Example of weight loss meals

6:00am  Fitness Training

7:30am  2 eggs scrambled in non-stick pan with chopped green pepper and onion, 1 piece of wheat toast dry, small fruit cup of berries, melon, and pineapple, 1 cup of coffee black.

10:30am  10 almonds, 1 apple.

1:00pm  Large spinach salad with cucumber, celery, grilled chicken breast, and 1/2 table spoon of Italian dressing.

4:00pm  Handful of walnuts, 1 orange.

6:30pm  Grilled flank steak, large portion of steamed asparagus, small side salad with Romaine lettuce, tomato, and small amount of vinegrette dressing.

9:00pm  4 celery sticks with small amount of natural peanut butter.

Some other final :

- Drink a large glass of water with each meal and snack.

- Pre-cook and prepackage your meals and snacks on one day for the rest of the week.  I usually do this on Sunday.  This is MUCH easier if you eat the same meals each day.

- ..Keep a food journal and track your weight loss progress.  You should be losing about 2 pounds per week.  If you’re losing less than that, you probably need to tighten it up.  If you’re losing more than that, it might be time to add that third snack.

- If it comes in a wrapper or other packaging, don’t eat it
