Katie, you've GOTTA have lots more veggies! Keep on drinking your water!!

Welcome to The Beach, Aunt Katie!
As Ellis said, more veggies and some good carbs needed. Try hummus with your veggies. Also, what are butter peas? Are they the kind where you eat the pod? If so, they are OK on Phase I.
Please consult the list in our FAQ section as the food lists in the book are out of date.

Here's a pretty typical menu for me. I'm in Phase 2.

B: 2 egg omlette with a minimum .5 cup of veggies with lf cheese
S: string cheese or celery/cucumbers with hummus
L: large salad with protein (usually shrimp, chicken), GG crackers, berries or other fruit
S: same as other snack usually
D: salad, protein, a large portion of veggies, fruit, ww bread
I have a dessert about 3 times a week. Usually just sf jello or a sf fudgesicle.

I make veggies my main focus and use protein, grains as accent foods I usually roast a huge cookie sheet of veggies at the beginning of the week and have some cold or reheated throughout the week. I love, love, love sauteed cabbage too. Great food, great fiber and very satisfying. I drink lots of water and exercise daily, usually taking it easier on the weekends.
