When trying to maintain a whole foods diet, eating out and convenience foods are usually ruled out. That means it is time for you to get in front of a stove. Some good choices for breakfast are quick cooking oats(not the kind in the envelope, the kind in the canister), high fiber cereal with skim or soy milk or an egg white omelet. Some lunch ideas are a turkey bacon BLT with light mayo on whole grain bread, tuna salad with whole grain crackers, or minestrone soup and a garden salad with grilled chicken. For dinner you can try recipes like broiled fish over brown rice with steamed veggies, bell peppers stuffed with chopped veggies, chopped chicken and low-fat cheese or veggie pizza on a thin, whole-wheat crust. Now at first glance these recipe choices might seem pretty bland, but this is your chance to get creative with flavors. Herbs and spices are a great way to add taste with little or no calories. Add some cinnamon to your oatmeal. Throw some spinach and mushrooms in your omelet or spice up fish and meats with lemon juice and garlic.
A diagnosis of diabetes presents a unique opportunity to shift your diet and lifestyle choices in a positive direction. Hope this helps. Good luck

Other ideas: Snacks: Hard boiled eggs, a handful of any nut you like, tempeh or chicken or shrimp skewers w/ peanut butter (sate) sauce (sate sauce-make your own to eliminate the sugar found in prepared versions of this sauce), a bowl of any soup you like that is under 30g of carbs per serving, preferably homemade, like lentil or minestrone or white bean, tomatoes or snow peas or steamed baby vegetables stuffed with crab, chicken, turkey or tofu salad, Cream of Carrot Soup w/ Cumin, Orange and Fennel; Triscuits with hummus and veggies (Pay attention to the serving size here, and the carbs, and FOLLOW it!), tons of raw or lightly steamed veggies and a delicious spinach/water chestnutyogurt or onion dip. As much Spicy V-8 Juice as you like; Low Carb Smoothies; An (as in one!) English muffin pizza, preferably homemade pizza sauce on a whole wheat English muffin w/ cheese and LOTS of sauteed veggies; You can have as much Salad Caprese as you like: Fresh Tomatoes, Fresh Mozzarella Cheese, Some Red Onion sliced thinly, some cucumbers, if you like, and freshly made pesto all over it!!!! Greek Salad is absolutely fabulous for you, too! Dinners: Turkey Meatloaf w/ Mushroom Gravy, steamed broccoli, cauliflower and baby carrots and some kind of starch, or you could forget the starch, and have a huge salad instead...; Caesar Salad w/ Grilled Chicken; Cobb Salad, but either use Turkey Bacon, or forget the Bacon all together; Steak or Chicken Fajitas; Baked Haddock (no crumbs, but as much lemon, garlic, spices and butter as you like), Curried Yams w/ Garlic, Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper (Yams and sweet potatoes are a much better food choice for a diabetic than are white potatoes.), Stir-Fried Veggies (as much as you like) or steamed carrots w/ butter (a little bit) and fresh parsley (lots!); shrimp or chicken/broccoli/red peppers over brown rice or any other whole grain you like (but in moderation!); Desserts: A baked apple, stuffed w/ cinnamon or other warming spices, raisins and walnuts, w/ a drizzle of butter on it. Fresh strawberries or other healthy fresh fruits, dipped in sugar free chocolate sauce, and sugar free whipped cream...YUM!!!
