetables in a container in the freezer.  We mixed all that together with a can of cream of mushroom soup and volia we have supper.  It's like a lazy version of chicken pot pie.  I cut one biscuit in half and poured  a little over a half a cup on top.   I finished the day with a total of 1502 calories for the day.  I was over by calories 172.   I feel confident that I still did good for the day.  I did do housework for 4 hours.  I am sure I burned those extra calories.  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.
