I wish I could say its some awesome homemade veggie burger but we use processed patties, like Boca or Morningstar,etc. I defrost them, cut in thirds (pie wedge stlye)and flatten them out to be thin (carefully with your hand) . Saute a little onion in "pam"spray, add the tiny patties for just a bit. Put in sliced biscuit with part of a cheese slice and micro for just a cpl seconds, for that steamy & soft feel.
The Kings Hawaiian rolls really make it seem more like the real thing. They're really soft and just a little sweet.

- half a bag of s&v crisps with garlic hummus
- chickpeas roasted in rice bran oil, garlic and basil

about to eat some cashews, carrot sticks and hummus when my friend gets here for movies.

- oatmeal with apple pie filling. heavy syrup & i cut up the apples into tiny pieces.
- brn rice cerial with vanilla coffee creamer
- two slices wheat bread with peanut butter
- two medium sized bananas
- plain tap water & lots of it - not counting the glasses. it's hot & i have no time or money for purified water, even though my water pipes are old, the bathtub water seems pretty safe. a smell of clorine isn't always a bad thing. if it kills me, i was meant to go that way.
- for lunch, i'm planning refried beans & brn rice. with some ranch dressing

well... homegirl over here gained back 8 lbs and her wardrobe is feeling, a wee bit snug.

so. i'm back on the boxed meals (from home) plan.
tbh, it just feels really productive to make all of them, and it makes it retarded to eat anything other than them. so you have to eat them, and only them. and then magically, you ate really healthily.

i'm trying to always do breakfast, and then a very light lunch, and big dinner. and low carb.
it's what works best for me. and i pick at the same big big plate + bowl of dinner over the course of an hour or two.

AM:
- nonfat greek yogurt w/ raw almonds
- stoneground wheat crackers w/ peanut butter + apple slices
- espresso w/ soy milk + mini almond biscotti

PM1:
- honeydew & cantaloupe
- wheat pita bread slices w/ hummus + cu***ber
- sugar snap peas & celery w/ ****y hummus

PM2 (i always have this):
- large spinach salad w/ dried cherries + vinaigrette (either pear or garlicy-basil).
- 6-8 oz grilled chicken (masala or pesto marinated)
- handful of olives (green or kalamata)

PM2 II (and one of these, which i eat with the chicken):
- raw yellow peppers, cu***ber, broccoli + dijon mustard (for dipping)
- grilled bell peppers, zucchini, and green onions + dijon mustard
- curried lentils
