For my plan, I need to have less than 24g of fat daily. To achieve this, I have been eating cereal with non-fat milk for breakfast, usually 2 eggos with syrup (no butter) for lunch and a granola bar, and then I'll have my protein shake in lowfat chocolate milk and a vitamin. Then I have no clue what to eat for dinner. Last night I had 3 tiny perogies.

Can someone give me a site or something with low-fat dinner recipes, and for lunch, I'm getting sick of eggos! lol and I can't do salads because they are no good for me unless I can pile on the dressing and cheese lol...

ANY suggestions will be very much appreciated!! lol :)

Fish, Lean beef, Chicken, with small serving complex carbs, olive oil drizzled on some tomatoes with fresh basil and garlic!
Now, I made myself want to eat again!

Your diet could use a lot of work. You almost have no protein and most of the food your eating is junk.

Eggo's have practically no nutritional value and are nothing but dough anyways so I would suggest ditching them. Eat eggs and oatmeal for breakfast, for both complex carbs, protein and some good fats.

Cottage cheese is a great snack food, high in protein and low in fat, sugar and calories. Lose the granola bar; They are like the cookie that pretends to be healthy. Tuna is great for lunch; I use cottage cheese and no-fat mayo for filler, on two slices of 12-grain bread.

Dinner; Take Carivans advice. Frozen veggies are great because they are both easy to cook and nutritious. Three porgies is not a dinner, it's not even a snack. Chicken is easy to cook and probably one of the best lean proteins you can eat.

Hope that helps.

Also, check out Assimer's recipe sticky. The egg/spinach bake is awesome (I make a pan-ful rather than in muffin cups). I add cooked chicken and switch up the veggies for variety. Also there are an awful lot of things you can do with ground turkey/black beans/vegetables. Or bake a turkey breast and use it up over a few days with a few veggies and a sweet potato...

I knew it was junk lol.. just didn't know what to eat!! lol..

I basically only have about 5 mins max in the morning for eating if I want to get in a workout so that's why I eat cereal. What about a fruit smoothie instead? I'm slow at making eggs, so that won't work and I'm not really an oatmeal fan lol.. I thought cereal was good because of all the carbs.

Also what if I drank the protien shake in the morning and took my vitamin then too??

About the lunch- I'm a VERY picky eater... cottage cheese, mayo, tuna, eck.. :surprised: lol

The frozen veggies and chicken sound good tho.. I'll def keeping looking for recipes..

The egg/spinach bake sounds REALLLLLYYYYY good right now lol *drool* so I'll look for that..

Thanks everyone!!
