 Here's some IR diet ideas>>>>
I've been asked about a few ideas for IR diet meals: Here's what I do-
Breakfast suggestions: (If I feel like cooking)
-2 egg beater omelet with lotso veggies
-egg and cheese wrap (1 small tortilla, wheat if poss.)
-homemade egg, english muffin and slice of lowfat cheese
-Uncle Ben's B-fast bowl (ham,egg and cheese, or eggs and salsa)
B-fast (if I'm in a hurry)
-sm. bowl of cereal
-zone bar
-container of fat free yogurt
Lunch
-Salad with a little lowfat cheese or meat
-one of those little tuna salad kits w/crackers
-bowl of soup
-fat free cottage cheese and fruit
-sandwich, on lite wheat bread
Eating out: an egg mcmuffin is balanced, and if I have to have a burger, I just tear off part of the top of the bun. Watch condiments they use, like BBQ sauce, mayo and stuff...they tend to overdo it.
For dinner, I pretty much eat whatever I'm making for the DH...I just read the food labels and balance out my carbs and proteins, and make my servings accordingly.
I just try to make the healthiest choices I can make. A handful of carrots is always better than a candy bar, ya know? Beware of a few foods that are higher in carbs....rice, mac and cheese, potatoes, corn (my two faves, of course).
I do not deny myself anything. I find that if a food becomes forbidden, you'll want it all the more. If I do crave something "sinful", I allow myself two bites...that's enough to taste. Eat what you like. Some fat free stuff is really good, some of it, I'd rather lick my cleaning bucket! If I don't like the fat free version, I buy the lowest fat version I can stand and watch my portion. You will not stay on a program very long if you don't like what you're eating! Hope this helps, and sorry its so long!!
