1 1/4 cups of Bran flakes cereal
Morning Snack:
Fruit and Nut bar
Lunch
Brown rice and shrimp with summer squash
1 Slice whole wheat bread
Watermelon-Blueberry Ice pop

I love how ya'll did this! But do you see how each person tailers to their tastes and needs! We women need calcium so we may up it at breakfast or add more dark leafy greens. A vegetarian or vegan may forgo the milk but use a fortified soy or almond or rice or hemp milk.
Some may add more veggies or another if more into strength training may need more protein....I love this! YOU GUYS ROCK!0 -
