I am on a medically supervised diet. It's high-protein, but not extremely low carb like Atkins.
Here are the daily guidelines:
> 60g protein
< 60g carbs
< 30g fat
Try to keep the total calories under 1450.
With that in mind, here's this week's supper menu:
Monday: Turkey Loaf (meatloaf made with ground turkey instead of ground beef)
Tuesday: Crock Pot Roast
Wednesday: BBQ Baked Chicken (sauce is spicy and sweetened with Splenda rather than sugar)
Thursday: Meatless Chili (made with veggie burger crumbles)
Friday: Chicken & Spinach Adobo
Saturday: Blackened Catfish
Sunday: Spicy Grilled Marinated Chicken Breasts
For breakfast I usually have either an omelette made with Egg Beaters - they have mixes now with the veggies already in there, the Southwestern mix is fabulous - or I'll have lowfat/sugar free yogurt and maybe a protein smoothie.
Lunch varies, usually it's leftovers from the night before or something high-protein like tuna.
Snacks: low-fat string cheese, beef/turkey jerky, hummus or low-fat cream cheese on Wasa crackers, small piece of fruit, stuff like that.
The toughest thing for me is finding sources of protein. but I'm slowly getting better at it.
