I haven't eaten meat in almost 6 months now.... But I'll tell you, vegetarian isn't that bad! I LOVE veggies!
I took took tortillas and spread a little bit of retried beans (fat free) on them, covered it in diced poblano peppers, onions, tomatoes & jalepenos and topped with reduced fat cheese and baked until crisp.
Amazing with fresh salsa!

I ate almost exclusively veg too - I did add a serving of meat per week by the end though. Had to break out all the stops for TTC this month.

I shared this elsewhere too, but here's a typical kind of day for me now:
Lunch at 1: a small piece of baked sole with lemon juice and bread crumbs, a medium baked potato with nonfat sour cream (inside only, no skin), small salad with lettuce, 1 tbsp cheese, oil and croutons, and a white roll. Water to drink.

Dinner at 6: 2 slices of turkey bacon on white toast with 2 leaves of iceberg lettuce and a little real mayo. A cup of tomato soup on the side. A can of Mountain Dew.
No snacks, breakfast or other drinks (other than water). 1403 calories, 45g of protein and 49g fat.
I would typically also have a drink or sweet to get over 1500 calories but that day I was on the go all day.

Today I had 7 McDonald's nuggets, half a medium fry, a 6 oz serving of vegetable lo mein and a can of mt dew for lunch. Dinner was a bowl of Campbell's potato soup made with 1% milk with a piece of turkey bacon crumbled in, 2 pieces of buttered toast, and 4 pieces of cherry Laffy Taffy. That was 1430 calories, 41g protein and 57g fat. I'll probably have a glass of skinny girl moscato tonight, which is another 120 calories.

I couldn't do veg if I tried. It's enough of a stretch for me to switch to fish and chicken from my very red meat lifestyle that got me my boys. Before starting the diet I ate huge meals with meat as the main dish twice a day and drank 3-4 cans of Mountain Dew. I estimate I was eating 2500-2800 calories a day easily. So this is a BIG change for me.

I've noticed this thread has died down a bit but I think we should keep it going since I think it's good motivation and it gives us meal ideas.

Today so far I've only had lunch. It was white rice spaghetti w/ sautéed (in water) white mushrooms and a sauce of balsamic vinegar, brown mustard, and a splash of white wine. It was DELISH. I also had a homemade spice cookie, half a banana, and half a peeled apple (shared the other half with the boys). For dinner we're having black bean burgers and homemade oven fries. Yum!

Just had lunch. It was a cucumber sandwich ( a few slices of cucumber peeled and diced up with some light laughing cow swiss cheese spread between two slices of bread), a serving of whole wheat spaghetti, a splash of tomato pasta sauce, a sprinkle of 2% cheddar cheese, a Morningstar brand vegetarian "chicken" patty, and a diet coke. 92 g carbs, 14 g fat, 32 g protein, 645 cal. Went over a bit on sodium. :-/

Today was a remarkably good day for me after starting out looking like it would be awful--

My mom came and took the boys and I out to lunch, and my oldest picked Pizza Hut... Oh no.
But my diet held! I had:
Lunch- 2 slices of thin crust chicken supreme pizza with light sauce and no mushrooms. A single breadstick. 3/4 cup chicken Alfredo pasta. Diet dr pepper to drink.

Dinner- BLT (2 slices low sodium turkey bacon, 1 tbsp mayo, lots of lettuce between two pieces of white toast). And a half cup of buttered white rice with a little salt. I had a Mountain Dew to drink. Then I had a chocolate chip cookie. I was going to eat half but my youngest refused the other half, lol.
Going to go make a crystal light with vodka here in a bit.

Totals: 1610 calories, 48g protein, 58g fat.

Hey ladies, back after a break from the site. I was super focused on what I was eating so had a bit of a cheat and stayed away. I kept a small food diary but didn't enter into MFP cause I was being more laid back. I entered most of the info into MFP yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to be within the upper limits of the LE!! And that was while I thought I was cheating!!

So yesterday I had about 70g of white penne pasta with a little bit of pasta bake tomato based sauce on it, two small slices of whole wheat bread with full fat butter (no low fat stuff left and not buying more as we fly out to Florida for over 2 weeks this weekend) I had a coffee and 4 plain digestive wheat biscuits afterwards. I normally wouldn't eat them but I needed something sweet with my coffee as a treat and they were all that I could find in my fairly bare cupboards lol.
Dinner was actually a cheat! My friend turned up at my door with her kids and takeaway hot chips! I had about 150g of chips and a slice of homemade pizza with low fat cheese, onions, peppers and a teeny tiny bit of sausage meat. Had a diet coke to drink.
Totals for the day: cals 1732, fat 65g, protein 36g
High on fat but considering the hot chips I don't think it's bad overall at all.

My usual day goes like this:
BRUNCH - after a 15+ hour fast. Coffee with 2 slices white toast, low fat cream cheese and sugar free jam. Some kind of breakfast pastry once it doesn't have more than 9-10g fat content total!
DINNER - I eat the same dinners over and over again.
Homemade Chinese 3 in 1 - 100g white rice, 100g low fat oven bake fries and store bought sachet of curry sauce. Cals 570. Fat 10.8g. Protein 10.4g. (I might add some veg into the sauce if I know I have the extra leeway)
Turkey bacon, lettuce and tomato on ciabatta with extra light mayo and 150g baked fries. 580 cals. Fat 17.4g. Protein 23.5g.
100g pasta, Dolmio pouch sauce 150g, some light cheese on top and 2 garlic bread toasties. Cals 697. Fat 15.4g. Protein 23.9g.
Other days I will have some steamed salad potatoes without their skins, cauliflower and broccoli and a small serving of chicken, no bigger than a cup full. I basically alternate between those dinners unless we eat out. If we eat out I usually order shrimp and loads of veggies.

You're doing great hopper! Did you ever calculate what your old diet was like? I bet even a cheat day ok le looks way better!

I found another really filling good lunch option today--
15 baked shrimp poppers, 10 sweet potato fries(also baked), a slice of white toast with a little margarine and strawberry jam, and a can of Mountain Dew. Totals: 520 calories, 11g protein and 13g fat.

I had a "no tracking, eat whatever I want" weekend the past two days, as I had a wedding Saturday and my inlaws came to visit yesterday and insisted on taking us out for brunch and dinner. Just a ballpark estimate though, I probably had 90-100g of protein, 150+g fat and 2500-2800 calories each day. It was so nice to be truly full for a day or two though, haha.
