Today’s Tip: Healthy Menu Items

August 20th, 2009 by admin

More meal suggestions to help you eat right!

Breakfast: 4 boiled eggs (3 if you’re a petite woman, 5 if you’re a muscular 200+ pound man with less than 20% bodyfat)
Mid morning: 1 cup cottage cheese with pineapple (1 cup cottage cheese offers 30 grams of protein!)
Lunch: Turkey slices in whole wheat pita with avocado, sprouts, tomato, and mayonnaise (small amount) and/or mustard or oil/vinegar, salt/pepper
Mid afternoon: Protein shake
Dinner: Lean ground beef patty, open-face on whole wheat bread or bun, with Romaine lettuce and tomato
Final snack: Cup of Soy Milk with some roasted almonds or peanuts

Remember, try not to eat after 8 in the evening!

what are the health benifits of soy milk over regular skim milk and should it be a complete change over to soy? And where does rice milk fall into play in all of this?

Chantz, good to hear from you! Soy milk has almost 0 carbs and yet is a sweet source of protein, that is if you buy Silk or Westsoy unsweetened. You have to be careful because virtually all of them have evaporated cane juice in except those marked unsweetened.

I drink it before I go to bed sometimes rather than milk or eating a higher fat or higher carb snack. In other words, if I’m gonna break my own rule of no eating after 8, a few gulps of soy milk is a great way to do it!
