SlimChick's Journal, 19 August 2009

Some plans:
1.) MUFA* and/or Omega-3 at every meal
2.) 1/4 scoop protein powder at every meal and for 1 snack
3.) Fresh veggie, fruit, or mixed salad at every meal / snack

Health enhancers at breafast today:
1.) MUFAS & Healthy Fats:
-1/3 cup soy milk, .3 g MUFA
-1/3 tbsp peanut butter, 1.3 g MUFA
Bonus: Omega-3's from the plus! tortilla

2.) Veggies/Fruits
-1 carrot
-half a handful of raspberries
-some canned apples (not as good as fresh)
3.) Protein enhancers:
-1/4 scoop protein powder
-1 egg white

Lunch Health Enhancers:
Mufa: 4 almonds (actually about the equivalent amount of almond slices sprinkled over my meal)
Fruit: cranberry
Vegetables/legumes: spinach and beans in the dinner
Protein: paneer + protein powder 1/4 scoop

Dinner:
Chicken livers in half tablespoon olive oil (fried)
Around 6+ grams MUFAS (chicken livers and olive oil high in monounsaturated fat percentage)


Discovery: Eggs are almost 100% monounsaturated fat. And studies show they don't actually contribute to bad cholesterol. So I was probably stupid to throw away the yolks.

*(monunsaturated fat) as recommended by Flat Belly diet.
Flat belly diet recommends ~1600 calories a day, 400 per meal and 400 for a snack. I think I'll try to keep my intake below this, but so far I really like the advice in my mom's Flat Belly book.
