The Healthy Eating Thread

[Doggie07]

I just started dieting and excercising and so far I've lost two pounds in three days. I'm beginning to think I'm losing it too fast. Am I?

My diet consists of:

Fruits
Veggies
Green Tea
Water
Fish
Nuts

Fish is the only meat I need to eat. I need to stop sneaking in pork.
I eat my biggest meal at breakfast and steady decrease it. Breakfast is huge and balanced, Lunch Moderate, and Dinner small.

Ever since I've started this diet, I feel like I have more energy and am tired at night. 2 lbs down, 78 lbs to go!

I need some easy and healthy lunch type of meals. Anyone know some good sites?

I don't have any specific recipes, but I use this cookbook a ton:
Amazon.com: Pillsbury: Fast and Healthy Cookbook: 350 Easy Recipes for Every Day (9780609600856): Pillsbury Company:…
It tells you the calories in all the meals and most don't have a TON of ingredients for each recipe. I would get you some recipes out of it, but I was smart and left it at Ryan's in Minnesota
I generally don't like cookbooks because I tend to find like 3 recipes in them and only use them, but I have made probably half of the recipes in that cookbook and with the exception of 1 or 2, would make them all again.

ETA: There is also an AMAZING and super super easy fruit tart in that book that I now take to all the parties where you bring a dish and it's always a favorite.

ETA v2.0: You can look at the index of the book with a lot of the recipes on that Amazon link.

Kalyn's Kitchen

This has a bunch of Southbeach recipes. I don't follow the Southbeach diet, but there are lots of yummy things on there.

I made tomato and pesto topped Salmon last night for dinner and it was awesome.


I think Saga is going to like my new egg white breakfasts....guess who gets the yolks.

Folks... I think I hit it out of the park tonight. AND it was healthy too.

2.5 cups of cherry tomatoes, quartered. (From our garden tonight.)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh basil, finely diced. (From our garden tonight)
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/8 cup of parsley
3-4 cloves of garlic
1 lb of shrimp

Saute everything except shrimp for about 3 minutes. Put on low heat, cover and simemr for about 15 mins. Stir every 3-4 minutes.

Turn up heat to 3/4's and add shrimp. Saute for about 4 mins (until shrimp are done.) Serve over rice.

It was DANG good. We had that with fresh greeen beans from our garden.

How did my awesome thread end up here?

Can I revive it so as not to throw off other threads? If so...

for those of you who eat a lot of veggies, what percentage of your daily intake is veggies? I am trying to get back on the wagon and I know I need a lot more veggies, but I am trying to figure out how much of them I should be eating a day.
