Day 1 of Phase I...Can you look over my menu for me?

  • I just want to make sure I'm doing this right, since my book has yet to come and I wanted to start today, anyway.

    I'm not quite sure about the balsamic vinegar??

    Here are the ingredients in it:
    2 cloves garlic mashed into 1/4 tsp salt
    1 shallot chopped
    2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    1/4 c. Extra virgin Olive Oil

    Here's my menu for today:

    B: 2 whole egg omelette, 1 tbsp light cheddar and salsa.
    L: grilled beef tenderloin cut up in a salad (lettuces, tomatoes, olives and a homemade viniegrette).
    D: grilled boneless, skinless chicken breaast, cauliflower(with ICBINB spray) and a little bit of homemade bean salad (green beans, wax beans, kidney beans & chickpea's).

    Thanks!!
  • Balsamic vinegar is great to use. Your menu looks fine but where are the snacks? We should be eating every couple of hours to keep our blood sugar from spiking/dipping.
  • Looks good, Rose! Barb is right... make sure you have your snacks so that you're getting enough calories.
  • Oops, forgot about the snacks.

    It will be peanuts & yogurt.

    Thanks ladies.
  • nuts are one of the few things that we have to count. I believe we are allowed 20 peanuts a day. That just isn't enough for me so I don't eat them very often. I can eat as much veggies as I want so I usually much on red peppers or cauliflower with 2 TBSP hummus or horseradish/mayo dip.
  • Thanks Barb, I was just going to ask how many peanuts I could have.
