Re: Do you make a full meal or

Dinner is usually a protein and vegetables and a salad.  I rarely make pasta, maybe once or twice a month.  I try to incorporate some veggies on the side or in the sauce, along with a salad, with that meal.  We gave up bread at dinner a long time ago.  I still miss it.  Smiley Sad

It varies with us, depending upon mostly how DH's health is.  For a long while, he was not feeling up to eating much, so we just ate small things.  Now, he is feeling some better and he is wanting to eat larger meals - more balanced.  As for me, I'm not for the most part really into the larger meals any more, except for mayabe Sunday or a special occasion.

Re: Do you make a full meal or

I cook dinner 4-5 days a week.  Protein, starch and veggie or salad.  Other days leftovers, or sometimes we graze.  I don't always eat the starch, but SO, he eats several times a day.  I ususally eat one meal, and maybe a cup of soup, or yogurt, or a piece of fruit another time of day.  We eat out 2-3 times a month, maybe sometimes 4.  When I make steak, we usually share one.  He will grill, but I do most of the cooking.

Yes, I make complete meals at dinner time. Breakfast is usually cereal and fruit for DH. I like plain yogurt and fruit. Lunch is generally leftovers from the night before. Today, it will be my version of a bacon and egg McMuffin, and an apple. Tonight, we'll have  a green salad, cheesy potatoes (I'll have cheesy cauliflower) and cube steaks. My DH likes dessert, so that will be a dish of ice cream.

I quit cooking many years ago. I basically eat sandwiches or microwave dinners. About every 3 months or so, I'll make a hamburger.

Not at all.  I live alone and prefer eating whatever my tummy wants that night.

Re: Do you make a full meal or

We eat no carb and dinners consist of a salad (always) protein and vege. I'm very strict with what we consume. I read all ingredients in things I buy. If anything says "bioengineered" I put it back. It's paying off, our latest blood tests are all in the normal range. yay!

Re: Do you make a full meal or

Our biggest meal is lunch, I cook what would be considered dinner food like what other posters have.  We are very early risers (between 4:00 and 5:00) and have breakfast daily - usually bagel, toast, cereal or yogurt fruit smoothie.  Because of the big lunch we don't eat dinner and as of late we enjoy a glass of wine around 5:00, watch  something on Netflix and are in bed by 8:00

Re: Do you make a full meal or

My meals are easy and simple.  For the most part, I have a sandwich or a casserole with a salad or some other vegetable.  If I have a chicken breast or some other protein, I'll have a baked potato and the salad/vegetable.
