What Do the 50+'s Eat for Dinner
 

Okay,

Let's see what we ate for dinner tonight and how much. Now, tell the truth! It's a good check to make sure we are all eating healthy in our (clears throat) later years...:rolleyes:

Tonight's dinner

grilled steak (2oz)
baked potato (1/4 of a small potato topped with fresh cheddar cheese and Fat Free Sour Cream)
acorn squash (1/4 of large)
salad ( 1/4 cup romain and spinach)

Buuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrppppppppppppppp....man that dinner was really good! :D

Spaghetti
Ceasar salad
Soy milk (chocolate)
Banana

Stuffed peppers and salad...

Yummy...now I am going to have to make another dinner...this is making me hungry all over again :D

German Dinner:
Romano salat with shredded carrots.
Fresh Mixed veggies with olive oil.
Turkey meat in a Reynolds bag.
Boiled Potatoes.
Great Cabernet Sauvignon from California.

Pasta with a red sauce, salad & one non-alcohol beer. Wanted cheescake, but took a deep breath and pushed it away.

Meatloaf (made with Turkey burger) Baked potato, and Baked beans.

turkey and white bean chili with mixed salad.

Two In and Out Cheeseburgers with spread, pickles, and grilled onions....large fries and a large Diet Coke!

Spaghetti light on the sauce, with Turkey meatballs (non-fat).
Special vegtable concoction of wifes= casserole made of spinich, potatoes, squash, some light cheese, and some other stuff, 2 toasted slices of bread (OK- I'll admit White bread).
Plus a small serving of ice cream, & peaches - then de caff coffee 1 cup max.
Actually all quite tastety.

Came in starved from a car trip. Immediately ate bagle. Dinner followed later: tuna salad and mixed veggies green salad wth hot green tea after. Breakfast earlier was mixed grain cereal with peanuts&raisens topped with fresh (uncooked) cranberries.

Grilled salmon, thai noodles, orange juice.

all this healthy food talk if making me ill.....where's my Hefe Weizen? http://www.pacfit.com/goodcut.gif

Splurge night! Chips and salsa, chicken and shrimp fajitas with rice and guacamole, one margarita, and a strawberry-banana low fat smoothie. No pie.

Back on "sensible" diet tomorrow. :)

Scallops alfredo with linguini (Sunday night is usually a splurge night)
carrots
glass of milk
ice cream for dessert

Had a nice glass of homemade elderberry wine while reading the forums

mmmm...great snack..my daughter just made deep fried zucchini!

Ooooooh, that makes me miss the MN State Fair! If it can be deep fried or put on a a stick they have it there. Deep fried snicker bars on a stick! Ooey, gooey yummy!

4 oz. lean beef (flatiron steak) sliced thin and stir-fried with:
1/2 medium yellow onion
1 stalk of celery
1 small Zucchini squash
10-12 fresh Sugar Snap peas

12 oz. Cranberry-Raspberry juice

1 large apple

6 oz. strawberry yogurt

Don't worry, I lied. like the rest of the overweight 50+ers. If the rest of these 50+ers are telling the ruth about what they ate, then they left out the part about the double fudge sundae they had for dessert. :)

Collard greens and yellow rice with lemonade for dinner. But this doesn't include the snacking in the afternoon after riding 110.9 miles - hummus, crackers, carrots and part of a small pesto pizza. It was HOT (upper 80's to 90 F), windy (15 mph with gusts into the 20's), and I was out there helping a couple of 20-somethings do their first century rides.

Chicken salsa verde burrito
Diet coke
love it size Cold Stone sweet cream and berries

Not a typical dinner, but:

3 slices of "light" whole wheat bread (120 calories total)
dipped in "egg beaters" and cooked on teflon skillet with light coating of canola oil
1 thin piece of "turkey ham" also fried in no oil.
A bit of honey and some canola oil spread
1 slice cantaloupe and fresh strawberries
Water

Man that sounds good, but I havent lost 11 pounds eating that way!

half a burger
8 sea scallops (grilled with olive oil, garlic, and jerk seasoning, Mmmmm.)
broccoli
red wine

So I'm thinking about meal plans when I retire (in 10 years). I want to emphasize breakfast more and dinner less. I've experimented with "snacky" dinners already. And my kids now accept olive oil and fresh bread as a valid dinner option. Hmmmm.

Pasta with spinach, garlic bread, Anchor Steam Beer.

Honey mustard pretzel bits!

I was on the homeward leg of a road trip to the in-laws. Had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries for lunch, and a light snack was enough to get home. Breakfast was homemade cinnamon rolls and banana bread (all made with Splenda instead of sugar) with milk and cranberry juice.
