I know there are some other sections on these forums dedicated to food and recipes, but I was thinking more along the lines of daily meal plans. I figured it might help some of the new people figure out what to eat and offer any of us ideas on how to switch things up. I admit I'm not perfect every day, but I do pretty good during the week at sticking to my calorie range and macronutrients (I use sparkpeople to track). I also just really love cooking and coming up with creative new ideas, and I have a food blog I'd be willing to share.
Anyway, I'll start, and if you are interested, feel free to join in! I will try to continue it if there seems to be a good response.
Today is a non-workout day for me.

D:
Portobello Black Bean burger on an Arnold sandwich thin with 1/4 of an avocado, butternut squash "fries" dipped in tahini-yogurt sauce
