"Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use."

Take a look at these sample menus... always read my sample menus because it will give you a good idea of serving sizes for different things, and you will become more familiar with how to combine your food.

ReplyDeleteFruit:
7 small organic strawberries
Carbs:
2 slices ez bread
Fat:
1 tbsp almond buter on ez bread
green tea
Hey T we usually post everything all at once..
ReplyDeleteI think it is easier for everyone to look at.
Low Carb Day
ReplyDeleteProtein
Egg White (omelet with tons of veggies)
1 container Grilled Chicken
1 container Grilled Turkey Breast
Carb
1/2 container Sweet Potato
1 slice Ezekiel Bread
Fats
1 serving almond butter
1 serving EVOO
Fruit
Plum
15 Red Grapes
Question - I saw this posted yesterday as well. What about Quinoa? I had it last weekend in between the two UTC sessions. It was great. I looked it up and it looks like a very healthy grain to use as a carb. Is it good for an everyday carb, or save as a cheat meal?
Jess - menu looks good for low carb day (those of you doing phase 1, don't worry about high and low carb days for now).
ReplyDeleteT - either way is fine... you need to eitehr plan it ahead of time or keep track of it during the day and post at night... what you had so far won't tell us anything (as far as if you have had enough food or not). So just wait until you are planned out or done eating, then post.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent carb choice Scott (quinoa)... you need more fats BTW
ReplyDeleteFirst bf on my own-what a mess but I DID IT! Question-can I use apple butter spread on the ez bread? Ingredients are apples + apple cider, 5g carb, 4g sugar, 25 cal in 1 tblespoon. Would this count as a fruit or towards a fruit? Burning more calories figuring out menu than elipitical...Good luck everyBODY ;-)
ReplyDeleteOne more thing-forgot to buy the shake + greens from you. What is a good alternative? Live in NYC
ReplyDeleteCan I have a small glass of orange juice? If so, should I count it as a carb?
ReplyDeleteJ.K. one apple butter is ok, but use as little as possible to flavor. Any whey protien is fine, there are plenty out there and most taste great... be sure it is pure whey protein, you don't want carbs and/or fat in the mix. Kyo-greens is good for now, but the Greens First is superior. Pick it up next time.
ReplyDeleteGreg - fresh squeezed OJ is fine... if you HAVE to have OJ from a container count as a fruit (6 ounces is a fruit serving) Not a big fan of doing it that way, but do it if neseccary. Hang in there man... make sure you are eating ALL the food on the list.
ReplyDeleteDay 1-breakfast and lunch
ReplyDeleteOrange and banana before noon
9 eggwhites with broccoli and onions/1 yolk (fat)

Darren:
ReplyDeleteI usually mix egg whites (cooked) into my oatmeal with some Agave. It is awesome.
:)
Tom--
ReplyDeleteI posted my Monday meal on Sunday's blog earlier today--Quick question..Is salsa ok on chicken??
Darren - do you mean how to prepare them or what to put in them? A very HEALTHY thing to put into your oatmeal is organic cinnamon. Also, try what Jess said.
ReplyDeleteBob and everyone else... salsa is fine.... so is seltzer... salsa / seltza - all good.

tom,
1 if i'm used to only one or two servings of grains per day, should i still start with 3 containers?
2 would you advise against the extra protein for me?
3 does tomato count as a fruit?
4 lastly, should i keep my workout nutrition calories separate from my daily totals, or include them?
Matt -
ReplyDeleteextra protein is OK for you... the rule is that if you are still hungry have another 1/2 serving
start with 3 carbs per day and it is OK to have all sources be sweet potatoes if you want
tomato is a fruit
no - do not keep them seperate - you will do a version of this later in phase 2
quinoa is a great carb
got it. thanks a ton.
ReplyDeleteTom:
ReplyDeleteI picked up the protein mix from your store today..can i drink a protein shake in the morning as a protein?
As for the rolled oats...i was looking for the best way to prepare? Am i using 1 container?

ReplyDeleteTom,
ReplyDeletehow much avocado = 1 fat?
What is agave?
ReplyDeleteMurph - about 2/3 of a medium sized avocado is a serving of fat. Avacado is an EXCELLENT fat.
ReplyDeleteMaryanne - if that is your menu so far ok, but please post it as I posted above in the sample menus that way it is easy to see if you had enough food.
ReplyDeleteAll you UTC veterans thanks for pitching in and helping to answer questions!
ReplyDeleteagave nectar is a natural sweetner with a low glycemic index but should still be used sparingly
ReplyDeleteMurph~Agave Nectar is a natural sweetner found in the organic section of the supermarket. I get it at whole foods, but I know they have it at trader joes and wegmans to. It's consistency resembles honey.

ReplyDeleteSo if I've finished eating by 6pm...and I'm up 'til 11 or midnight, is my only option some kind of veggie if hunger strikes?
ReplyDeleteMatt, you're on phase 1, correct? If so you are missing a container of protein. Should be 3 containers of protein. nine eggs is only one container
ReplyDeleteKara, excellent! I know what your saying about snacking on the kids lunches. Maybe you should save a serving of almonds to pick on while you prepare their food.
ReplyDeleteElla, looks great! See you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteDorothy, Good job. What is that shake? Is it considered protein? If so you had too much today. Also, not that is't wrong but i don't think you should get all your carbs from bread. I wouldn't do it. xoxo

ReplyDeleteIs rasberries allowed as a fruit or too high in sugar? Really can eat 10 easily!
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm a little confused about where to post stuff for the blog, but I think I'm starting to get it. I apparently posted my day 2 on day1 so I'm going to put it here:
ReplyDeleteHad a busy day today, didn't time out my meals as I should, had breakfast around 10:30am, snack about 5 pm & dinner after 11pm. Also figured I'd try to make it easier for Tom by putting my whole days eating in one spot. I posted breakfast earlier, but am going to put it here again:
breakfast:
protein shake:
-lots of ice & water
-3 scoops whey protein, 54g protein (p)
- 1 container mixed grapes/strawberries (c)
- 1 Tbsp almond butter (f)
Snack:
- small organic red apple (c)
Dinner:
- 1 serv ez bread (3 slices) (c)
- 1 serv almond butter (f)
- 1/2 med tomato (about 1/2 container) (c)
- 1 serv 90% lean org beef (burger) (p)
- 1/2 org cucumber
Along with my maintenance meds & supplements I take 1200mg fish oil in am & 1300 mg flax oil in pm. Should I count these supplements as part of my fats for the day?
Should we include anything about what types of exercise we've done for the day?
Tom, I got the info you sent thru e-mail. Kathy went shopping while I was at TaeKwonDo class tonight and picked up more items for the pantry. Thanks. I'll try and stop by the gym tomorrow to take care of the before picture.
