6:00 am Coffee with 1tbs 2% milk and splenda. (30 cal)
7:00am Protein shake (Pure Protein all naturals vanilla) mixed with hot coffee and a packet of splenda. If you ever missed Cappuccino, you won't have to again! (130 cal)
10:00am Zone bar. I prefer the Cinnamon Roll or Kashi Roll peanut carmel (approx. 240 cal)
12:00pm I am very lucky and live 1 mile from my office so I am able to come home at lunch and have time to cook something. I usually have a cup of healthy choice soup. (120) or 8 cocktail shrimp with cocktail sauce (100), or a grilled chicken tender (70).
5:30 I usually eat whatever the family is having for dinner as I try to cook healthy for them. Last night we had the thin (breakfast) cuts of pork chops approx 2 oz baked covered with carmelized onions. (approx 185 cal) 2 tbs of mashed potatoes (2 % milk, light butter) (65 cal), 1/2 cup broccoli (27). My children love all foods so it is easy for us to eat well at home as they will eat anything! I try to keep calories for dinner under 500 for a normal portion for the family so mine is going to be less than that.
So I end up usually about 800 calories. That is what I try to keep it at. I hope this helps!

Thanks Heather! 800 calories. I am eating almost twice as much, no wonder I am stalled! This is really helpful.
Wow! 800 calories! I usually have that by the afternoon. If I eat under 1200, everything stops for me. :(
Great ideas! :)
Wow, I never thought of adding my protein to my coffee! And I add it to a lot of things! This is such a good idea, thanks!
Wow 800 calories! I usually eat about 1,200 a day.
Your meals sound so similar to mine! I'm up around 1100 calories on my workout days, though, and around 900-1000 on other days. :)
I have non-picky kiddos too -- makes things WORLDS easier than if I had to plan around them. yay!
Looks like your emphasis is on protein? Do you count grams? I always have to remind myself "protein first"- it helps so much.
