Don't know if it's clean but here's mine:

Breakfast: Boiled egg, Orange juice, coffee, half a slice of bread
Lunch: Coffee, mango
Dinner: Tortilla wrap with chicken, salad leafs, avocado, tomato, salsa, a little sour cream
Snack: slice ham, mini choc muffin (what can I say? - fairly sure it wasn't "clean")

Total: 952 calories

You're not done for the day, right?

12.30am here, the day is done! Too extreme?

1200/day net is generally accepted to be the minimum calories for an adult.

Excellent - I'm off for a snack!

glad I could help- but even 1200 may not be enough for you, you should check to see that it is sufficient using the tools offered here. I tried to stick to 1200/day and did not lose anything for a month, it was too low. I increased to 1400, and the weight started coming off again!

Here's what I posted in another thread....

Breakfast - 1 egg and 1 white, in omelette style with various spices thrown in, small microwaved potato, apple, tea, 20 oz water

And coffee when I get to work (sweetener and fat-free creamer, but no sugar)

Snack (during work week) - carrot and cucumber, almonds

Lunch (during the work week) - 3 oz can of tuna, big salad that I make myself (Salad includes spinach leaves, iceberg lettuce, red and yellow or red and orange pepper, cucumber, spring onion, cucumber and tomato), pear, apple

Snack (work week) - apple, almonds, Atkins breakfast bar

Dinner (varies) - boneless, skinless chicken breast, broccoli or sometimes a meat with broccoli

Occasionally I'll eat popcorn for snack (fresh in the microwave, using a microwave popper, not the microwave popcorn), and occasionally another Atkins bar. And a few other items depending on what I have left in calories.

On weekends, it changes some, but I still try to stay within my cals.

Wow Dave...a lot of that sounds really good.

I have not considered myself a clean eater so much but I do eat a lot of clean foods.

I can definitely tell a difference when I do.

:noway: where did daves menu go???:huh:

I read it again and I sounded "preachy"
I am trying to change that part of me

I don't think it sounded preachy. It sounded like a menu you ate on a day you went hiking! :laugh:

I came late. I was afraid you were going without! :noway:

DAVE! Menu now! Chop chop!

DAVE! Menu now! Chop chop!

Agreed!

Also, can someone define the 'clean eating' thing as it relates to meat? I'm thinking of cutting out the red meat again (I've been doing it almost by accident lately, just lots of chicken and fish) and need more ideas for meals.

LuckyLeprechaun

red meat is good for you! no reason to cut it out.

for red meat I usually choose sirloins for steak and get flank steak for carne asada

the more expensive cuts for steaks...rib eyes..New Yorks....filet migons...are higher in fat than sirloin

a well prepared sirloin is just fine for me

PLUS..it is less expensive

How do you prepare a sirloin well? I have tried the meat tenderizer and it still seems too tough for me.
Will beating it with one of those mallets help.

no..I dont beat my meat...not sirloin....

I start with a nice sirloin to begin with,....alot of sirloins are cut bad or from tough old ugly cows...costco acutally has great sirloins

I never ever use a meat tenderiser....

the meat MUST be at room temp when it hits the hot hot grill

I have a simple EVO sea salt and fresh ground black pepper marinade for about 2 hours before it hits the grill

4 minutes per inch per side...for a rare/medium rare steak

anything past medium rare is ruining a good piece of meat

I want to scream when I hear people order a steak well done

stillkristi

I agree. Why get a steak if its well done. Just eat your shoe.

And, note, he said HOT HOT grill.

I'm no expert, but I have
1 egg scrambled with shredded cheddar for breakfast. (sometimes a little bacon!) :bigsmile:

1 boneless skinless chicken breast, grilled for lunch, along with raw cukes, pea pods, red peppers, celery, stuff like that.

For dinner, grilled beef, chicken or fish, salad with some Parmesan or blue cheese, a little dressing.
Sometimes fresh green beans or asparagus.

Snacks are string cheese, raw almonds, raw veggies.
