Day 27 P1 (with some alternatives)
B: IP peach mango ready made blended with ice, a little water and 2 c raw spinach
L: unlimited with 1/2 c cherry tomatoes, cucumber wedges, 1/2 c raw broccoli,1 boiled egg
midafternoon snack: Quest vanilla drink mix blended with ice, chai tea, and cinnamon

Dessert: IP banana pudding
Just started two weeks ago. Weekends are hardest - because I'm home and tend to eat earlier in the day making me want to eat more in the eve, but here goes:
Friday
B: IP Blueberry Cran Drink Mix, Coffee with a dash of vanilla of whey protein
L: White cheddar ridges over romaine/celery/greens with 1/2T lite goddess dressing (dressing not in plan, I use it as my oil)
D: Ground beef with chopped veg - onion, kale, mushroom. Added chinese seasonings and tamari sauce, on romaine lettuce. It was a bit of an accident, tasted a lot like PF Chang's Lettuce Wraps.
S: IP Vanilla Peanut Protein Bar
Saturday:
B: IP Omelette Fine Herbs n Cheese with extra egg white, sauteed mushrooms, onions peppers
L: IP Rotini (I didn't like the grainy consistency), over sauteed zucchini, onion, mushroom, peppers. Total of veg breakfast and lunch covered the 2 cups.
D: Planning Alaskan Halibut with lemon/dill with big veg side zuchini on top of romaine. Perhaps I'll make a cauliflower mash if motivated, and hungry.
S: Vanilla wafer bar. I snuck a preview taste of the bar. It's ok, I prefer chocolate
Overall I've been very happy with the plan and the products. The only foods I've tried that I don't really like so far are the chicken soup (which I tried on first day and maybe it was just a bit too protein-ey for my first meal), and the rotini, which I found was grainy. I find some of the bars are too sweet, and eating them tends to trigger cravings. However I can't do without the snacks because I just need something tasty to end the day. Will be looking for alternate bars that are similar but maybe less sweet.

Sounds like you re getting a handle on things. I have a suggestion for the chicken soup: I spiralize chayote (peel, seed and all), steam about 3 minutes in microwave, then drain water in my shaker and add a little cold water to keep soup mix from clumping (for a total of 8 oz water), shake well then add to choodles and nuke another minute or two. Add a little garlic and/or onion powder and a dash of red pepper or hot sauce. Really makes a tasty filling lunch! AFA the rotini goes, I use it to make a pasta salad, adding chopped bell pepper, onion, whatever you like, some WF Italian ddressing and italian seasonings to taste. Let marinate over night in fridge. The dressing seems help the texture of the rotini.

I've found the same thing with the rotini. I'm not sure if its the dressing, or letting it rest that makes a difference, but I definitely like it better in a pasta salad. Rinsing it off after cooking may also help to get rid of some of the graininess/starchiness.
