Heres todays menu: Lunch started at noon, dinner should be around 5 and snack will be at 8. Should leave me good and hungry between. I know I was so hungry before I ate lunch I almost ate the toaster while I was waiting.

Drinking dasani and crystal light today, so i dont go much higher on sodium. (sorry diet coke!) Its going to likely be much easier on the nights the hubby works OT, so I can just focus on eating what I want and not make a family dinner. Ill just feed my LO a healthy meal in smaller version. Im too lazy to cook separate for myself, so I work around it best I can.

Today's menu looks great for you! I just had lunch and had 2 tortilla's rolled up with a little hummus spread on each, some peeled and sliced cucumber and a small apple only partially peeled so I could get some extra fiber from the peel. For dinner I think I will have some zucchini and yellow squash sauteed with a little dijon mustard and a little brown rice. I am trying not to snack at all but may occasionally steal a bite of something my boys are having. I am pretty sure that isnot enough protein but am scared to add anything else as I want to lose weight quickly. Stinkin PCOS!!

I should have added the snacks were basically just me trying to figure out how to raise my potassium haha! I added the fruit and yogurt to lunch, and the veggies for dinner. The popcorn was tonights snack. I try to have 2 bigger sized meals, then a light snack so i can sleep, but my blood sugar drops pretty quickly. Sodium is my biggest downfall. I live for flavor so this is hard for me. I literally gagged down the veggies tonight. Whats a good condiment for them, that wont break the bank?

Have you tried Mrs Dash??

Basalmic vinegar is good also low or no salt stock mixed with low fat philli and a bit of chilli paste. My brother in law swears by a bit of melted butter mixed with lemon juice on almost any veggies

The melted butter/lemon might work... as well as the Mrs Dash. I got some sample packets in the mail I can try. Thank you!

The biscuit sliders kill me with sodium. Its definately hard with the husband home, and I dont want to cook a separate meal, so I think what I'll do is lower the amount of ham/turkey/cheese on 2 of them and call those mine. That would lower the sodium, protein and fat but keep me in the normal range. Id be hovering on the calories, so maybe Ill add a cucumber or something.

Loving todays numbers! Probably will add some lettuce or something of that nature since I kinda forgot the veggies today

Just wondering about pottasium levels- a lot of the food I'm recording on fitness pal is coming up 0%- the only thing I'm getting readings on is fruit or veg. Does that mean they just aren't including the pottasium on a lot of items?

[SurroundedByBoys]

Chances are they arent recording them, I usually click on a couple different link from the same search and look at what seems to be closest. For example, one said there was no potassium in my potato with skin. Since I know it not to be true, I looked until i found one. Sometimes its just better to enter your own info on MFP, since most people there arent tracking potassium.
