diet questions Diet Answer:
Here is a quick and healthy daily meal plan:


8am:
1 chicken breast (8 ounce), 1 cup of steamed brown rice, 1 small salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

11am:
turkey sandwich with whole wheat bread (8 ounces of lean turkey breast, lettuce, tomato, mustard) (NO cheese or mayo).

2pm:
8 ounces of top round steak, 1 cup of broccoli, 1 cup of non-fat cottage cheese

5pm:
egg white omelet (8 egg whites, mushrooms), 2 pieces of whole wheat toast (NO butter)

8pm:
8 ounces of fish (salmon, catfish, trout, halibut, etc.), 2 cups steamed zucchini, 1 small salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing


The best lean proteins to include in your nutritional plan are:

  • Chicken breast (skin removed)
  • Turkey breast (skin removed)
  • Egg Whites
  • Fish Fillet (flounder, sole, scrod, cod, etc.)
  • Shellfish (clams, lobster, scallop, shrimp)
  • Lean Beef (top round)
  • Tuna (canned in water)
  • Non-fat cottage cheese
  • Beans (black beans, kidney, chick peas or lentils)

The best snacks will be high in protein and low in sugars. Here are some great healthy snack ideas that will give you the results you're looking for:

  • Black beans and tuna
    (Mix a can of each and microwave)

  • Protein powder and non-fat cottage cheese
    (Mix a scoop of protein with a cup of cottage cheese) Its much better than it sounds, trust me.

  • Protein bars
    (Choose one with at least 25 grams of protein, a maximum of 5 grams of sugar and 300 calories. Throw a box in the freezer and they will make a great snack. They're really good for hitting that sweet tooth late at night.

  • Chicken breast salad
    (Before heading to work, mix up a big Tupperware bowl of romaine lettuce, diced chicken breast and some veggies with Walden Farms no-calorie dressing)
