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
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.)
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.
b--1 c.horizons organic vanilla yogurt/ 1/2 c. blueberries (2 SF)
s--Pria complete nutrition bar (1 SF--soy)
l--leftover salmon, brocc/cauli/carrot mix, couscous (4 SF, I think)
s--apple (1 SF)
d--big salad w/ spinach, romaine, yellow pepper, cukes, grilled chick breast--(2 SF)
Lots of iced tea--1 sf
Phantastica, that sounds good. I was thinking of serving eggplant tonight (or zucchini). I may make that and maybe even add some cut up potatoes as well.
I had a friend show up unexpectedly, so today did not stick to plan but turned out pretty well. Which is reassuring that this stuff was good enough to offer her.
