My points in a nutshell

so regarding how i do my points...I don;t plan out all my meals for the whole day down tot he exact points, but usually have some idea of what I plan to eat as I need to prepare my school lunches etc b4 i leave for work...basically I try and pick from 1 of 4 different things for breakfast and lunch..and when I get bored i find a new thing to rotate in...keeping the choices smaller helps with groceries and less time preparing and thinking about it
breakfasts are about 3-5 pts
yummy but high fiber cereal
oatmeal
whole wheat high fiber eng muffin with a little pb
Luna bar (if in a hurry)
lunch try to keep to about 10-12:
sandwich mostly with some baked chips and fruit
soup
salad
or leftovers
dinner: don't really count exactly...just try to eat a bit less than I used to...and make trade offs, if i drink a beer than i get less tortilla chips and salsa etc...i figure most of my dinners are about 15 points, but really estimate them...I just look for whole wheat noodles/rice and lean meats to eat and more veggies
snacks: try to limit them to when i am actually hungry in between meals or in eve
fruit
Luna bars
skinny cow ice cream sandwiches
micro kettle korn smart pop popcorn
