Default SB Pros (Judy) Menu help!

Hi again!!

I am on my second day of Phase 1. Yesterday I stuck with Phase 1 foods but I dont think I proportioned right. But I still had no carbs/sguar. Anywhoo I have planned my meals for today and I am a little worried that its not enough calories and its too much protein! I cant fit anymore food in without making my protein so high! Ok so here it is..

Breakfast:
2 whole hardboiled eggs; 2egg whites

Snack 1:
2 slices of Smoked tavern ham with 2 wedges of laughing cow cheese
1/2 protein shake

Lunch:
Salad lettuce and spinach
fat free shredded cheddar cheese
homemade dressing (white vinegar, 1.2 tbsp olive oil, spices)
4 tomatoes
4 cucumbers
2 eggwhites

Snack 2:
Same as snack 1

Dinner:
4 0z. of Chicken
1/2 tbsp of olive oil
asparagus
1/2 onion
1 cup of broccoli

Here are the totals for the nutrition info:

Calories: 1170 Fat: 40g Carbs: 38g Sugars: 15g Fiber: 9g Protein: 152g

How does this look for Phase 1??

Ok Breakfast, you need to add some veggies in there.
Snack I would reduce to 1 wedge Laughing cow
Lunch, I would sub some lean protein like Fish or Chicken instead of the Eggwhites.
For snack 2 instead of more cheese you could do a Celery Stick with some natural Peanutbutter?

And where is your Dessert after Dinner?
Have you tried the Ricotta Cream? it is delicious!

Judy, please feel free to chime in.

Yes, I decided two wedges is too much. I was just trying to add more in to get more calories! Thank you for your advice. I just get nervous adding in more protein becuase its already so high!

Look at the meal plan guide and then look at your menu....

SBD Meal Plan Chart
How To Adapt Your Meal Plan- Phase I

The South Beach Diet? is designed so that you can easily swap meals and ingredients. If you don't like eggs for breakfast, have low-fat cottage cheese or lean meat instead. Not a fish lover? Then choose lean beef or poultry. In Phase 1 of the diet, you can eat as many proteins and vegetables as you like, plus fats like olive oil. Fruit and starches aren't allowed until Phase 2. Here's a look at some general eating guidelines. For specific food choices, check out the Phase 1 Foods to Enjoy & Avoid list.

BREAKFAST
Protein: Quantity is not limited. Start with a 2 oz. portion, eat slowly, go back for seconds if still hungry.

Vegetables: Minimum 1/2 cup or 6-8 oz. tomato or vegetable juice.

Fruit: None

Starch: None

Milk/Dairy: 2 cups allowed daily (including yogurt)

Fat: 1 tsp mayonnaise, trans-free margarine, or oil (optional)



SNACK
Snacks are required. Choose a protein, vegetable, fat-free plain yogurt, or nuts/seeds. A snack that combines protein (1 oz.) and vegetables is encouraged.

LUNCH
Protein: Quantity is not limited. Start with a 3 oz. portion, eat slowly, go back for seconds if still hungry.

Vegetables: Minimum 2 cups.
We encourage you to include a serving of beans (1/3-1/2 cup) as part of your vegetables.


Fruit: None

Starch: None

Milk/Dairy: 2 cups allowed daily (including yogurt)

Fat: 1 Tbsp mayonnaise, trans-free margarine or oil, or 2 Tbsp salad dressing



SNACK
Snacks are required. Choose a protein, vegetable, fat-free plain yogurt, or nuts/seeds. A snack that combines protein (1 oz.) and vegetables is encouraged.

DINNER
Protein: Quantity is not limited. Start with a 3 oz. portion, eat slowly, go back for seconds if still hungry.

Vegetables:Minimum 2 cups.
We encourage you to include a serving of beans (1/3-1/2 cup) as part of your vegetables.

Fruit: None

Starch: None

Milk/Dairy: 2 cups allowed daily (including yogurt)

Fat: 1 Tbsp mayonnaise, trans-free margarine or oil, or 2 Tbsp salad dressing



DESSERT / EVENING SNACK
Desserts are optional. Enjoy some of your Sweet Treat allowance, a dessert, or any of the snack choices.

SWEET TREATS
Sweet Treats are products that contain sugar alcohols. You can enjoy them throughout the day to satisfy your sweet tooth ? just limit yourself to roughly 75 calories worth per day to avoid any GI distress.
See a list of Sweet Treat options here

BEVERAGES
Diet, decaffeinated, sugar-free drinks are not limited. You can enjoy caffeinated coffee or diet sodas with caffeine added, but limit to 1 - 2 servings per day.


You need to use this to l;earn how to eat the SBD way....veggies are big part of this plan and your breakfast is all eggs....beans/legumes also.
Frittatas are a great thing to make with veggies, then you can have enough for a few meals.
Also, your snack is all protein....**see the chart**
