Re: Dieters ...do you think this is a good menu for the day??

that seems like a really low calorie total to me. you only have 900 something. i'd add some fruit to breakfast, some peanut butter on the pear, maybe a piece of whole wheat bread with lunch, some almonds with the yogurt, and something like brown rice with dinner. but that's just me and i'm no nutrition expert.

Re: Dieters ...do you think this is a good menu for the day??

add protiens to your carbs ... you won't get such a 'high' from the sugars and crash.

i.e. apple with peanut butter, yogurt w/ almonds

coffee w/skim milk (30 cal) .add 2 slices low carb bread here.

*snack- pear (100 cal) . Add 1 tbs peanut butter here

*Lunch- salad with Lettuce,tomato,cucumbers,tuna,and low fat honey mustard dressing 250 calories and 5gm fat Add 1/4 cup beans or 2 slices of low carb bread here

*snack- nonfat yogurt 70 calries add 6-8 roasted unsalted almonds here

*dinner- Chicken (baked) vegetables 250 cal. add 1/3 cup brown rice AND 15 grapes here
