  • cathys menu..please review and let me know..

    Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs with 1 tbs. butter and 1 tbs cheddar cheese
    Lunch: tuna salad made with: 1 can tuna, 2 tbs hellmans mayo, 1/4 cup alphalfa sprouts(love them) 4 radishes, 1 stalks chopped celery, 1 pinch dill fresh, and 1/3 cup lettuce...this is so big because I take tis to work and munch on it over an 8 hour period...I work in a convinience store filled with danish and chocolate and this is how I cope!!!
    Dinner:2 cups broccoli with 1 1/2 tbs melted cheddar and two pieces(drumstick) of baked chicken covered in pepper and season salt..
    also in between I will drink 80 oz of water(at our store we have fountain drink cups and I use a 20 oz cup with water only to measure this..) as well as 1 12 oz cup green tea decaffinated with 1 splenda packet and 1 12 oz cup peppermint tea with 1 splenda packet. on this particular day in between breakfast and lunch I was hungry( I'm always hungry it seems lately) and had1 6oz porterhouse with 6 mushrooms...this seems alot to me...please help!!!

    Well broccoli is a 1 cup a day veggie. Everything else looks ok to me, I am no expert though

        Yep, I'd say with the exception of the broccoli, it looks good :yes

        Take some time to get familiar with www.fitday.com and plug your foods in there..it'll tell you where you stand when it comes to your fat/protein/carb ratios.
        Here's a link to give you a hand with it

          This menu looks really great to me - with the exception of the broccoli. If you are still hungry after all this, try adding more fats to your diet. Like eat some bacon or sausage with the scrambled eggs. Also eating slow will help you get full, rather than eating like its a race.

          Or instead of 3 meals a day, trying doing 5 or 6 smaller ones and eat snacks in between. one of my fav snacks is pepperoni slices. Or experiment, you'd be AMAZED at how well cream cheese goes with everything! I like cream cheese on some celery sticks
