Just my own little cyberspace to post things that interest me on the interwebs and in real life, and to throw my two cents out there every now and then... even if no one is listening.
Today I came thisclose to hitting all of my daily nutritional goals. I actually had lots of room to breathe with my calories and carbs. I hit the top end of my fat limit so I'll try to work on that a bit, but the biggest thing I'm having trouble with is getting enough protein! I'll have to find something to give me that little extra bit I need without putting me over the edge with everything else. Any suggestions??
Greek yogurt, nuts, hummus, tuna (can mix tuna and hummus together - no mayo...yum), ovaltine, egg whites (makes a fabulous omelet w/lots of veggies and sprinkle of cheese) whey protein shakes blended w/fruit, natural peanut butter or nut butter, almond milk...
Great ideas from Rhonda... another way I get a big helping of protein is the EAS shakes. They taste pretty good and have 17g protein. It's 3 pts on WW. Cal: 110, Total fat: 3g, Protein 17g, Fiber 1g, Total Carb: 4g I don't like eating first thing in the morning, so this gives me something easy. Making your own smoothies is a great idea too if you add the whey or soy protein.
