A day on No S

Post by Hungry Girl » Thu Nov 13, 2008 9:14 pm

This is a typical day on No S for me:

Breakfast: 2 individual packets of instant oatmeal - one of them original and one of them flavored, mixed together with a cup of boiling skim milk.

Lunch: Super Salad with a little crumbly cheese on top and a small french roll.


Dinner: Wholewheat pasta, marinara sauce, parmesan cheese and side salad.


2 average size glasses white wine


1 fat free cappuccino sometime during the day (if necessary.)

If hungry at bedtime I alow myself one slice of toast with I can't believe it's not butter spray

What do others eat in a typical No S day?
Here we go again!

Today was

B: Steel cut oatmeal porridge and two boiled eggs.

L: Butternut squash soup with added rice (I make a WHOLE BUNCH of soups, so almost always have leftovers on hand)

D: Chicken breast, sweet potato and green beans.

Oh, and a glass of wine with dinner.

This is the way I used to eat doing No S and I was happy with it. I've been back on for two days and I think I've been so happy to be doing something about my eating habits again that it feels easy. Ask me next week *grin*.

If you want to see typical days, check the "Daily Check In" board. A lot of us post our meals there.

Cheers,

Breakfast: Green Smoothie (spinach, carrots, bananas, flaxseed, water, and some other type of fruit)

Lunch: Thick-cut rolled oats mixed with dried fruit, nuts, and seeds, and just barely moistened with water

Dinner: A full plate of whatever sounds good!

I eat a pretty wide variety of foods (there's not a single category of food I dislike, as long as it's reasonably fresh and well prepared, I'll eat it), so I can't really meaningfully talk about a "typical" day of meals, but in the interests of contributing something, here's what I had yesterday:

Breakfast: toasted whole wheat bread with butter and cheese. Fresh squeezed juice from 90% of a grapefruit (my daughters had the rest). Mug of black coffee.

Lunch: Oatmeal with dried apricots, dried blueberries, cashews, and soy beans.

Dinner: Salmon steak with green beans and quinoa. 2 glasses red wine.

Several mornings a week I have 1/2- 1 cup Fiber One with 2% milk, two egg whites, walnuts or pecans or flax meal and coffee with 1/2c. milk, 2 teaspoons cocoa powder and stevia. Maybe a fruit. If not that starch, then whole wheat toast. In winter, I'll probably have oatmeal more. If I'm very hungry, I'll have eggs and toast.

Lunch is a veggie, grain, and either beans, tofu, or meat, and a sauce served on a bed of lettuce, a serving of plain yogurt or cottage cheese, fruit and nuts.


Dinner similar to lunch but less lettuce, more grain, less dairy, more veggies. Maybe with a small quesadilla.

Pasta with roasted red bell pepper, garlic and fresh basil sauteed in olive oil with parmesan cheese and mango chunks with full fat plain yogurt

Curried butternut squash soup with rice, a pita bread and a slice of cheese with a slice of quince paste.

Mmm, love eating like this!.
