Default My sister's meal plan, since everyone was so helpful on my post :)

Since everyone was so helpful on my last post and had some really good points on making a routine my sister (Michelle) thought that maybe you could help her out.

She's looking to lose a few of those nagging pounds that she gained over the past year of her first year of university. Overall she's not "overweight" but does like to have fun on the weekends (as most 19 year olds do :P).

Michelle doesn't really frequent websites like this very much but here is her current plan based off of some tidbits she's gotten from health magazines:

B - EAS Myoplex Shake (Lite) and some fruit (typically has been a banana). ( ~ 300 calories)

S - Fruit (Pomegranate or a Pear) (~ 100 calories)

L - Very large bowl of soup (a higher calorie, higher protein, lower sodium choice) or a Tuna Salad sandwich (light mayo, lots of veggies). (~ 300 calories)

S - Almonds (~ 160 calories)

D - A protein serving, a cup of veggies, and a cup of rice (or similar portion of another carb like whole wheat pasta or baked potato) (~450 calories)

S - Fruit (1 Cup Grapes, Frozen) (~ 60 calories)

Total - Just short of 1300


We eat supper together most nights so our suppers are very similar, but outside of that we live very different lives so co-ordinating our meals isn't an issue ect. She wanted to note that she, like myself, is going to move away from the premixed shakes but doesn't want to "Freak her system out during exams". She also sips on black all morning, but the calories for that are zip so I didn't include them.

Any advice for her? (I'll be printing this off and giving it to her )

What does she do for exercise?

Her system is not going to "freak out" if she stops drinking fake food. It will celebrate.

Have her put those foods into something like Sparkpeople or Daily Plate so that she can see how much protein, fat, fiber, etc. she's getting on a daily basis.

Also, at college she may have access to a nutritionist for free who could help her come up with a healthy plan and educate her on nutrition in general (education will help her her whole life, more so than just getting instructions from a website.)
