Nut Butters
Seed Butters
Beans (ie: pinto, garbanzo, soy, black)
Lentils

In a typical day I usually eat:
Breakfast:
Bowl of oatmeal, several spoonfuls of peanut butter mixed in, raisins mixed in, soymilk mixed in, and strawberries on the side.

Snack: Usually nothing, but some nuts or fruit if i’m hungary.

Lunch: A salad of baby mixed greens, or spinach with carrot, tomatoes, red wine vinegar and olive oil, or kale or other dark greens sautéed in olive oil with garlic or other veggies with nuts, tofu or beans, and bread or quinoa, or brown rice. Maybe an apple or orange if i’m still hungary.

Snack: Usually nothing again, but fruits or nuts if i’m hungary.

Dinner: Stir-fry with veggies tofu, and brown rice, beans, mixed greens, and a tortilla, ratatouille and quinoa, roasted root veggies, or roasted veggies with tofu, or quinoa. Soup, salads etc.

Yes it’s really key to eat at least every 3-5 hours and focus on foods higher in protein and fiber to help you reach your goals. Remember to take time out of your day to also enjoy your food and be mindful while your eating it. This will help you feel good about the new food choices you are making.

Have you tried greek yogurt yet?

One of my favorites is Greek Yogurt Smoothies! (great grab and go protein and fiber breakfast)
Here is my basic recipe:

-Yoplait Greek Plain (17 gram of protein and an excellent source of calcium & vitamin D, which are important in bone health)
-Frozen mixed berries and mango
-Small amount of juice for flavor and moisture
-Ground flax seed (* optional-omega 3 and fiber)
-handful of frozen spinach (*optional, but you won’t even know it’s in there)

Then I typically will have a “side” breakfast dish of something else like:
-hard boiled egg
-small handful of walnuts
-string cheese
-sliced apple with peanut butter

Snacks are similar the above, but I also like:
-Larabars
-carrots, celery, jicama dipped in hummus
-Yoplait Light yogurt (30+ flavors) and piece of fruit
-Whole grain crackers and cottage cheese

Lunch is almost always soup and salad. Fills you up and is healthy!

Dinner:
-Grilled lean meat
-Veggies
-Brown Rice

Sometimes if I’m not in the mood to cook, I will simply slice some fruit, small amount of cheese, lean meat, and a few olives and enjoy!

Here are some additional websites with great recipe ideas:

you can buy whey protein powder (concentrate is apparently better than isolate) if you are vegetarian. IF you are vegan you can get pea protein. Check with your local grocery store if they have an organics section.
