[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For breakfast, I usually eat 2-4 egg whites on a bagel thin or whole grain tortilla, maybe add a piece of turkey bacon or low fat cheese.  Keeps breakfast [b]under 250 calories.[/b][/quote]
[quote=Quote 2]* Breakfast: 1/4 cup steel cut oatmeal, dried strawberries, 1 tbsp pb, blueberries - [b]320 calories[/b] [/quote]

I find that even this amount (250-320) is a lot for breakfast. I've lost 14 lbs in the last 2 months by adjusting my eating habits.  I used to have one of the Jimmy Dean D-Lite Turkey Sausage muffins (260 calories).  I have switched to having Quaker Oats Lower Sugar Oatmeal (120 calories) and a large Iced Tea or water.  I make sure to have at least 12 oz of liquid first, then wait a few minutes and then have the oatmeal.  Between the water and the oatmeal, I feel full and at only 120 calories, it gives me more flexibility in what I can eat  for lunch, dinner and snack.

Also, once or twice a week, I treat myself to Panera where they have a new Spinach Power Salad and French Onion Soup U-Pick-2 lunch combo that comes in around 500 calories (including apple).  It's on the high side, but I've actually found that it fills me up a lot more than many soup & salad combos.  You can cut it to 400 calories by switching the French Onion soup to the Garden Vegetable Soup with Pesto.
