Tonight we have another Thanksgiving. I went horseback riding today and then on a two hour walk through the plowed fields on our farm for a good workout before the big dinner. I also prepared by planning out my meals for the day. Learning the balance of this new diet is tricky but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I kept my fats and starches to a minimum because I knew I would have more of these for our meal at dinner. So here's the summary of what my 1200 day on maintenance should look like:
5 starches, 6 lean meats, 3 fats, 2 fruits, 2 milks, and tons of non-starchy veggies
I'm going to break down what I had for each meal so you can see what this looks like:
Breakfast -
2 slices of 40 calorie bread (1 starch) with 1/4 cup Break-free eggs (1 meat), and 1 oz. turkey sausage (1 meat)
Banana (1 fruit)
Cup coffee with 2 tsp. fat-free creamer (1/2 milk)
Snack -
JC Anytime Bar (1 milk)
Lunch -
Mushrooms and tomatoes grilled with garlic powder and pepper
100 calorie Whole Wheat Bagel (1 starch) with 2 tsp. low-fat peanut butter (1 fat)
1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese (2 meats)
Snack -
Apple
Dinner -
2 oz. turkey (2 meats)
Salad (iceberg lettuce, tomatoes) 2 tbsp. light ranch (1 fat)
1/4 cup potatoes (1 starch and 1 fat...from margarine in it)
Snack -
1/8 slice of fat-free/sugar-free pumpkin pie (2 starches, 1/2 milk)
GRAND TOTAL: 5 starches, 2 fruits, 2 milk, tons of veggies, 3 fats, and 6 meats
