Holly's Daily Menu Week of 2.7.10
Hi everyone. As an example of how I eat, below is exactly what I ate during the week referenced below:
Week of Sunday, February 7, 2010 to Saturday, February 13, 2010
Sunday
Breakfast: followHolly Cottage Cheese Sundae/coffee
Lunch: I picked up a salad from the deli section at Trader Joe’s – the Trader Joe’s Spa Salad. It was really good – it has chicken, noodles, grapes and lettuce with low-cal honey mustard dressing. It was only 310 calories, and had a fair amount of protein. I’d get this again.
Dinner: About 5 ounces of low-fat havarti cheese (70 calories per ounce)/a few small pieces of asiago bread (about 150 calories)/roasted asparagus – YUM!/glass of cabernet
Snack: None
Monday
Breakfast: followHolly Cottage Cheese Sundae/coffee
Lunch: followHolly Tofu Sandwich/leftover roasted asparagus/hot tea
Dinner: I was really hungry late afternoon, so I had a bowl of dry roasted almonds and peanuts – about 500 calories worth. After I got home from teaching my evening yoga class, I made a cup of chai tea with milk, and had a Balance bar (200 calories, and 15 grams of protein).
Snack: Apple
Tuesday
Breakfast: followHolly Cottage Cheese Sundae/coffee
Lunch: I was at an event at which they served food. I had a roast beef sandwich – I removed the top slice of bread and folded it in half/hot tea
Dinner: I had a piece of stuffed salmon that I bought at Costco. This is a large fresh salmon fillet (about 6 ounces) filled with about 3 ounces of crab and rice/followHolly Salad/Crystal Light Lemonade
Snack: Apple
Wednesday
Breakfast: 1/2 bagel shop egg sandwich (1/2 spinach bagel, 1 egg, 1 oz. cheddar cheese)/coffee
Lunch: followHolly Turkey and Cheese Pita/carrot sticks/hot tea
Dinner: followHolly Cottage Cheese Berry Delight/hot tea
Snack: I had a pretty healthy serving of dry roasted almonds (about 300 calories). This is more calories than I have allotted for my snack, so I cut down on my dinner calories to balance it.

Dinner: 1 pint of nonfat frozen yogurt (approx. 500 calories) with 1 serving of peanut M&Ms (250 calories)/decaf coffee
