The "f/f cheese slices" that you reference .... what are they? Are you referring to the 45-50 calorie/slice processed cheese slices? Those turkey burgers are pretty good. Just finished a package of them. I put them on weight watcher's whole wheat bread slices ... 90 calories per two slices. RCE 260/222/185 >> Apart from my usual run, spent a lazy day at home. (It's fun being >> retired :-).) [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > >260/222/185 Sorry -- f/f stands for "fat-free" -- from Kraft. They're 30 calories per slice. Obviously not as tasty as real cheese, but I like them (obviously :-)). They're a great source of calcium and protein -- downside is that they're sort of high in sodium, particularly in the quantities I consume. Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 Is there a particular brand of whole wheat buns you use for your turkey burgers? Most of the ones I've seen are quite high in sugar. Thank you. By the way, I love your daily lunch menu. I have now made it mine, also. lol -- Sue >Is there a particular brand of whole wheat buns you use for your turkey >burgers? Most of the ones I've seen are quite high in sugar. Thank >you. > >By the way, I love your daily lunch menu. I have now made it mine, >also. lol -- Sue The buns I use are Trader Joe's brand -- 110 calories with 1 gram of sugar. Others I've seen in supermarkets are a fair bit higher in calories -- and also larger, I think. These taste good and are big enough to hold the burgers :-).

Trader Joe's rules this earth. :) I love that store. <3 Great! Thanks for the information. We have a very large Trader Joe's here in Vegas...only a few miles away from the house...so I'll check out the whole wheat buns next time I'm there. I bought the "Roman Meal" whole wheat buns...they have 3 grams of sugar...and are very tasty, but I'd be happier with less sugar. -- I read most of your posts and am trying your way of eating. I basically do the same breakfast and lunch as you (also, same every day) and vary my dinners a bit. I'm learning a lot by reading the posts (at least most) in this group. Keep 'em coming. lol -- Sue >Great! Thanks for the information.

I'm learning a lot by reading the posts (at least >most) in this group. Keep 'em coming. lol -- Sue Gee, I'm not really trying to advocate others eating as I do. It's just what I like :-). Lots of people would hate eating the same things so often, but I'm not much into food preparation and it's easier to just have something that I know I enjoy and have on hand. I do think a diet that's farily high in lean protein -- which mine is -- helps with weight loss and maintenance. Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 Hey...I understand completely....but, I, too, find it much easier to stick with the same basic meal plans for several weeks at a time. Others might find this very mundane...boring...but it works for me --- and, obviously, for you. The less I have to think about meal planning and preparation, the better I do. Otherwise, I'm constantly thinking of food.....and making myself hungry! lol I realize you are NOT "pushing" this way of eating....it just happens to appeal to me, too. -- Sue > >Great!

I couldn't go without eating more veggies, for example, but it works great for you! :) Lots of people would hate eating the same > things so often, but I'm not much into food preparation and it's > easier to just have something that I know I enjoy and have on hand.
