  • Happy Monday!

    B: oatmeal with cherries, wheat germ, milk, almonds; coffee with milk
    S: orange, black tea
    L: quinoa with an Indian-spiced eggplant/tomato/garlic/onion puree on top
    D: sushi, spring rolls
    S: burrito

    9 so far? Did I count correctly?
  • Hi guys,
    This is my third day on the whole foods lifestyle, i plan on getting the SUPERFOODS RX book today but so far everything i have learned is from this board. Im really excited about this WOE.......here's what i plan on having today:

    Breakfast: Oatmeal pancakes with blueberries
    Lunch: Sliced turkey and tomato on whole grain toast
    Dinner: Turkey chilli (pinto beans, turkey, can tomato, spinach, chili seasoning, onion, garlic)
    Snacks: Apple, yogurt, Kashi Honey Almond Flax Bar, Tea
  • hmm... super foods huh....I will have to check this out!!!
  • Turkey Chili sounds good, I might have to make that. Although I guess I make quasi chili as I have found adding a can of diced tomatoes in with 2 different types of beans and some chile powder, onions and garlic is really good.

    Breakfast: ultimate meal powder (sf) with unsweetened soy milk (sf), banana and blueberries (sf)

    Lunch: brown rice (sf), 2 kinds of beans (2 sf) with tomatoes (sf), onions (sf) and garlic (sf), eggplant and green bell peppers.

    Snack: yogurt (sf) with cottage cheese and strawberries (sf)

    Snack: carrots (sf) with hummus (sf)

    Dinner: (not 100% sure yet) wild salmon (sf) with brown rice (sf) and zucchini. Will also probably have leftover beans (2 sf) with diced tomatoes (sf), garlic (sf) and onions (sf).

    Snack: dark chocolate (sf)

    So that is 16 different super foods with 20 super foods eaten total.

    I think I may have to ween myself off of the dark chocolate. I eat a square of it every night almost which is around 65 calories. It isn't bad but I am not sure I want to eat it every night
  • I guess I'm a calorie counter first, and a Super-foodie second. Even still I've really been trying to get as many SuperFoods in everyday. Here's todays menu:

    B: Cream of Wheat (Missed the oatmeal today - it goes quickly down at the cafe), 1/2 cup Blueberries, coffee with no sugar added creamer.
    S: Cup and a half of raw sugar snap peas. Never had these before last week and I am addicted to the crunch!
    L: Chicken Breast, broccoli, carrots, green tea.
    S: Cup of cantelope, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup strawberries.
    D: Hamburger patty, cup+ of spinach.
    D*: Thats dessert. 1/2 cup of diet ice cream.

    I guess thats 8 super foods, right? (I only counted the blueberries once.)

    Edited - due to change in actual lunch.
  • I don't count calories but today I decided to plug my plan into fitday to see how many calories the day would end up being if I stuck to my plan. The total, including chocolate, is around 1300 calories with a break down of 19% fat, 52% carbs and 30% protein. I guess I am doing better than I thought I was, I thought I was more near 1800. It is ok because it gives me a little flex.

  • I'm on the superfoods bandwagon. After reading the book, I feel like I would need to turn myself into Child Protective Services if I don't feed this stuff to my children. Slowly, but surely, I'll turn them into little SuperEaters.
