Summer time eating plan

July 29, 2010 by Jaime · Leave a Comment 

This is how I’m currently eating.  It’s tapered to summer foods like berries and salads, which I love.  I’ve also switched around my complex carbs (rice, pasta, oatmeal).  I’m really enjoying this diet, even though it’s fairly consistent through the week. I try to give myself a 40:40:20 (protein: carbs: fats) split to help me build muscle and give me lots of energy.  I usually end up eating about 47% protein with is just fine with me.  You will want to eat at least the same amount of protein in grams as your body weight in lbs or more (+30 – 40g).  So if you’re 130lbs you’ll want to eat at least 130g of protein a day up to 170g.  I eat over 160g of protein because I’m so active (so if you’re a boxer or athlete this may be wise for you to do as well).

Healthy, delicious Indian Bhurtha (eggplant)

July 20, 2010 by Jaime · Leave a Comment 

I decided to try and make a health version of Bhurtha.  I changed the spice amount a bit and MAN did I score on taste points!  I usually serve this dish with chicken and 1/4c of whole wheat couscous!  I LOVE couscous although Dave thinks it taste like a cereal box.  But then the man lives off of beer and pork chops!

Apple Drop Scones

These are my special treat… Tastes like I’m eating something that’s bad for me.  And with only 40 cal and 5g or carbs you can’t go wrong…  By the way, if you haven’t noticed I use my magic bullet blender for most of my recipes so I’d suggest you buy one. Read more
