[quote=Anonymous]I am 5'4" and about 125 lbs.  I am pretty slim, but very muscular.  I have a toddler and a full time job. I work out 2-3x a day in a very intense, isometric workout. I also walk a lot partly out of necessity because my daycare and home are far from the metro (in DC) and the bus is unreliable.

I agree re processed foods. We try to avoid them, and cook from scratch, but with 2 working parents with stressful jobs, it is not always possible. I don't believe in eating "diet" foods, and was raised that a little butter is a good thing. Always. And, when I was trying to lose weight, I found that the more I obsessed about what I ate, and counted calories, the harder it was to lose the weight.

I drink tons of water, and don't drink soda (way too sweet for me).

Here is what I eat:

Bfast:

oatmeal with maple syrup or whole wheat toast/bagel with either hummus or peanut butter. But sometimes my toddler wants my breakfast or part of it after eating hers.
Also, sometimes I eat a high protein yogurt like Siggis.
Coffee/lattes, sometimes grapefruit juice

Snack at work:
pistachios or almonds

Lunch:
leftovers--usually some sort of soup, lentils and whole wheat pita, rice and beans, maybe whole wheat pasta and sauce, or occasionally a microwave thing (one of the healthier options at WF). Sometimes I go out and grab an arugula salad.  I hate eating the microwave meals, but I work out at lunch so I really cannot go and grab lunch if I want to leave at a reasonable time. I work at my desk.

Dinner
Maybe a beer or glass of wine while I get dinner prepped/talk to my husband. I don't always finish it. If dinner is taking a while, I might snack on a few whole grain chips or a chunk of parmiaganno.  
Homemade soup, or whole wheat pasta with veggies, sauce, or dark green veggie, protein
a couple pieces of high quality dark chocolate
Lately, I have been eating ice cream, because it is dark at 5pm, damnit.  But, with the holidays, I will probably stop. [/quote]
