A bread less day?

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Sometimes a change in routine can really throw you off your eating plan, but I know many of us planned well and stuck to the program. So great job to all of you who hung in there!

One way to give your weight lost a boost is to have a bread less day. Bread eater or those of you who rely a little heavily on starchy carbs like bread, rice and potato's to name a few of the heavy carb may benefit from controlling your carb in take and making different carbohydrate choices. This does not mean a low carb diet. I have many bread less, rice less, etc. days and still have a good amount of carbs. There are 27 carbs in a apple, about 19 in a 1/2 cp of grapes. So give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
Here's a couple of pictures of breakfast(1 whole egg 3 egg whites, spinach, etc) and lunch (Turkey Burger w/peppers & Broccoli) on a bread less day. The snack was an apple and almond butter. Dinner was fish with 2 veggies, and Greek yogurt for a snack

Planning

This is a busy week for many of us and in order to stick to our eating plan, planning is a must. You must think ahead a day or two if possible. Having a couple of chicken breast and or pot of bean/lentil soups can come in very handy. Personally making a big salad and having tuna and chicken around works for me. If I'm in a hurry I chop up the salad and chicken in small pieces and roll it in a Whole wheat wrap, throw an oz of nuts and raisins in a baggy and I'm set for a few hours.

So if you are eating from the Super Foods list I provided, I'm sure you have already come up with several ways to make good choices even when you are away from home and in a hurry.

Check in and let me know what you're eating.

Plan for success or expect to fail!
