[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 489859, member: 11791"] OK... progress update. 1) He's tried several options for cereal, and has decided that pre-flavored fat-free yogurt works OK. So... keeping an eye out for sales (got some this week but not sure how many weeks between sales...) 2) eggs... we've decided to drop his week-day egg and replace with something else (not sure what yet...), AND drop his "two fried" weekend treat to "one fried"... that counts for 2 eggs a week. And then, while I'll watch out for eggs in other stuff, we will still make our usual treats - for example, carrot cake has 4 eggs... but that's for 16 servings. 3) ice cream... does anybody know if soft-serve is lower fat than regular hard ice cream? For now... he'd rather skip the ice cream at least half the time - and enjoy what he does get (he says that one scoop "gets lost" with whatever else goes with... ) Once I get back to making sorbet again (for me), he can also have some of that. Lemon is particularly good with fruit salad. Lunches are going to be hard(er). His fav is bread and old-fashioned high-fat european cheese. If we switch to wraps for lunch, then we can't have wraps for supper... wraps still include cheese, but its a LOT less than bread-and-cheese. When we have leftovers, he uses those up, but with a teenage male in the house... can't count on leftovers. Any creative lunch ideas that do NOT involve buying pre-made stuff? Remember - no saturated or trans fats, please... [/QUOTE]
