  • PB & banana sammich?

    You bet your *kitten* it's healthy.
  • Baked chicken with steamed broccoli, cauliflower and carrots.
  • Ham sandwich... I had and yeah I believe it was healthy some protein and carbs and a bit of fat :)
  • Yes, I think I did pretty good. 1/2 pita bread stuffed with homemade chicken & ricotta meatballs with bbq sauce. Sliced tomato on side and fiber one bar. 420 calories; 25 g protein; 11 g fiber.
  • Chicken Enchiladas from Chili's. Yuuuuuup.

    Tacos for dinner.

    Happy Cinco de Mayo!

    I made myself a veggie bowl with:
    Broccoli
    Yellow peppers
    Artichoke hearts
    Cukes
    Brussels sprouts
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
    Salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder and onion powder

    I also had 1 serving crunchy peanut butter mixed with
    1 serving Rapunzel chocolate hazelnut butter.
    And
    2 servings Skinny Pop white cheddar popcorn!

    I'm full!

    Edited for reflection:
    Delicious And Nutritious!

    Yup. Spaghetti Squash with turkey meat sauce and 2 servings of low fat ice cream. Then coffee and a square of chocolate. Fits in my calories just fine.
  • I try not to label my food as healthy or unhealthy.

    Today was a work luncheon:

    Small salad with Italian dressing
    Chicken Marsala
    Spinach Risotto

    Definitely heavier than my normal lunch and I am needing some coffee now to survive the afternoon meetings!

  • I had a sammich on toasted bread that had flax and sunflower seeds in it - yum. Sammich had cream cheese, pear slices, deli turkey and red onion.
    This whole IIFYM is hard for me. Nothing fits my macros; I can't seem to reach my protein goal to save my life.
  • I'm pretty sure that my salad with lite dressing cancels out my bologna sandwich for a zero nutritional value. Oh well, it tasted good. :)

    Analyze and reflect on your lunch choice for today. Is it healthy? Let's discuss in a paragraph.

    My lunch contained dairy, meat, some vegetables and some fruit so provided various nutrients. It fits in my calories for the day. It was a little higher sodium than I would like at a meal but I don't have a medical issue that requires me to eat low sodium. I don't consider it unhealthy.

    I'm pleased with my lunch for today. Zucchini noodles with a little tomato sauce/mushrooms/red onion, greek yogurt and a super crunchy royal gala apple. A little higher on the sodium side than normal for me because I was too lazy to make my own sauce and used it from a jar, but yummy!!! :)

    How do you get your zucchini noodles to not turn to mush??
    I sauté for just 2-3 minutes and they stay crisp - al dente style, but you can take your raw noodles, put the sauce/veggies/toppings on and pack it up so the next day you microwave your leftovers. The noodles are never mushy.
  • McDonalds grilled chicken bacon ranch salad. Fits perfectly into my calories and macros. Plus, ranch is delicious.
  • Chicken Quesadilla with cheddar and onions. White steamed rice with beans on top and guacamole dipping sauce. Does it get any more healthy than that? I think not.
  • Yes I believe so:

  • It fit into my calorie and macro goals, so yeah, it was healthy.

  • Had a tin of albacore tuna with a couple tbsp mayo. Was still hungry so I had half an apple with some peanut butter. Then I was too full... Being 6 months pregnant there is no in between - you're either starving or stuffed! But yeah, it was healthy. Got my veggies at breakfast and will have more at dinner.
  • Healthy? Maybe. But either way it fit for today. :smiley:
  • Mine was a lot lighter than normal because it's Cinco de Mayo and I have to save room for my husband's special margarita that he makes from scratch. I've saved half my calories for dinner/evening. Anyway, here's lunch...

  • Chicken stir-fry. Rice noodles. Would've been tastier with egg noodles.
