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
Dinner: Quinoa (South American Grain, you can buy it at Costco)with sauteed mushrooms and onions(cooked in olive oil), baked Brussels sprouts with salt and pepper and a bit of parmesan (my new favorite thing), and baked chicken with spices and lemon!

Day 2
Breakfast: Egg omelet with onions, garlic, bell peppers and mushrooms (egg whites if trying to lose weight and watch cholesterol levels), mixed berries, and 100% juice.
Snack: Almonds and walnuts
Lunch: Burrito with Black beans, onions, garlic, avocado, corn, salsa,  tomatoes, cilantro, and cheese.
Snack: Apples and Oranges
Dinner: Salmon packed with cilantro, olive oil baked asparagus, cantaloupe, and a salad

Day3
Breakfast: Granola and plain yogurt with berries
Snack: Hummus and chips
Lunch: Chicken salad with red peppers, avocado, pumpkin seeds, edamame and a little parmesan. Olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing
Snack: Peanut butter celery and carrots
Dinner: Green salad with pecans, red onion and cucumber, sliced kiwi and apples, brown rice cooked with vegetable bouillon, steamed artichokes, and a nice homemade whole-wheat roll. 

Day 4
Breakfast: Berry smoothie and whole-grain toast
Snack: Green pea guacamole and chips
Lunch: Dried lentils and pea soup
Snack: Cucumber and cheese slices
Dinner: Steamed broccoli, orange baked chicken with brown rice, and pear and apple slices.
