I need ideas to make my meal plan for today higher in calories and protein...

[doll_parts85]

Heres what I have planned:

Weetabix w/ rice milk (120+70 cal, 4 fat, 5 protein)

2 cups stir fry veggies (broccoli, yellow squash, zuchini, cauliflower, black beans, corn, red and green peppers, carrots) (140 cal, .5 fat, 5 protein)

Veggie burger (70 cal, .5 fat, 13 protein)

Two slices of 7 grain sprouted bread (160 cal, 1 fat, 8 protein)

Nature's Path Organic Oatmeal (150 cal, 3 fat, 5 protein)

5 strawberries (50 cal)


but it comes out to only 760 calories, 11 fat, and 36 protein! grr...its a lot of food though? I don't know what else I could add...maybe a salad? spinach, cucumbers, tomatos, carrots, green peppers..a little olive oil and lemon juice? I don't know how many cals that would be...hmm...

Have a pizza.

 

[doll_parts85]

Have a pizza.

the soy cheese I have is gross I guess I could make a veggie pizza without cheese? Crust, sauce, and veggies?

 

[hotguy1234]

I look at your meal plan, and I am thankful I eat meat

It is way easier when you can just grab a burger and get all the calories and required things for the day to boost things

There ya go. i was told Mozzarella is the best "regular" kind of cheese you can have too. It's better then cheddar or colby and such.

 

[hotguy1234]

LOL so healthy.

your body needs some things like that

If you don't get any fat in your diet that is not good for you either, because your body actually needs to have some fat.

Anyone that says you can't have any fat at all in your diet is not telling the truth.


But in my case weight is not an issue and I don't carry any extra fat on my body so I need to get some in my diet

 

[Tati]

you need to add some Edamame into the mix, sooooo yummy and so good for you too.

oh and also almonds, good to snack on a handful, fills you up and good for you.

I know you need fat...but healthy fat is better than regular fat...

 

[doll_parts85]

why not?

Master said I can't...they're too many calories

 

[hotguy1234]

I know you need fat...but healthy fat is better than regular fat...

vary your diet and don't eat the same thing all the time, and a person will be healthier in general.

Then you can have some things you enjoy.



I guess I say I will have a burger if I want it, but then I am picky. I will buy high quality meat cuts so they are better for you. I will buy a burger that is made from steak quality meat, not just ground beef. Then you are eating a more healthy burger.


High quality food makes a lot of different to improving a diet

How is your exercise plan going? Still working out at least a 1/2 an hour a day?

 

[Tati]

Master said I can't...they're too many calories

Tell your "master" he doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about...they carry the good fat, and the ARE good for you, as long at you don't eat more than a handful each day.
Almonds




Throughout history, almonds have been enjoyed not only for their delicate, versatile flavor and great crunch, but also their legendary healthful properties. The Almond Board of California’s nutrition research program has helped quantify almonds’ nutritious profile and health benefits. For example:

Almonds are nutritionally dense – a quality emphasized in the government’s Dietary Guidelines. Independent analyses show that almonds are the most nutritionally dense nut, whether compared calorie per calorie or ounce per ounce. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 encourage Americans to choose nutritionally dense foods – that is, to get the most nutrition possible out of the calories you eat. A one-ounce, 160-calorie serving of almonds, or about a handful, is an excellent source of vitamin E and magnesium, and a good source of fiber. It also offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, protein, potassium, calcium, phosphorous and iron.
Eating a daily handful of almonds a day may lower LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. In a clinical trial published in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation, men and women who ate one daily ounce of almonds for a month lowered their LDL cholesterol by 4.4 percent. Those who ate two daily ounces of almonds lowered their LDL cholesterol even more – by 9.4 percent – and maintained their weight.
Eating almonds may help maintain or even lose weight. A 2003 study in the International Journal of Obesity found that adding a daily ration of almonds to a low-calorie diet enhanced weight loss, as well as significantly improved risk factors associated with heart disease, when compared to a low-fat, low-calorie diet. Researchers cited almonds’ heart-healthy monounsaturated fat as being very satiating, helping satisfy the appetite and prevent patients from overeating.

would almond butter work? I'm allowed nut butters

 

[Tati]

wait a minute if you threw a handful of almonds into a food processor and whirred it up until it churned into butter, THAT would be OK to eat? But you can't eat the 12 almonds whole? This makes not a lick of sense to me.

Add some chicken to your diet, or fish. Maybe not with this list of food you have now but mix it up.
