Im 12 weeks out and an example of my daily menu is:

Breakfast = 1/2 cup of skim milk or 1/2 cup cottage cheese (both have protein)

Couple hours later = a couple pieces of turkey Jerky and an ounce of trail mix with soy nuts (all has protein)

lunch = 6 or 7 cold shrimp or a couple of ounces of a lean meat with a half piece of cheese (Protein protein)

Couple hours later = about 10 little yellow tomatoes with some bleu cheese crumbles with a tablespoon of olive oil or some black raspberries (gotta get some fiber)

dinner = tilapia filet (takes about an hour to eat)

snack = an ounce or two of berries or a little slice of watermelon or some trail mix

All day long though I drink hot Decaf green tea. I dont eat any breads, rice or crackers at all. I get my carbs from fruits or veggies or trail mix usually. I am beginning to juice also so that I can incorporate more of the nutrients that I dont have the room for from fruits and veggies.
