It makes things simpler if you have the majority of your carbs in the morning b/c most of us crave them at night and eat too many before bed. Here is what works for me: An example of a typical day: 8:00AM: 1/2 cup of old-fashioned oatmeal, 5 egg whites, 1/4 cup of pineapple. 10:30AM: 1 banana with 2 tbsp. of all-natural peanut butter. 1:00PM: 1/2 cup whole wheat pasta, 1/4 cup tomato sauce (I season it with oregano, garlic, and basil), 4 oz. of extra lean ground turkey, 1/2 cup of steamed broccoli. 3:30PM: Whey Protein shake or bar. 6:30PM: 6oz. grilled chicken breast (skinless and boneless) seasoned with Mrs. Dash "No Salt Lemon Pepper" and a dab of BBQ sauce, with some spinach or green beans. Any green or leafy veggie should not count toward your carbohydrate intake becuase it does not digest the same...it is fibrous. |
