    Love seeing these pics!! I think my meals are kinda boring compared to these beautiful pictures.

    Would it be too much trouble to include the container counts for each item? I may steal some ideas but want to make sure I"m counting correctly.

    Here is my typical lunchtime salad: arugula, other veggies (1.5

    Not at all. That dish was red, green, yellow and a tsp. the spinach probably was 1-2 more green but I decided not to count it because of the low caloric value (I know not good but I really struggle not eating more green!!). And the guacamole is a blue.

    Containers for the 3 Day Quick Fix are the same every day:
    B: 1R, 1Y, 1t
    S: 1R, 1Y
    L: 1R, 1G
    S: 1R, 1G, 1t
    D: 1R, 1G, 1t
    S: 1R, 1G, 1t

    Today was more normal but surprisingly green.



    B: 1R, 1Y, 1G
    S: 1R, 1P, 1t
    L: 1G, 1R, 1O
    S: 1B, 1G, 1P
    D: 1R, 1G, 1Y, 1t

    I'm follow a meal plan my coach provided for me but still doing the 8 hour abs diet thing. So I ate everything between 10am and 6pm. I didn't take pics of some of the food (because I'm a slacker like that).

    Thank you! I normally buy the onion and bell peppers whole (2 of each color) and chop etc,. But this week I cheated and purchased Publix's pre-chopped packages. Then added the shredded carrots, green beans and snap peas. Sauteed in 2 tbsp of coconut oil on medium heat for 10 min or so.

    My coach sent me a week's worth of clean eating food and I have to say that I'm not crazy about Wednesday's menu. I mean, believe it or not, I was supposed to have more eggs than you see in this picture (half a dozen total). But I am giving the menu a try out of curiosity. And I'm mostly sticking with it.

    I bought a zoodle but have not made anything with it yet. Not sure what to try first.

    Not sure what board to post this on... BUT I was wondering if anyone knows of a salad dressing that is 21 day fix approved that I don't have to actually make.
  • SatiaRenee
    SatiaRenee Posts: 798 Member
    @TheFo1dOut I see many coaches and such use dressings from Trader Joe's. So long as the dressing is organic and doesn't have any sugar/salt added, you are fine. Read the labels and go from there. You might also consider going to your local farmer's market and seeing if you can find some organic, local made/grown dressings there.

    @SatiaRenee Thanks for the suggestion! After 3 days of that "creamy herb dressing" I gave up. I talked myself into liking it the first day but man oh man was it bad today. I see they have other dressing recipes but I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to make dressings, nor the resources.

    I loooove the vinaigrette dressings in the book. I would recommend making 1 but only half to see if you like it. I know what you mean about not having the resources but if you look at the recipes, once you've made one, you will have some of the ingredients you need for another. And another.

    Also, go on Pinterest. A lot of people have 21 Fix themed boards there with tons of recipes! I started with 1 dressing (a basic balsamic vinaigrette). I then went out and bought some sesame oil for the Citrus Asian one (which I adore!). The fresh ginger, as it turns out, can be frozen. I peeled the ginger before freezing it and now, whenever I want a dash of fresh ginger, I simply grate what I need and toss the leftover back in the freezer. Then I made the Dijon mustard one. Love that one too. Used it as a marinade too. But I didn't and couldn't make them all at once. Like you, getting all the disparate ingredients would have been too much. Still, over time, I had what I needed to make whatever I wanted and I realized that now we're saving money! My homemade dressings are cheaper than the store ones, especially the healthy, organic ones. And I absolutely know what's in mine and can control everything. Right now I have a garlic vinaigrette in the refrigerator after finishing of a raspberry vinaigrette. So it's really worth it, in the long run, to slowly build up your stockpile of ingredients to make your own.

    Still following the menu given to me by my coach and . . . apparently Jorge Cruise, #1 bestselling author, liked my image. How cool is that?

    B: eggs with turkey, pepper, onion, and salsa
    S: Greek yogurt with a dash of cinnamon and berries
    L: leftover turkey chili
    D: rice and bean "taco" in a lettuce wrap

    @SatiaRenee very cool! But your pics are always so pretty, so I'm not surprised.

    I have a picture today! This was my incredibly delicious and filling dinner - flatout pizza. Remembered that light ricotta cheese was a red, not a blue, so I got to sneak in a little extra cheese! This is 100% whole wheat flatout with a thin layer of ricotta, a thin layer of tomato sauce, sauteed veggies, and ground beef. 1 yellow, 1 red, 1 green. Awesome!

    Yum! I can't seem to find flat outs. Where did you get it?
  • jpkrueger
    jpkrueger Posts: 280 Member
    Stop and Shop. But it was near the deli, not with the other bread. It is usually kind of hard to find for some reason, they are always moving it.

    I am going to get Rob to look for Flat Out because I really love pizza and our attempts at cauliflower crust have not really fulfilled that desire for me.
