CLEAN UP YOUR DIET CHALLENGE!

HartJames

BEGINS NEXT MONDAY 3/24/14

Each day (beginning next Monday) you will come to this page and post one meal a day from the previous week and the SAME meal IMPROVED (cleaner, healthier, unprocessed, more protein or organic are a few examples of improved). Essentially, eat & record your diet this week as usual. NEXT week you will look back at your diary and improve one meal each day. You can use pics if you like. It will look something like this:



MONDAY DINNER BEFORE

Balsamic vinegar .5 tbsp
Onion minimal
Garlic minimal
Olive oil .25 tbsp
Organic chicken 4.5oz
Roasted sweet potato 1.5 (cups cooked with calorie free coconut oil spray)
Plain Greek yogurt .25 cup

Cals 389 Protein 32 Carbs 46 (you can compare any macros or none)



Pretty Darn clean! But how can I improve?

Frankly, that's a lot of carbs for my needs so late in the day. So a little tweaking is in order!



MONDAY DINNER AFTER (* indicates something I changed or added)

Balsamic vinegar .5 tbsp
Onion minimal
Garlic minimal
Olive oil .25 tbsp
*Organic chicken 5oz
*Roasted sweet potato .5 cups (cooked with calorie free coconut oil spray)
*Roasted organic zucchini 1/2 large
Plain Greek yogurt .25 cup

Improvements

Less Cals 389/315 (same volume of food though!)

Increased protein 32/35

Decreased Carbs 46/24 (wow!)


It's hard to deny how easy that was and those results in black & white sure make me want to improve! Anyone else? If you're down for the challenge just comment or "bump" this thread
