For new moms of kids who are just starting to eat. Who are just gaining weight and cant seem to stop gaining ive figured out a good formula for either losing or not gaining weight.

Unfortunatly as mom your gonna try the food your feeding ypur lil one its hard not to that stuff is so good. Unfortunatly for an adult body it can make you gain a ton of weight. And its gonna continue until their almost done being toddler.

I figured out if i eat what my kiddo doesnt and if im still hungry folllow it up with a salad. Then i dont gain weight. I will also get pacific tomato pepper organic soup from sams club. And i will eat one if the salad wasnt satisfying enough. Your average salad has very little or no calories in it. The main thing that gives you calories is the dressing. So always follow the serving sizes usually 2 tbs unless you like to smother your salad then. Try a home made oil vineger, toasted sesame, something with an oil less calories. Balances it better.

If i dont split a meal with my tot, this is what my meals kind a look like

Bf
Nuttigrain bar or honey vanilla greek yogurt wuth cut up blue berries, green grapes and strswberries

Lunch
Meal salad.
The works mixed greens, fresh lemon juice,  croutons or other crunchy garnish, 2 different types of cut veggies depending on type of salad, cheese, meat, pepper, and other spices. You ca also put pickled veggies on mild or spicy peppers, beets, red cabbage, and dressing.

Dinner

Some type of meat
Small side salad
Fruit

If im not satisfied i always make arugula salads w dressing nothing fancy. Some days i eat 2 at night.

As Ive said in the past " freezer is your bestfriend" however if you dont label things you have mystery meat. I recent forgot to label something and i ended up making mystery meat balls. No clue what it was. However with proper measurements of ingredients you can make nutrious and tasty.

The meat I used (which i later found out was ground turkey)  was white. Now because it was white it couldve been pork or poultry. When ever you are unsure of what the meat is,  use a meat thermometer. Always!!! Because if it clearly is not beef or lamb it must be heated to 180 period. Atleast that is how I feel. But the recipe i have for wtf  do i do with this white ground meat. Is meat balls and they are pretty tasty. Specially when you have something like that in the freezer and its starting to go to waste bc you dont know what it is.

3 eggs
1 lb white ground meat
Medium onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Bread crumbs (or rice if you want gluten free. Use 1-2 eggs for gluten free)

Put meat in a mixing bowl add 1 egg, 1/4 cup bread crumbs. mix thouroghly. *easiest with hands

Puree onion with food processor
Or dice as small as physically possible

Add to meat mix, add 2 more eggs. add bread crumbs if its liquidy mix well, add garlic powder. Make meat balls approx 1-2 inchs big. Pop in the oven at 425* for twenty minutes give or take check internal temp w thermometor before eating. Always!!!!

If you have instant french onion soup you can make that in a pan let it simmer. so it gets a little thick and put over meat balls  like a salsbury steak.

I like too cook spegetti and have spegetti and alfrado sauce on the side. Or my 2 year old likes them cut with a small cup of alfrado sauce for dipping.

You can also serve with buttered egg noodles good for a light healthy meal
