My Menu Blog

Menu Blog

I do push the limits of the food budget 1300-1500 calories per day vs. the typical 800-1200 quoted by most doctors. I do this for 4 reasons:

1) I think that they (the doctors) under estimate the amount of protein people need. The higher I keep my protein the better weight comes off.

2) I lift weights and feel I need the extra protein

3) I want to keep my metabolism in as high a gear as I can

4) based on my target weight 190 lbs. I won’t have to make many changes when I get there.

Key for my Menu

First, one of my key tools is Vitol Egg protein powder.

Second is packing all my meal in 8oz plastic containers so I don’t have to guess.

Third, we make most of the items below in a big batch on Sunday and uses them during the week.

Fourth, sometimes you have to eat out, when I do I stick to fish or soups/stews they are easier to digest.

Fifth, I avoid directly adding carbs because they make my hungry between meals.
