Jackie's Plan 11/1 (More Produce!!!)

[Guest guest]

Okay, if anyone has any critiques before I truly get the day started,

please let me know. I'm trying to get in more produce, so wish me

luck.

7:30am 3 egg whites, 1 whole egg, peppers, onion; grapes

noon (post workout) protein shake, apple

2pm tuna, peas, 2oz WW pasta with low sodium cr. of chicken soup -

just enough to coat it (about 2 Tbsp)

5pm stir-fry beef, peppers, onions, 1/2 c. jasmine rice

7pm turkey breast, grapes

10pm cottage cheese, peaches

And I normally don't go to bed until after midnight.

Are the rice AND pasta too much? I could probably leave the pasta out

of the tuna concoction and have another apple or yogurt or something

instead. Or I could fix a pile of broccoli and leave extra carbs out

of that meal altogether.

Thanks!

That looks good. It's not necessary to cut the rice and pasta out

completely. You should see an improvement by just cutting them back to

one or two meals and increasing the produce. You could always see how

it goes and experiment a little.

Here are a couple of my favorite tuna and chicken lunches that don't

involve bread or pasta. Core an apple and chop it into small pieces.

Stir up the apple with a tuna pouch, light mayo, and a tablespoon of

raisins. Don't barf until you try it. :-) It's really good! You can

make a similar combo with canned (or pouch or fresh) chicken breast,

light mayo, a chopped apple, and a tablespoon of chopped dried

apricots.

Thanks !

I like some really odd combos, so I actually think that sounds pretty

good....even not being overly fond of apples. Maybe I'll put that on

tomorrow's menu.

Thanks again,

Hi Jackie,

I am no expert by any means. However, I think having rice and pasta

in the same day is overdoing the " starchy carbs " . I started on the

17th - after a 4 year break from BFL - and have yet to have bread,

pasta and just had my first thing of rice this weekend.

I would have brocolli, and a piece of fruit instead of the rice.

The pasta I would be careful on as well.

Try eating veggies, veggies and more veggies!!
