FOOD! Sticking with my meal plan and it's so helpful to have it already planned out ahead of time. It's like my own personal cheat-sheet that tells me what I can eat! I've done the homework and it will only get easier each week to know what exactly I can eat to stay on track and see the results I'm after. For breakfast I had my usual Vegan Chocolate Shakeology and used about 6 oz of cold coffee, ice, 4 oz of unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 banana. 21 Day Fix approved and that scratches off one red (protein) and one purple (fruit) for the day. Per the Fix guidelines, I'm also counting my daily 4 oz of almond milk as one yellow. Now, If I was concerned about "wasting" a yellow container in my Shakeology I would certainly just use all coffee or use water instead. I might try that later this week if I feel like I need to chew more calories rather than drink them. All a learning process!
Lunch is pictured below and it was filling and yummy. Going Meatless Monday today! Firm Tofu (red), garbanzo beans (yellow), avocado (blue) and broccoli and roasted cabbage (green). I was actually surprised when I put it all on the plate how much food it actually was. And I still have plenty of containers for an afternoon snack and a full dinner. This is not meant to be a starvation diet and it certainly doesn't feel like one! If you're like me and you suffer from portion distortion, this program is simple and effective and does the trick. If it fits in the container, you can eat it!
Here is what my lunch looked like today:
