A healthy diet is critical for the human body. For many, including myself, if provides one with a sense of control. In addition, a healthy diet can provide the body with many benefits. The sample diet I have below is for maintaining weight, not for weight loss. It is to provide both comfort and stability. If you have any sensitivities or restrictions, omit or substitute some of the foods.
For 5 days of the week follow this 2,000 calories diet
Breakfast: Oatmeal with Fruit
Lunch: Taco Salad (Use Tofu if Vegetarian/Vegan)
Dinner: Turkey or Veggie Burger on a Whole Wheat Bun with a Side Salad and a Baked Sweet Potato
Snack One: Handful of Nuts
Snack Two: Frozen Yogurt
Healthy Restaurant Options to Substitute Main Meals with:
Panera: Half Roasted Turkey & Avocado BLT and Half Classic Cafe Salad with Asian Sesame Vinaigrette
Outback: Victoria's 6-ounce Filet Mignon with sides of Asparagus and House Salad
McDonalds: Egg McMuffin
For 2 days of the week, eat whatever you want! Try to spread these days out (i.e no consecutive cheat days).
