can you tell me what to eat for breakfast, lunch and snacks for healthy/optimal weight loss? i'm set with dinner, that's just going to have to be an exercise in portion control. also, how much of what kind of activity? thanks
My breakfast is almost always either Kashi cereal or oatmeal, with a little orange juice. About half of the time I eat an egg as well (protein makes you feel full longer). I have a piece of fruit mid-morning when breakfast starts to wear off. For lunch I'm guilty of going for convenience...I eat a Lean Cuisine or Smart Ones. On the weekends I'll have a sandwich on wheat bread w/no cheese or mayo. I eat either a veggie snack or yogurt as my afternoon snack. For dinner I have whatever I've made for my family, just in a smaller portion.
I work out 5 days a week and sometimes 6. I do cardio 4 times (treadmill or elliptical) and resistance training 2-3 times depending on my mood.
Breakfast should be a large meal. Fruit salad with plain yogurt and nuts/granola is always good. Whole wheat toast and peanutbutter. Tomatoes and hard boiled eggs. Eat small snacks thoughout the day of vegetables and fruit. Lunch - try some wraps with whole wheat pita with turkey and vegetables (try and limit sauce). Dinner should be light...very light...soup and salad. Just make sure you have your complex carbs (whole wheat, oats etc...) some protein, and lots of fiber!!! I also recommend not drinking any juice or pop and drinking your coffee black. I only drink water and tea. Juice is just such a waste of calories!!! And never starve yourself. Never let yourself get too hungery. Eat slowly and pay attention to your body. Drink lots of water!
just go brisk walking an hr or 2 daily...no need other workouts(unless you want it and can afford the cash,time and energy)...stick to a diet rich in steamed fish, fresh fruits(for snacks,either freshly eaten,juiced or used with fatfree yoghurts to make smoothies) and lots of veggies..try a portion controlled lactovovegetarian diet..you cant get weight loss any more fun than this!
