I LOVE PB, thats awesome. I am getting really tired of my Fajitas/ chicken and steak I have been eating, so I think I am going to have to change it.

I might start doing chicken enchiladas using whole wheat tortillas for lunch. should I keep cheese to a minimum and use more tomato sauce? any recommendations for that?

lol... I do the same. I get mad at myself cause there are carbs in peanut butter.

 

[z28stud97]

yes, but theres not a lot I dont think. Some protein, and healthy fats.

someone read my enchilada post 2 posts up and let me know!!!

If you have an option between flour(wheat) or corn use corn. Besides, speaking a Mexican here, enchiladas don't work with flour tortillas. If you are going to use cheese, keep to reduced fat cheddar. I would also use enchilada sauce as well- tomato sauce won't taste all that good. I would also boil by own chicken and shred, but if you can't, then you can use the pre-shredded chicken, only watch out for the sodium(washing the chicken will help).
You can actually make these before hand as well.

Yes- the food can get monotonous, but you can use spices and condiments, to change the profile- add lime juice to the chicken fajitas, add some cilantro, no salt seasoning, some salsa- you have a lot of options.

so funny MMX2 with the enchiladas my mom said the same thing about boiling the chicken and using the enchilada sauce. I have everything prepared when I get home this weekend. I just need to go buy some low fat cheese ad corn tortillas. I am very excited to try this new recipe. I was also thinking about stuffing them with brown rice as well, but that might just be extra carbs. I will probably load them up with chicken!!!

thanks

Don't really need the rice- focus on the chicken as the primary food source.
Let me know how it turns out.

will do. what do you think about rice cakes with peanut butter on them and a can of tuna for a snack.

 

[z28stud97]

I am not worried at all about sodium intake. So i might hold a little extra water, no big deal for me. So please factor that out as well.

I think rice cakes are fine- plain if your going to do w/peanut butter. I know you are not worried about sodium, however, choose the regular peanut butter vs. the reduced fat version- the regular has less sodium.

yea, i use the regular. I am just tired of eating the same stuff for the last 2 months. So im changing things up quite a bit. Now were looking at

meal 1 = 1 cup egg beaters 2 slices whole wheal toast w/ small amt of ketchup
meal 2 - chicken enchilada on corn tortilla or 2
meal 3 - can of tuna and triscuts or roast beef sandwich on whole wheat bread
meal 4- Myoplex shake or roast beef sandwish on whole wheat bread or chicken enchilada
meal 5- Myoplex shake or roast beef sandwich on whole wheat
meal 6- before bed 1/2-1 can of tuna, 1 rice cake w/ peanut butter on it.
