Hi CNC readers! My name is Amanda. My blog is www.twobooswhoeat.blogspot.com
I’m so honored to guest post for Tina. Her blog is actually the first food blog I read. It definitely inspired me to start my own. I’m getting married in July so I’ve been trying to ditch the extra 20 pounds I gained over Christmas break! This post will show you how I’m trying to make my goal.
First things first…I always eat breakfast and I always make sure that it will keep me full until lunch!
A sliced up nectarine.
And some blueberry oats, I add in golden flaxseed and nonfat almond breeze to keep it low calorie but super filling. I’m almost always in a hurry in the morning, so I just make the stovetop oats while my hair iron is heating up. LOL. Lunch is usually something portable enough to eat in my car. Awful, I know. I go to school full-time and work 40 hours a week so I really have no choice!
A whole wheat pita stuffed with hummus, tomatoes, lettuce and grilled chicken.
I usually eat a quick snack between classes and before dinner. I love KIND bars.
Dinner is usually lower in carbs. So something like a lean turkey burger with 1 tbsp of guacamole on a whole wheat bun with roasted veggies works.
This day would amount to about 1400-1600 calories. I use www.sparkpeople.com to track my calories. It’s a great resource! Thanks for having me guest post!

Great guest post. I am a health educator and always here people say we don’t have time to eat healthy, but it isn’t hard, as long as you prepare a little in advance!
Great post! It’s always hard to eat healthy on busy days, but as you show, it doable when you plan.
Thank you for this lovely guest post!
Pita sandwich!! Yum! Thanks for the fantastic guest post
HA check you out! great post =)
Sounds good. I would be starving on that amount of calories, but if it works for you, that’s awesome.
I think I would starve on that number of calories too…especially with only that pita for lunch!
Your “quick” meals are definitely more creative than what I do in a rush! Great post!
Fabulous guest post!!
Great post!! I eat similar but with about 3 more snacks than that! Oh well!
Thanks for letting me guest post Tina!
Great guest post!
Looks great!! I use SP too and I love it!
Thanks for the suggestions. I often use the excuse that I’m too busy when I make poor choices or skip meals!
yummy guest post! the nectarine looks insanely good, it’s 1AM and i want to go out and search for one now!
cute ideas!! Your oatmeal isn’t in a kiddie bowl from IKEA is it??? cause i love using children’s plate/bowls/silverware. Much smaller portions and they come in the cutest colors!!
