Hi Guys,
Newbie to the site and I was hoping I could have you pro's eval my meals. Today is SBD phase 1 day 2

Brk: 1 boiled egg...1 piece of croaker fish ( I love fish!)

Lunch: 2.5 cups of boiled black eyes peas with 1 boiled egg and fish sauce ( just bits of fish mixed in seasoned tomato sauce...home made)

Snk: I large mug of tea with a sugar substitute

Dinner: Raw spinach( lotsa spinach yum!) with baked chicken +/_ some more fish
pos din snk ( optional) : handfull of dry roasted unsalted peanuts


What do u guys think....?


ps...is there a place where menus can be posted for critiquing?

It looks like you could use a lot more veggies, unless you're eating 4 cups of spinach at dinnertime. And you should try to get 2 cups of dairy (not including cheese) in there, too, to balance your diet.

As for a place for critiquing your menu, we have an On-Plan Thread where you could post it and probably get a lot of helpful suggestions.

Good luck, and we're looking forward to getting to know you!

My thought too!

I'm pretty sure they're on the no no list.

Limit your peanuts to a couple tablespoons.

More veg!

They are OK but 2.5 cups is a whopping 495 calories and 21 grams of fiber! SBD suggests that a serving is a half cup. Calories do count on this plan.

I'd also work on more variety in vegetables, not just leafy ones like spinach.

Great start.
I would personally make a couple changes:
substitute a low carb veg for the peas
substitute almonds, walnuts, avocado, or EVOO for the peanuts

Thanks Ladies...
Thats why I joined; to get some guidance and I appreciate all the responses!!
I have lost 3 lbs ( on day 5 of phase 1) and won't stop!
In regards to veggies... besides leafy greens, I am not interested in much else. I like that greens are juicy and fill me up. I think I'll stick with them..
