One of the first things people cut out on a diet are the whites: breads, rices, and pastas. But if you look closely at the box nutrition labels, you might find a product or two that may fit into your menu. I told you all about Mike's breakfast: 1 cup Greek Style yogurt, 3.5 walnuts, 1/2 pint raspberries, 1 cup sliced strawberries, an Elations drink and a banana right after his morning workout. Lunch, yesterday, was at work and the cafe served aGreekk salad (low fat dressing), chicken breasts with tomatoes and roasted vegetables. This was easy to make a good choice. Afternoon workout started with a ten minute warm up on his Precor treadmill followed by Spri exercuff, functional trainer and floorwork. Dinner was delicious and took about 10 minutes to make after the water boiled for the pasta. We used whole wheat pasta whereas 2 oz was 200 calories, 8 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber. We chose a 1/2 cup of Arribiata sauce that was 70 calories, 2 grams fiber. Isauteedd spinach with 1 tablespoon chopped garlic, 6 oz chickenbreastt and a 1/2 cup of butternut squash. It was so filling and easy too. Overall calories for the day just under 1800 calories with his two yogurt snacks and an apple. 95 grams of protein 44 grams of fiber. That is a big day! Nicee going Mike
