Walking the Walk: Day 5

Posted on Oct 7th 2008 8:00AM by Bethany Sanders
Day 5: So what does 1500 calories look like? At my house, something like this:

Breakfast:
2 eggs, scrambled with 1/2 red bell pepper -- 230 calories
OR
Oatmeal, milk, and blueberries -- 250 calories

Snack:
Carrots and hummus -- 150 calories
OR
Apple and peanut butter -- 290 calories

Lunch:
7 oz. tuna on a bed of salad greens with a tiny bit of my favorite (sinful) salad dressing -- 290 calories
OR
A frozen low-calorie entree (like Lean Cuisine) with a small side salad -- 450 calories

Snack:
Kashi Pumpkin Spice Flax bar -- 140 calories
OR
A piece of fruit and a small handful of nuts -- 230 calories

Dinner:
Baked salmon with dill sauce, whole wheat couscous, dinner salad with garden veggies -- 600 calories
OR
Homemade pesto on whole wheat pasta -- 500 calories

And if I have calories left over, I enjoy an evening snack!
