I found a gold mine on FitnessMagazine.com when I first started counting my calories. I printed everything out so it's easily accessible and I have a visual reminder of healthy snacks I can eat. When it's not clear, I figured out the exact calories in the snack and listed them beside the picture.
Here are the links:

Healthy Lunches under 400 Calories
There are many more articles with recipes on this site. Good luck!
Also, in response to Jenn's great breakfast recipes, I want to add what I do. I gave up cereal because I find I'm hungry an hour later. Even though I ate healthy-ish cereal with lots of fiber, it was too high in calories and not satisfying (long-term) enough for me. I do better with smaller meals throughout the day. My favorite breakfast is from one of the snack links above. It is the non-fat greek yogurt with 1 T maple syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon. I LOVE this and it keeps me full longer than cereal did. It's gotta be the protein in the greek yogurt. Sometimes I will have the Happy Shake Jenn mentioned or another protein shake for breakfast. I don't like heavy breakfasts- they actually make me feel nauseous. I'm just weird, I'm sure. :)
How did you print them? Did you print each slide or is there a printer friendly version?
ReplyDeleteYou can print the entire slideshow, which is what I did. There's a link to do that, somewhere on the page...
ReplyDeleteYes, if you click on the printer icon, then it gives you the option to "print all slides."
ReplyDeleteAwesome thanks! I love Fitness Magazine. I got it for free from a Jillian video (but I don't think these ideas are in any of the issues I have). I always thought Fitness Magazine would be too hard core for me but it has some really useful information for all levels of fitness.
