Also ezekiel bread for some slow digesting carbs :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899211 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 12:04:51 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1899211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like browsing the menus at Once a Month mom. Lots of great options :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899195 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:54:52 +0000 IRunForFun 1899195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A really good breakfast option that I've found is 2 eggs (cooked anyway you like, scrambled, fried, boiled) with half an avocado. Easy and it keeps you full for a while! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899191 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:53:44 +0000 meganmp 1899191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So great! I'm at work, but I'll be back later to respond. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899118 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:10:32 +0000 MrsSCB 1899118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going off of @blackbird's suggestion, I just got the new Skinnytaste cookbook and I LOVE it. The recipes I've made so far have been great and easy, and most of them are brand new (not featured on the website). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899106 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 11:04:18 +0000 Boheme 1899106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also do Fresh20, but my husband can kind of be a curmudgeon about some of the ingredients so I'm also getting an eMeals subscription as a back up. I REALLY hate meal planning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899098 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:59:20 +0000 looch 1899098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am in the exact same boat!</p> <p>One big change that I made is to eliminate my usual breakfast choices and eat something like dinner leftovers for breakfast. A piece of chicken keeps me full longer than anything else, so I eat that for my breakfast.</p> <p>I also make myself a fruit salad or vegetables (cukes, red peppers) with hummus (homemade, no added oil) for my snack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899078 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:47:55 +0000 yoursilverlining 1899078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kinds of meals do you eat now? What sorts of things do you like?</p> <p>For breakfast I do a hard-boiled egg, and some greek yogurt. Maybe a couple slices of turkey bacon.</p> <p>Snacks I eat things like more yogurt, celery and almond butter, nuts and dried or fresh fruit.</p> <p>I like to make big batches of soups and take those to work for lunches; soup is a easy to keep lower carb while still getting protein and lots of veggies. I also LOVE making paleo meatballs and spaghetti squash with sauce for lunches. 1 large spaghetti squash usually is good for me for about 3-4 lunches.</p> <p>Dinners we do a lot of big, flavorful salads with protein (usually fish for me), tacos with no cheese/sour cream/etc and non-fried corn tortillas, roasted veggies and a protein, quinoa salads, taco salad with no shell/chips, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899057 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:37:20 +0000 JennyG 1899057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TemperanceBrennan: We just started the Fresh 20 and I have also lost weight on it. I think just having some new ideas for dinner has helped me get out the rut of eating the same (carb loving) meals over and over. We almost never do all 5 meals, but usually at least 3, most of the time 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899051 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:35:09 +0000 blackbird 1899051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Skinnytaste has a lot of great healthy recipes! I also have a Fresh 20 subscription but I'm opting out for a bit during my pregnancy. </p> <p>I had a lot of success counting macronutrients when I was actively losing the weight I gained with E. i became very aware of how important protein is, and how very little i was actually getting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899027 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:22:58 +0000 TemperanceBrennan 1899027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Fresh 20 would be great for you. I lost weight following it, but it isn't a weight-loss plan. There is almost always leftovers for lunch the next day. </p> <p>There are a few threads on here about it. There are a lot of people (like me) that love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/at-a-loss-for-meal-planning#post-1899024 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 10:19:23 +0000 meganmp 1899024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only way I've ever been able to lose weight is through a carb-restricted diet and exercise. I've been stuck in a loop for the last month of losing the same four pounds over and over again, and I think I need a meal plan overhaul. Anyone have any good suggestions for some breakfasts and/or dinners? I usually take left over dinners for lunch the next day. </p>
