Meal plan for phase 2

Inspired by the LiveFit meal plan, just more adapted to my lifestyle.  Obviously, adjustments can be made to this plan if necessary.  Keep in mind that it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to pick the highest calorie option from each meal.

(calorie counts are approximate)

*

Breakfast: 1 slice Ezekiel bread with 2 tbs almond butter-250 calories

OR Protein Smoothie-about 300 calories

OR Oatmeal with protein powder, water, and stevia-200 calories

OR 4 Egg whites with vegetables and cheese-200 calories

*

Lunch:

Tyson chicken breast on 1 slice Ezekiel bread with 1 slice cheese and 1 tsp mustard-280 calories

OR Protein bar and an apple-260 calories

OR Lunch meat on 1 slice Ezekiel bread with gourmaise and cheese-280 calories

OR Large salad with lean protein and oil and vinegar-about 300 calories

 *

Afternoon Snack:

2 tbs almond butter with celery-200 calories

OR Almonds-200 calories

OR Sweet potato with cinnamon and stevia-180 calories

OR unlimited fruit

 *

Dinner:

1 serving of lean meat with unlimited non-starchy vegetables-350-500 calories (depending on how much was eaten earlier that day, eat more or less to meet calorie goals)

 *

Evening snack:

OR Apple with 2 tbs almond butter-260 calories

OR Almonds-200 calories

*

ON CARDIO DAYS:

Pre-Workout: Larabar, banana, or almond milk and fruit

Post-Workout: Luna protein bar, Clif builder’s bar, small protein smoothie, fruit with nuts, 4 or 5 egg whites with veggies, or oatmeal with skim milk,

*

Total approx. calorie count for non-cardio days: 1400-1450

Total approx. calorie count for cardio days: 1600-1750

So the other day…

I was at the gym, finishing my workout, and out of the corner of my eye, I noticed some chick in the mirror with really great legs.  I was instantly annoyed with this skinny-legged girl…and then I noticed that it was my own reflection. 

I’m becoming the type of girl that I’ve always been jealous of.
