I have had days where I felt very burnt out, but usually it was more because of my complacency in searching for and trying new things, rather than my limitations. My diet also got better when I started eating tofu. I thought it would be gross, but it wasn't, and our family (all born meat & potato types) actually loves it. I eat fish, chicken breast, tofu/soy meats, and egg whites. Here's a sample of what I normally eat...
Breakfast - for me it's always either a bowl of oatmeal, a Thomas bagel (plain or cinnamon swirl - no raisins), or Dr Oetker's Oatmeal Muffins & egg whites. I have also eaten some GimmeLean soy sausage with my eggs and muffins a few times, and it was pretty good (you can definitely tell it isn't real pork, but it's not a bad flavor). I have never been a big breakfast eater, so I don't mind having the same things all the time for this meal.
Lunch:
Most days I try to cook enough dinner for me to eat leftovers the following day. If not, I eat one of the following:
* Amy's ABC veggie soup and French bread
* Stir-Fry Tofu (drained and cut in small cubes and cooked in soy sauce) with rice or pasta
* Amy's Soy Cheeze pizza. I take off most of the cheeze due to the fat content, but it's still yummy.
* Boar's Head deli chicken sandwich and safe chips
Dinners:
* Breakfast food - I make my egg whites and muffins, and I make regular eggs, bacon, & biscuits for everyone else.
* Beef night - I like to make a beef dish for the guys once a week, and on those nights I usually make safe side dishes, and I eat tuna or bake a salmon filet for myself.
* Salmon patties with green beans and potatoes or rice or pasta
* Baked potato soup - A new favorite of ours!! I found a DELICIOUS and safe recipe in the recipe index. I also make grilled cheese sandwiches and salads for the boys. I just pig out on the yummy soup!
* Stir-fry (could be chicken, shrimp, or tofu). I cook the veggies (carrots, zucchini, etc.) and meat and add some soy sauce. Served with white rice. Hubby adds his own hot sauce.
* Crockpot chicken & rice - saw a yummy recipe for this, but haven't tried it yet. Seems like an easy and yummy safe meal, though. Would be good with any veggie you like.
* Taco night - I use GimmeLean fat free soy "beef" and add my homemade taco seasoning (from the recipe index). Served with tortillas (or taco shells and normal taco fixings for hubby). I just eat mine plain, and it's fine for me. Baked Tostitos and Amy's Mild Salsa. A family favorite for sure!!
* Spaghetti - I use Amy's Family Marinara and add tofu (drained and cut into small cubes). I try to eat more tofu than red sauce, and I pile on the pasta! French bread is good with this, too.
* My veggie soup - I posted a recipe in the recipe index a while back for Lots O Veggies Soup.
Eating Out:
*Seafood - I love to get crab legs, grilled shrimp, grilled salmon, broiled tilapia, etc. I order them plain with NO BUTTER, and I get a plain baked potato or plain noodles or whatever safe side item they have.
* Grilled chicken and pasta - again I order it plain with no butter, oil, seasoning, etc.
* Pizza - I found a gourmet pizza place that has safe pizza dough and offers soy cheese, so I can get that for my pizza fix (very light on the cheese - remember fat content!).
*Mexican - Chicken fajitas with rice. I had to really hunt to find a couple of safe Mexican restaurants. Some places sent me running in minutes, but after some trial and error I found one that is not greasy, and I'm able to eat lots of yummy food with no ill effects at all.
* Pretzels - this is a fun treat at the mall. Auntie Anne's and Wetzel's Pretzels are both safe, if you have them bake a fresh one for you with NO BUTTER. I like to get cinnamon sugar on mine.
