Body for LIfers...

What do you eat in a typical day? I need some new ideas.

breakfast - protein shake w/milk
midmorning - fruit & nonfat cottage cheese
lunch - turkey on lite wheat bread
mid afternoon - myoplex lite bar
dinner - chicken or steak with a veg & a carb

Meal 1: 3 egg whites on 1 clice wheat toast
Meal 2: nutrition shake
Meal 3: Chicken breast with brown rice and veggies
Meal 4: 1/2cup Cottage cheese and peice of fruit
Meal 5: Chicken or fish with potato or rice, usually a recipe form the eating for life book
Meal 6: nutrition shake

I find it hard to get all 6 meals in, and you have to be really careful with your portion sizes...

Yeah, I know. This is my third time through BFL and I can never fit in the last meal. It does seem like we're all eating pretty much the same things

#1: 2 egg whites on whole wheat toast or egg whites and bowl oat meal

#2: Balance Bar or Cottage cheese on rice cakes

#3: half tuna, chicken or turkey sandwich with lettuce & tomato and a cup of soup or yogurt (probably too many carbs here)

#4: Other half of sandwich or Balance bar

#5: small steak, chicken breast or piece of fish with rice or potato and veggies (although last night I had pasta with tomato sauce with very lean chopped meat)

I don't like the shakes at all and I try not to eat the Balance bars too much.

I just purchased the book and the cook book last night. You all inspired me to try it. So far I like what I am reading.

My questions -
Where do you all buy the shakes and bar? Prefer a retail/wholesale store.
Do you all use his brand or do you use others that are equivalent?
For those of you who have done it before, how well did you do in the 12 weeks.

I just started too- I like Slim Fast Optima (it's a powder, you mix it with milk). I compared the label to a ready-made Myoplex shake, and the numbers were very similar. I just like the taste of the Slim-Fast (Chocolate Royale). Also I like Balance Bars a lot.

I wish I liked cottage cheese and eggs. I just have a hard time eating things that are 'squishy'.

Seeing what you're all eating has been a big help.

Thank for the info Tracy. Slim Fast is definitely more available than the Myoplex so I am glad to hear the numbers are similar.
