We eat pretty much the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and snacks everyday:
Eggs, English muffins, Smart Balance butter, coffee,creamer, and sugar (haven't been able to give up just a little sugar in my coffee) covers breakfast.
Chicken and brown rice for lunch, spiced a different way each week.
Lots of fruits: Currently bananas and little oranges, but it varies week to week.
Nuts and trail mixes.
Greek Yogurt.
Just started keeping Bare Naked granola.
Extra-virgin olive oil and popcorn.
We've been cooking something out of the Eat Clean Cookbook for dinner most nights for variety and add in a good many vegetables here. The leftover veggies get used for snacks too. My guy is an awesome cook and sometimes he just makes up recipes too, but we try to keep it healthy still, stir fry, etc. Pretty inexpensive and healthy!0 -
Hmmm, I'd have to say:
Natura Soy Milk
Honey Dew Melons
Salmon
Sweet Potato
Rice Cakes
Peanut Butter (my guilty pleasure lol)
Extra Virgin Olive Oil! (I seriously couldn't live without this lol)
Tea
Broccoli
and then just whatever fresh fruits and veggies that are available.
Thank you to everyone for posting thier lists... there are alot of great suggestions0
