FOr fun, I decided to take your menu for today and make it lighter and healthier with a few substitutions:

Breakfast - a light english muffin or bagel thin (preferably whole wheat) with TBS light cream cheese and tomato

Mid-Morning Snack - substitute fat free milk or half & half in coffee; go with a square of dark chocolate in lieu of the pastry (even if tiny)

Lunch - substitute a leaner meat like turkey, roasted or grilled chicken instead of RB. Skip the bread and get the meat on a salad, or go with whole grain breads if possible.

Afternoon snack - go with frozen fat free yogurt. Better yet, go with fruit or light yogurt (like Dannon lite and fit)

Dinner - see suggestions for lunch. Stay away from italian cold cuts. Veggies, turkey, poultry (skinless) are all better choices.

Dessert - fudgesicle (fat free), fruit

And yes, I'm 10% overweight (dislike the word "fat") and don't always eat right even when I know what I should be eating.  : )

I'm not sure I agree with you on your healthier menu here - I think OP probably needs to go farther on this one.  Suggestions:

Breakfast: 1/2 whole wheat bagel with PB (need some protein for breakfast), berries, lots of water

Snack: whole wheat crackers with cheese (no need to eat chocolate in the middle of the morning) - something to sustain your metabolism through lunch and so you're not starving by lunch time

Lunch: large salad with lettuce/veggies, ff dressing and some type of protein (not lunch meat), whole wheat roll or something similar if you need some carbs, lots of water

Snack: plain yogurt cup, maybe with some homemade granola or raisins or something, or some nuts, cup of coffee if you need it

Dinner: rice, veggies, protein - maybe homemade stir-fry or something?

Dessert: a few pieces of dark chocolate

That would be a good switch - lots of delicious food, probably same amount of calories, but significantly less salt and processed crap.[/quote]
