I start my day with homemade granola. It is full of nuts and seeds, plus oatmeal, brown rice flakes and more. I eat 1/3 cup with a handful of frozen berries, half a banana and almond milk. It keeps me full until lunch, it has protein and healthy fats from the nuts and seeds.
For lunches I like a salad with dried fruits (cranberries, cut up apricots), sun dried tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts and avocado. The tomatoes and artichokes have enough liquid that extra dressing is not needed. I do have to add meat or seafood to my salad, otherwise it upsets my digestion just having lots of leafy greens. If I have goat feta, I will add it to the salad too.
Or I eat left overs for my lunch.
Today lunch is chili. Lots of vegies, lean meat and beans.
The university I attend has a culinary program and I often will eat dinner for lunch there.
Dinners are just about portion control.
My downfall are kettle cooked potato chips. I have gained 30 pounds over the past 2.5 years, mostly attributed to chips and lack of exercise. I am working on the exercise side of things, and have not bought any chips in 2018.
