My Meal Plan

The following is what has worked for me in regards to my eating habits and meals:

Breakfast (6:00 AM):  Bowl of Cereal, topped off with fresh blueberries and rice milk

After Morning Work-out Meal (8:45 AM):  Egg White Veggie Omelette & vitamins

Mid Morning Snack (11:15 AM):  Protein Shake & Nuts

Pre-Lunch work-out snack (1:00 PM):  Banana & Fiber One Bar

Lunch (1:45 PM):  Kobe Hamburger(Fuddruckers) or Chicken Burrito Bowl(Chipotle) & vitamins

Mid Afternoon Snack (4:30 PM):  Fruit & Almonds

Dinner:  (7:00 PM):  Lean meat or fish, black beans, brown rice

Throughout the day I am constantly drinking water and avoiding "junk" food.  If I go for an evening work-out, I will eat another meal in addition to having dinner.  That meal will be scrambled eggs.

These are just some ideas that I have picked up from books like:

• The Abs Diet
• The Belly Off Diet
• Your Best Body at 40+

The one thing they all had in common...eat every 2 to 3 hours, control your portions, and cut out the bad fats and junk food.  The books went into more detail and offered more ideas.  I modified for myself and kept it fun while doing it.  I enjoy the snacks and meals I eat and I believe that is what helps me stay on track too.
