In my search to find a plan that works for me, I've devised this one. Two hundred calories for breakfast, three hundred calories for lunch and five hundred for supper. I try for 1500 calories per day which leaves me with 500 calories for all the little extras, which includes snacking at night. I find that 500 calories gives me a lot of leeway, so I don't feel like I'm sacrificing too much. It's great to be able to indulge without feeling guilty.
To make the plan work, I've prepared a list of recipes for breakfast (200 calories), for lunch (300 calories), and for supper (500) calories, and snacks of 100 calories or less. The recipes are not exotic, nor do they rely on food most people wouldn't have in the cupboard.
Here are some breakfast recipes for 200 calories or less. I'll be adding the recipes for lunch, supper in snacks in the very near future, so keep posted, or join below to be notified when the new posts come in.
Cheesy Egg Wraps
Serves 2
1/2 cup egg beaters (60 calories)
1/2 ounce light cheddar grated (35 calories)
salt and pepper to taste
2 whole wheat or flour tortilla (200 calories, 100 calories, each check label)
cooking spray
Spray cooking pan, Add egg beaters, cook on medium until beginning to set, Flip. Add cheddar and cover until set.
Place half of egg and cheddar, on each tortilla. Roll and enjoy! i also like tucking the end in, placing the tortilla on a pan on medium heat until tortilla begins to brown. Yummy!
Traditional Breakfast
Bacon and Eggs
Serves 2
1/2 cup egg beaters (60 calories)
1 slices bacon (34 calories)
4 slices Weight Watcher Bread (100 calories)
1 tsp Becel light margarine (18 calories)
Cook the bacon, and crumble. Cook egg beaters and when almost done, add crumbled bacon. (The taste of bacon goes much further this way. Toast bread. A tsp of light margarine doesn't go very far, so spread very lightly.
