- Kashi U
- Yogurt (Yoplait...the red one)
- 1 Egg
- Handful of some fresh berries
- 100% Orange Juice with Omega-3
Lunch is mostly a sandwich:
- Whole Grain wheat bread with Flax
- Hormel Natural Choice Turkey (I know lunch meat has a lot of salt)
- Alfalfa Sprouts
- Swiss Cheese
- Mustard
- and then some raw veggies like carrots and broccolli...sometimes a piece of fruit
- Snack at work is...prunes!
- Fridays in Lent I will probably be eat peanut butter instead of turkey and swiss...
When I get off work I might snack on some multigrain crackers and cheese. I don't eat too much...just if I am really hungry and had a long day.
Dinner depends...
- once time a week I might eat whole wheat pasta and tomato sauce or pesto
- a couple of times a week I heat half a chicken breast and veggies...or sometimes I make stirfry with minimal soy sauce
- twice a week I might eat tilapia and spinach (I cook it together with some salt-free lemon pepper...tasty!)
- sometimes I make tacos out of turkey meat...with all the rice and beans to go with it
- I might also eat some turkey burgers on whole wheat buns...and veggies as a side
- 2-4 times a MONTH I might eat salmon...I like tilapia better and it contains almost undetectable amounts of mercury
- Sometimes I cook rice (brown!) and beans but I make them from scratch so...maybe only once a week on both of them.
Really my dinner diet depends on what I want to eat. My order of most eaten meat to least goes like this... Chicken, tilapia, turkey, salmon, shrimp. I don't really like red meats. I only eat them when someone else cooks them. For instance, I will eat steak if my parents have a family get-together. My veggies depends on what is available and looks good. I usually buy fresh broccolli, carrots, spinach and anything else that looks like it just got off the truck. I eat it slightly cooked with a little bit of olive oil (unless I put that on my meat). I typically buy berries (blueberries mostly), apples, oranges, bananas, mangos, strawberries, ...whatever is fresh.
I eat a try to eat omega-3 since I have eczema and when I was taking flaxseed oil, it really helped! Flaxseed oil started getting old after awhile. I take supplements. I take a multivitamin and calcium (with magnesium and zinc) at breakfast. I do not really like milk so I figure the calcium tablets are a good investment. I also workout for an hour Monday through Friday. I walk at an incline on a treadmill for 30 minutes and then it is a stair climber for the other 30 minutes. I also walk plenty at my job since I work as an engineer for a company. Their manufacturing plant is HUGE. We make tires from raw materials to the final inspected product. The plant must be 3/4 of a mile long and 1/2 a mile wide. I get plenty of walking. By the way, I will go ahead and confirm that after seeing Michelin's maunfacturing process...they make a high quality tire. They also do hand inspect every tire ...amoung many other inspections.
What do you think needs improvement? I try to buy as much organic as I possibly can but there is no organic produce in my town. It's a small town...I will leave it at that.
