My 4 Day Menu

Here is an example of what I eat! If you would like any of the recipes let me know. I eat snacks all through out the day...it is better to not let your tummy get too hungry because your body goes into a fat storing mode...so eat more often but choose healthy snacks!

Day 1
Breakfast: Whole-grain pancake mix with fresh blueberries...so yummy!
Snack: Yogurt and granola (plain yogurt, not sweetened)
Lunch: Spinach salad with feta, avocado, pecans, and red onion. Olive oil and vinegar as dressing
Snack: Fresh salsa and chips
