Food Recap - Feb. 19th

Thursday, February 19, 2009

So, today was the first day of my "all Hungry Girl" week. I wrote down breakfast, lunch & dinner recipes that looked interesting, and bought all the ingredients at the the store last night, and so far i LOVE everything, I am so glad my mom got me the cookbook. It's like it's made for me - the food seems like bad food for you - it's not salads, vegetable soup, etc. - it's pizza, BLT's, tuna melts, etc. - the kind of food I love, but all in healthy form! And every recipe is real easy, with a small # of common ingredients; all of these took me less than 10 minutes to make! Here's what I had today:

Breakfast: "Yum-Tastic Breakfast Burrito" - 4 points

1 low-fat tortilla (about 110 calories & at least 6g fiber)

2 slices (1 oz.) turkey bacon or veggie bacon

1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute

1 slice fat-free American cheese

Cook bacon. Set aside.

Pour egg substitute into a pan & scramble over medium heat.

Heat tortilla in the microwave.

Place cheese in the center of the tortilla. Top w/eggs & bacon.

Heat burrito in the microwave for an additional 20 seconds.

Lunch: "Guilt Free 1-2-3 BLT" - 2 points (yes, seriously, only 2 points, isn't that crazy? For those who aren't big into WW, 2 points generally equals 100 calories, this has 140 calories, but since it's low in fat & high in fiber, the points value goes down)

2 slices light bread (40-45 calories each w/2g fiber per slice)

2 slices extra lean turkey bacon or veggie bacon

2 leaves romaine lettuce

2 slices tomato

2 teaspoons fat-free mayo

Dinner: "Mexi-Tato" - 5 points

1 medium baking potato
2 tablespoons fat free liquid non dairy creamer

2 tablespoons shredded fat-free cheddar cheese
1/4 cup canned black beans
1/2 teaspoon taco seasoning mix
2 tablespoons chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped scallions
Optional topping - fat-free sour cream

Pierce potato in several places with a fork. Peel the skin off the top of the potato only. Place potato in microwave and cook for 6-8 minutes (until tender). Wait 2 minutes for it to cool.

Gently remove all the pulp from the potato and place it in a microwave-safe dish. Set the empty shell aside. Add the creamer, cheese, taco seasoning, salt & pepper to the potato pulp and stir. Microwave mixture for 45 seconds.

Heat black beans in the microwave.

Place the cheesy potato mixture in the potato shell and then top with half of the black beans. Top w/tomatoes and scallion and if desired sour cream.



Snacks: Goldfish - 3 points



So, somehow, after eating all that food, it's only 14 points (approx. 700 calories)!! - and I am really not hungry right now. I've got 11 points left for the day, and probably will have some kind of little snack, but since this stuff was so low in calories, I can totally do that and still be fine!
