Calorie Countdown - Thirsty Thursday, what are you eating?

Ok ladies and gents, here we go with another day of food decisions.  Yipee. I ate more on Wed, yay! I also got a little exercise in.  B - coffee, 8oz mootopia, ice, benefiber, sf syrup and fiber one yogurt B - changed to 1 package kashi heart to heart apple cinnamon oatmeal, 6oz mootopia, and 1 pat of putter (12g sugar and I dumped mildly) L - 3oz grilled lemon pepper salmon with 1 serving lemon soaked edamame D - 2 grilled chicken tenderloins, 1/2 red bell pepper, 1/2 cup pinto beans and 1/2 cup rotel S - fiber one bar S - changed to fiber one yogurt Calories - 924 Fat - 28g Carbs - 93g Fiber - 27g Protein - 72g Exercise - 3 miles on treadmill (approx 600 calories)

Yeah on both counts - good food day, good exercise day.  Nice.  Keep up the great work.  Hopefully Thundercles will be cooperative in that regard!   Here's my plan for Thursday - not sure about nutrition information, as I'm having lunch at Stir Crazy and they do not offer nutrition info for their food.  So I'm making an educated guess about the nutriion info for lunch:

Pre B - SF NF Eggnog Latte B - ham, cheese, triscuits  S - Greek yogurt w/fresh blackberries and Kays Naturals cereal added in L - either turkey meatball/ veggie soup or meatcrust pizza, brought in both because I couldn't decide this morning. S - turkey jerky, fruit biscuits D - chicken and veggies S - ?

How do you make meatcrust pizza?  My husband might really like that. 

I don't have the recipe with me, but I'll give it a stab -  I use a really lean ground beef, and add 4 eggs to it, then anything I would for lets say a meatloaf. I try to get it to that type of consistancy. The more eggs add more protein and make it easier to press out. I'll put in about 20 stoned wheat crackers (run through the processor) in place of bread crumbs. Celery, onions, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and salt and pepper. Press this into a cookie sheet or pizza pan. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes, or until browned. I top with 1 jar Trader Joe's marinara sauce, and whatever else I feel like - usually bell pepper, onion, 1 can drained tomatoes. You can use any of your favorite pizza toppings.  Turkey pepperoni is good too. I cover it with cheese, I like an Italian blend. Then bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, I like to brown it up by placing it under the broiler for the last few minues. Freezes very well. As with everything else I freeze it in individual portions and take for lunches. I'll see if I can find you the actual recipe and if so I'll post it.

Here's Pk's recipe - Meat Crust Pizza Meat crust pizza is identical to regular pizza except for the crust. Top the pizza with high protein foods for extra nutritional kick :) Crust Ingredients: 2 cups raw extra lean ground beef 4 whipped eggs 1 cup fiber one cereal (cru**** in the blender/MB after measuring) Mix this to a paste consistency and pat tightly into a 15 x 10" baking pan. The crust should be very thin. Pat it as tightly as you can to keep it from shrinking in the oven, if you use less than extra lean ground it will likely shrink some. Bake this in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes or until brown. Take out and top pizza style, mexican style or donair style. Bake again (or broil) for 10 minutes, or until toppings are to your liking :)
