For Kimiko (and others who want to know)

Prism Meal Ideas:

With a 1300 calorie day, I try to divide it like so:


Breakfast: 250-300
Lunch: 350-400
Snack: 100-150
Dinner: 500-600

I do not eat after 8:00 PM.

If I am working out, I try to add another snack in there.

***************************************************************

Breakfast

Multi-grain hot cereal (trader joes, fred meyer) 130
Currants, 1 T 30
Raw honey, 1 t 21
2% milk, ½ c. 60
Pistachios, 10 34

Total as written: 275

Lower cal version (substitute Splenda for honey and 1% milk for 2%)
244

***************************************************************

2 whole eggs, any style 140
1 toast with simply fruit jelly, 1 T 140-164(depending on bread)

Total: 280-304

***************************************************************

Cherrios, 1c. 110
2% milk 60
Splenda or honey 0-21
½ banana 55

Total: 225-246

***************************************************************

Rice cake 35
Peanut butter, 1T 100
½ banana 55

Total: 190

***************************************************************

2 eggs, fried with spray oil 140
2T grated Cheese 58
Salsa 5

Total: 203

***************************************************************

Lunch/Dinner

1 rice cake 35
Turkey lunch meat 60
Mustard (honey or Dijon) 10

1 C. of soup (Healthy Choice chicken and rice) 180

Handful of veggies (carrots, sugar snap peas) 40

Total: 325

***************************************************************

Grilled Chicken salad

Pre-grilled frozen chicken strips, 3 oz. 110
Greens
Tomatoes
Carrot shreds
Onions (I just count 50-60 cal for all veggies)
Bacos, 1 T 30
Black Beans, 1/8 c. 40
1T Shredded cheese 28
Newman’s Own Light Honey Mustard, 2 T. 70


Total: 338
Or…to make above salad like my favorite salad at RR, I use 2 T. of Gregg’s Ranch Dressing (140) and 1 T. of BBQ sauce (50). I usually reserve this for dinner, as it is higher in calories, or if I have had a smaller breakfast.

Total as RR salad 468

***************************************************************

Two corn tortillas(phase 2 and beyond) 110
Pre-grilled chicken, 3 oz. 110

Chicken breast grilled, 3 oz. 100
Melted cheese, 2 T. 56

(Cook chicken and melt cheese first, then put on cold rice cake and guac. Heating rice cake changes it to a chewy consistency I don’t care for.)

Thanks for posting this. There are some really great meal ideas in there, and it comes at the perfect time for me because I'm writing a couple of week long menus that I can follow and make sure I have the food on hand so I have no excuses.

Thanks for the ideas Kimi. That was quite a bit of typing. : )Isn't it empowering though to plan out in advance?
