Post Partum Weight Loss Day #2
Spent today doing light chores, and walking around stores returning small baby gifts, so not much exercise, but breastfeeding supposedly burns 200-500 calories per hour – I give myself 350 calories per day in my software as misc. exercise.
Meal Plan:
Breakfast:
1 cup oatmeal (I made mine with water to use the milk to drink)
1 cup skim milk (I use Silk Enriched Soymilk)
2 Tbsp Walnuts
1 Banana
Snack:
1 Apple (I went with Asian Pear)
Lunch:
Chicken Salad Sandwich (1 cp chopped chicken , 2 tbsp fat free mayo, 1 tbsp onions, 1/4 chopped grapes) on
Whole Grain Bread – (I subbed 5 slices of Tofurky Deli Slices, 1 Tbsp Hummus and Spinach)
1 Cup Baked Chips – (my son ate mine this weekend so I went with 8 Mini Wheat twist Pretzels)
1 Cup Strawberries
1 Cup Skim Milk (I blended the berries into a smoothie with my milk, using frozen berries)
Snack:
6 oz tomato juice
1 oz string cheese
2 rye crisp crackers (the whole snack I subbed with a Mini Smores Luna Bar 80 calories, and 1 square of Barbara’s Wheatines Crackers)
Dinner:
4 oz Pork Loin
1/2 Cup Couscous with 1 tsp olive oil
Spinach Salad – 1 cup spinach, 1/4 cp tomato, 1/4 cp carrots, 1 cooked egg white, 2 tbsp low fat dressing
5 oz red wine – (I don’t drink so no wine -and subbed the whole meal with 1 Helen’s Tofu Steak, 1 Gardenburger Black Ben Patty and a spinach salad with Garlic Expressions. I never got around to making the carb -oh well I had a mini Luna bar at snack).
