agentcorona Posted August 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I frequent another message board where the people talk about the 80/20 rule (80% diet, 20% exercise). Sounds logical in terms of losing weight and being healthy. We all know diet is a huge factor in these. What are your favorite meals for healthy eating? I thought I'd share mine below: Breakfast Foods: Spinach and egg white scramble Oatmeal with a small amount of peanut butter mixed in Fruit (blueberries, 1 apple, 1 banana, grapes, or one grapefruit) and a hard boiled egg Whole grain toast (1 slice) w/peanut butter and fruit Turkey sausage on one English muffin w/a small amount of mozz. cheese as a topping Lunch/Dinner: Spinach or Romaine salads with chicken or tuna (toppings I like to add are yellow/orange peppers, black olives, avocados, corn, carrots, beans, or other flavorful veggies so I don't have to add dressing) Grilled chicken (with lots of sweet basil and thyme) with veggies and a piece of fruit Veggie stir fry (chicken can be added) made in EVOO Lentil soup Homemade chicken soup (bone-in chicken, potato, carrots, celery, cabbage, onions with squeezed lemon) Desserts - YES, DESSERT :D Plain non-fat Greek yogurt w/honey and fruit Sliced mangos with chili pepper Small amount of sorbet Fruit cocktail (non-canned) - grapes, oranges, sliced apples and banana, etc. Snacks: Baby carrots Sugar snap peas Cherry tomatoes Almonds (small handful) Dried fruit w/nuts Beverages: WATER Tea (hot or cold with no sugar added) Fat free milk These are just my favorite go-to meals. Please post yours! I'd like to get new ideas for meals :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitch588 Posted August 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2014 One of my favorite healthy breakfast dishes is freshly sliced avacado with sauted spinach and over easy egg on toast...no need for salt or any other condiments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted August 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 7, 2014 For breakfast I love cottage cheese (I found some 100 calorie tubs) mixed with blueberries or other fruit and slivered almonds. Also scrambled eggs with lots of veggies, oatmeal with fruit and nuts, toast with cheese, etc. (Not all a once!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysweetness Posted August 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I love roasted or grilled veggies, and whatever is available I put in the oven on high heat with a little olive oil ( or the spray ) salt and pepper....it works great with everything. if those are in my fridge and ready to go, I can throw them in a wrap, mix with whole wheat pasta or top a salad, make an omelet or add to some chicken. once you roast little grape tomatoes, you'll be hooked.

snorkelman Posted August 7, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I love making french fries - 2 ingredients: potato and oil Here is a pic of a typical breakfast: eggs (these were made at the office using a microwave) and fries (using my T-fal frier). http://i39.tinypic.com/t5hsb6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
