Hey, What's for Lunch?
Lunch Time. What are we having?
With this meal, and every meal, I want to make sure that I get the three important components into my diet...
Protein, Fat and Carbohydrates.
Today I think I'll start with a large salad. In my bowl I put, (not necessarily in this order):
Lg. handful of greens. For me, 1/2 baby field greens & 1/2 spinach.
Handful of cleaned, with the ends broken off, asparagus.
1/2 cup shredded cabbage.
1/4 container broccoli sprouts.
1 small tomato.
1/4 red pepper.
Sm. handful shredded carrots.
For dressing I use Paul Newman's Balsamic Vinaigrette. Not low fat, since I need the good fats. I measure out 2 tbs. It's easy to over pour!
Once I have everything together, I chop and dice right in the bowl until it is thoroughly cut up to my satisfaction. I like to get a little taste of everything in each bite.
For protein I change it up. Either:
1/2 cup FF cottage cheese, or
Sm. tin of tuna, or
3 oz chicken breast cut up in my salad, or
a protein drink, (I like Optimum Nutrition Vanilla), or
3 oz. Maverick hamburger, or
7 lg. precooked, precleaned shrimp
