Nutrition game similar to 'Splended Table' OPB Saturdays

I am insulin dependent and eat maintenance.

That is a specific number of grams of fiber, carbs, calories, cholesterol, salt, protein, fats, iron and calcium. (refer to May 6 on this blog)

On Sunday between 6p and 7p, OPB radio airs The Splended Table.(Splendid Table Lynne Rossetto Kasper hosts this culinary, culture and lifestyle program that celebrates food and its ability to touch the lives and feed the souls of everyone.)

Sense I run out of daily menus for myself, I thought I could get some contributions for daily menus by playing a similar type 'game'. Instead of being given five free things and a limited number of items from the refrigerator and cupboard, you would be given 25-40 grams of fiber, 304 grams of carbs, 2,000 calories, under 1,500 grams of sodium, not more than 50 grams of calcium, 60 grams of fat-20 grams of saturated fat or less, 8mg of iron (for a woman over 50), 1200mg calcium for a woman my age-check with post May 6 and less than 300mg of cholesterol.

For example I begin my day with:

2 med. apples + one pint berries

lunch:

1 quart milk, 1 percent or nonfat=1200mg. calcium
about 400 calories
36gr. protein
32gr.carbs(?)

excess fruit from breakfast


dinner:

2 or 3cups vegetables saute'd or steamed
about 400 calories if saute'd in canola oil, or olive oil

I usually get 'lost' in my protein and my fiber. Eating too much protein and eating not enough fiber.

I keep bread and butter, oatmeal or pasta, as add-in or back up for when I get hungry.

I do not eat 3oz. fish or chicken when I drink my 1 quart of milk because of excess protein.
