Big Bowl of Lunch
Here's my lunch for today. I eat huge salads with meat at least half the days of the week.... I like how they fill me up (the serving size on this was a medium-sized steel bowl, not a dainty side salad!) but don't over-stuff my system.
They are also going to be 'allowed' as part of my next 3 months of eating - I am joining up with some of my female relatives in a 12 week "Body for Life" challenge. Some of us want to gain muscle, some want to lose weight, all of us would like to just see what will happen within those 84 days.
The best part of a meal like this is that on "the plan" I will be eating something like this (nutritionally speaking, not necessarily the same volume!) 6 times per day. That's a lot of food, but to build muscle, I definitely need it.
Here's the ingredients and the nutrition of that salad (for the record, to fit in with true BFL ratios one of either the avocado or the flax oil should be omitted to bring the ratios down lower, to 35/30/35):
3 cups shredded romaine lettuce (or 1/2 bag of "classic romaine" mix)
1 chopped bell pepper
1/2 small diced avocado
3oz total cooked lean meat (in this case leftover chicken and catfish)
1 tablespoon of raisins
...dressed with:
1 tablespoon light dressing or marinade (25 calories per 2T serving)
1 teaspoon (flax) oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 lime, juiced
salt & pepper to taste
