I'm definitely on a muffin kick lately. It's just so easy - the serving size is there for you already. If I make bread, then I run the great risk of thinking, "Oh, I can just take another little sliver." Plus you can put lots of good stuff in them. Today I made zucchini muffins. They were okay, but not great. Riley loves them though, which is good since they are full of zucchini! I even made it healthier by replacing the oil in the recipe w/apple sauce which apparently is a common substitute. Who knew?
I also found that if I spend time in the kitchen cooking/baking, then I eat less. I guess if I'm just around the food then I'm happy. It also helps when I get myself out of the house, which is why I'm always outside with Riley or taking her to the library (as I did today) or to the store.
For breakfast1 high fiber oatmeal (160 calories; 3 points)

For lunch
1 bowl of cheerios w/skim milk (140 calories; 3 points)
For dinner
1 broccoli and cheese stuffed chicken (175 calories; 3 points)
* I don't really know how much this is worth calorie-wise, but it's around 3 points for the meal, so I estimated off of that.
1/2 serving of steamed broccoli (25 calories; 0 points)

Snacks
1 diet hot chocolate (25 calories; 0 points)
1 Smart Ones Peanut Butter cup sundae (170 calories; 3 points)

* I'm going to try these again with a new recipe.
So for today it's roughly:
