Reesecup77, regarding eating on the run, see the online guide “Staying Strong when the Routine is Gone”.
In addition, the same principles that are used for kids’ school lunches hold true here – sandwiches, nuts and seeds, whole fruits and vegetables, yogurt, and of course, leftovers or frozen portions from large weekend cooking batches.Hi, JoePapa. Can you provide your height and weight? I will see what your assigned pattern gives you, and then if it needs tweeking. Many of the plans are already 45 gm carbohydrates per meal.
Thanks Ossie! I appreciate all the info and will look into the bars I bought vs what you told me about.
Are there any recipes that don’t call for so many eggs? I just got my blood work done and my cholesterol is very high and my Dr wants me to go on meds. I am trying to get it lower by taking my flaxseed vitamins 4 x a day and Red Rice Yeast 2 capsules at nite. I am also a vegetarian so my protein choices have a lot of eggs. I see some have egg substitute. I guess the recipes I chose call for a lot of eggs. Back to the drawing board. LOL
where do I shop for some of these items like swg I have not seen them in a regular grocery store. Thanks Magg
Hi, Magg. You can find specialty items in health-oriented stores, including large chains such as Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s, as well as online.
Ossie,
Hi to all.
I am a vegeterian and the menu planner keeps putting meat in there and when I go for a substitute, I’m not sure I would get the same value?Hi, magg. I will forward your query to the tech team. The program will be upgraded soon to separate the Menu Planner application for vegetarians/vegans from that for omnivores. In the meantime, I would suggest swapping out items according to the list and your tastes.
Hi, Rita. Some of the recipes don’t have eggs, and some have very little. Of the recipes that do, if you want to use them, try swapping out your eggs for omega-3 eggs or egg substitute – that can make a difference.
Also looking forward to vegetarian choices on the menu planner. Sometimes I feel like all I pick are beans and eggs. My cholesterol is high enough. Love the Sweet Potato Frittata!
I just ate my first lunch and it was so filling i thought iwas going to pop. I had to force down the last bit. I had turkey,veggies,beans and rice and steamed veggies. The rice and beans were A LOT! it was a cup of wild rice and 1/2 cup of beans. Can i cut the amount of rice down to 1/2 cup or will i just eventually get used to the portions?
Hello: I am a little overwhelmed by the many ingredients that I need to purchase to begin this diet. To plan a different meal every day is too expensive for my budget. Would this still work if I stuck with the same meals for 3 days straight?
Nana: When you make your menu plan you can choose to have a lot of variety or as little variety as possible. I did that this week and it gives you the same meals for like 3 days and then switches them around about half way through. I was worried about that too. Let me know if that answers your question.
