Wednesday Protein 1 container of Ground Sirloin (added red peppers, onion, some spices, oregano and parsley) 1 container of Chicken (pesto) Carbs 1 container of Brown Rice 3 slices EZ bread Fat cashews (15g) Light Dressing (7g) Almond butter (15g)
Only 37g (fat) but I guess close enough.
Will eat like this 6am Banana on EZ bread with Almond Butter 10am brown rice .5, Sirloin .5 12pm chicken .5, Salad , with light dressing 3pm chicken .5 , brown rice .5 6pm brown rice .5 , sirloin .5 Not sure were yet but I will eat the cashews and celery/other slice of bread . Maybe after dinner if I am still hungry I got up early this morning because I was anxious to make the sirloin. I know sick! I need some more ideas for Protein? I have not yet done the Tuna so I might try that tomorrow. We will see how it turned out. This way I don't have to use one of my proteins in the morning ... I was a little hungry Day 3, but I know that I didn't eat all my carbs and protein I had a little left over but didn't want to eat it if I didn't want it. The whole wheat couscous turned out to be a lot for me. I put a little bit of sauce on the couscous (tomato) when I was in the store was not sure which one? Jody which one is good? Also, when I was cooking I realized that I really thought I was making enough for the week... but I didn't. I probably need to buy more chicken and more Sirloin and other proteins that are acceptable. :) Waiting for mental clarity to come really need it! lol
I saw you said pesto next to the chicken a couple times. If you don't mind...did you buy that in the store, where and what brand..I am trying to find some! Thank you:)
I can't believe how I have assimilated into this entire process. Trained shoulders/arms/abs 2 mugs coffee a dab of skim milk 1 splenda per mug--I am going to drop the sweetner 1 carb--2 slices of Ezekiel bread 1 container protein grilled chicken 10 egg whites with a little honey mustard 1/2 bag of frozen spinich 1 carb-2 slices of Ezekiel 2 fats almonds Water, Water, everywhere 1/2 bottle lemonade this is going too
.5 container of Harmonized protein, scoop greens, .5 banana and 5 chunks of pineapple(really great for digestion).5 container of ezekiel bread 2 talblespoons almond butter (16gf)
.5 container of grilled chicken, .5 container of sweet potato
.5 container of harmonized protein 2 scoops almond butter (16gf)
I got protein powder last night.They didn't have harmonized protein, but instead I got whey protein, chocolate flavor, 25 gr protein in 1 serving.(I did 1.5 scoops twice yest) OK?
I usually do afteroon classes, step or spin from 4-5 or 5-6 3times/week and group lifting 3 times a week around the same time. I ate at 3.30ish last time today but still feel too full..probably because i used to eat way to little compared to the amount of workouts I did...
Anyway..what is the right amount of working out for this diet and how important is it in order to succeed?
HI Jody, Fruit: 1 banana Carbs: 1 cont. lentils 1 cont. homemade bean soup in just water Protien: 1 cont. egg salad .5 cont. chicken on spinash 1 scoop (.5 serv.)of Harmonized protien drink Fats: 1 serv almond butter 1 serv safflower mayo 5 brazil nuts and 5 walnuts .5 serv. of olive oil Green tea, Jody question, if we eat salmon, how much do you count as fat and how many walnuts caount as 1 fat serv. and the same with brazil nuts. Thanks, Kathy
Hey Guys.... Jody/Sara: PESTO I got the basil pesto at Whole foods (365 brand) Not sure if it is the best one but it is made with the following expeller Pressed sunflower oil basil, extra V olive oil , it does have salt and sugar in it so it may not be the best. I would say I put like 1 tbsp on and it has 8g of fat sugar is <1 g whatever that mean so I guess its not bad. I have made homemade pesto sauce before and its easy .. when I have time I should make some more. It is just Extra V olive oil and I think some spices and basil thats it.. You can probably even add some other things (spices) that you like. I have a tiny blender. Like a little portable one that I use a lot I think black and decker makes it and I use that. I think I should have probably counted the pesto for at least 8g of fat.
What other oils do you think you could use? I have avacado oil? EGGS I make hard boiled eggs all the time and they come out pretty good. I put water in the pot and make sure the eggs are covered and wait for them to boil ... I put sea salt and Vinegar in the water. Then after it boils I put it in the sink in cold water and add ice cubes to the pot. They have been coming out pretty good lately.
I am having such a bad day... If you need to label what kind of eater I am its a emotional one, and I know that. I learn something new about myself everyday. Jess.
Sara, working out is crucial to the success of this program. Remember there is not set time to eat. As long as you get all of your containers in and carbs before 6 you're in good shape. Maybe the meal you eat before you workout should be smaller. Make it only carbs and protein. Fats may make you feel too stuffed.
Jessica you can use almond oil, safflower oil, walnut oil. In Wegman's in the organic section they have a large variety of different oils. They say right on the front what they are good for. I don't know if you are aware but some oils become toxic when heated too much. It will state on the bottle good for high, medium or low heat.
Hi Kathy, food looks great. The fat in the salmon is so good for you. I would say on the days you eat salmon cut the fat by 5grams. Walnuts and almonds are the best choice. Have to look into brazil nuts for you. Whole or half walnuts?
Protein 1 container of ground sirloin .5 Alaska Roll (is light soy sauce allowed?) Carbs 1 container of brown rice/ I will only fill up 1/2 way because I need to use my other half for my Alaska Roll 1 container of EZ Bread, I have not been able to eat my last slice ever. Fats Avocado (from Alaska roll)not sure how much fat?5 g 1/5 of an avocado is 5 grams I don't think more than that is in a roll? What do you think Jody? Almond Butter 17g cashews 15g
Salad, and Edamame Beans
So worried about going away this weekend for Snow tubbing. I hope I do okay. For some reason misery loves company. I hate when people push food. I will just keep busy .. They are talking about going to a bar. I am really not a drinker so the drinking won't bother me. I do like wine sometimes, but it really just gets me tired. so not in the cards for me. What are some healthy things I can order off of the menu? Or should I just eat my containers before I go out and then just get a small salad? Feeling pretty good today! Today is latin dance night. OH I love it ! The teacher is amazing and you get a great cardio workout from it! I did arms and legs 1 x this week I will need to do them again before Sunday.
Day 4 - Still trying to eat everything...but everything is feeling good..
7:30 - 2 Vans Gluten Free frozen waffles (1 C carb)- really good! with blueberries and small smear of almond butter (1 F). 11:30 - green salad w/ 5 large shrimp (.5 cont?) in homemade low fat lemon dressing (.5F) and a hand full of grape tomatoes not even .5C. 2:00 - .5 container wild caught flounder w/ lemon and pepper made at home, not frozen. 3:30 - lg green salad w/arugula and broccoli slaw, olive oil, lemon and sweet potato (.5F) 10:00pm - 1 cont. chicken w/ spinach salad and lemon dressing (.5F) Water level - very good, only 2 coffees w/ the tiniest splash of skin milk. Workout: 5x 2:00 rounds of kickboxing on heavy bag, tabata drills for various lower body. Energy level very good although I feel a little hungry when I wake up but never throughout the day. Is that normal?
large salad with 2 tablespoon can oil with white balsamic vinegar along with 1 container homemade broiled monkfish (just spices and a spray of canola oil)
2 tablespoon peanut butter or 22 almonds/pecans/walnuts
jody - my issue remains the same - at night at around 8pm - thats when i get hungry and need alot of something crunchy - any suggestions?
Try #2 Who knows where my blog went... Day 5 Thursday yoga very athletic
2 slices Ezekiel bread 1 scoop whey protein 23 grams 5 chunks pineapple 10 egg whites with loads of spinich dab of pesto larger dab of honey mustard 10 eggs whites with spinich I am so boring, but I don't eat red meat 3 slices Ezekiel bread biggest bang for the carbs.
Jan when i am hungry at night i have protein. Try to have a protein shake. It really is satisfying. By the way i know that thanks was sarcastic. He he. I am sorry if i was short with you. Do you want crunch or salt? Raw veggies are crunchy and filling. How about jerky? You are just fighting those cravings again. It will pass.

ReplyDeleteMaybe I will have the celery there.
Hey Jessica,
ReplyDeleteI saw you said pesto next to the chicken a couple times.
If you don't mind...did you buy that in the store, where and what brand..I am trying to find some!
Thank you:)
I can't believe how I have assimilated into this entire process.
ReplyDeleteTrained shoulders/arms/abs

1 splenda per mug--I am going to drop the sweetner
1 carb--2 slices of Ezekiel bread
1 container protein grilled chicken
10 egg whites with a little honey mustard

1 carb-2 slices of Ezekiel
2 fats almonds
Water, Water, everywhere

ReplyDeleteJessica, knew you'd have it by day three. Looks great. Try to get those carbs in before 6.
ReplyDeleteJaylynn, beautiful. Did you get my message that the container of ezekiel is 3 slices? Im sorry for giving you the wrong info.
ReplyDeleteJessica, can you please post where you got the pesto from? Thanks

.5 container of grilled chicken, .5 container of sweet potato
.5 container of harmonized protein 2 scoops almond butter (16gf)
.5 container lean beef, spinach salad
22 almonds (16gf)
I will also have .5 containers of rice at some point before 6
ReplyDeleteJody or anyone know...
ReplyDeleteWhat's the trick to cooking hard boiled eggs so that they are easy to peel i.e.: shell doesn't stick too much to the white?
Thanks!
Hi Jody:)
ReplyDeleteI got protein powder last night.They didn't have harmonized protein, but instead I got whey protein, chocolate flavor, 25 gr protein in 1 serving.(I did 1.5 scoops twice yest)
OK?
Howard, I run them under cold water as i peel them.
ReplyDeleteSara, thats great. What are the carbs?
ReplyDeleteJody, one scoop has 3 g of carbs...just had 1.5 scoops..its really delicious:)
ReplyDeleteMy menu today:
ReplyDeleteCarbs: 3/4 cup rolled oats(48 gr carbs)
1 conatiner brown rice
Had 1 small orange
Protein: 1 cont salmon
2 protein shakes( 3 scoops)
Fat: 2 serv almonds
1 serv sunflower seeds
I feel very full...its making me a bit lazy I think.I felt way to full to go to the gym.I know its bad, but I just dint have the energy to get going.
Advice?
Sara, protein powder is perfect. What time do you workout? You don't want to workout right after you eat anyway.
ReplyDeleteI usually do afteroon classes, step or spin from 4-5 or 5-6 3times/week and group lifting 3 times a week around the same time.
ReplyDeleteI ate at 3.30ish last time today but still feel too full..probably because i used to eat way to little compared to the amount of workouts I did...
