I decided that sharing what I eat on a weekly basis might be a bit much (not to mention pretty repetitive), so these will now be occasional posts.
My menu for today:
*Breakfast: Cheerios mixed with some Kashi Go Lean crunch, topped with diced mangos and strawberries; unsweetened almond milk. (Some people look at me like I'm crazy when I talk about mixing cereal, but this is something I advise often to cut down on sugary cereal intake. I suggest that parents select a whole grain cereal with 5 grams sugar or less per serving and then mix in a small handful of their kiddos fun cereal--like Fruit Loops--along with some fruit. Eventually just fruit may be needed. You would be surprised how many of my adult patients I discuss this with too--there are many folks who never gave up their Cinnamon Toast Crunch in the morning!)
*Snack: Soy Au Lait from my favorite coffee joint (Green Bean).
*Lunch: Chickpea salad sandwich on whole wheat bread with mustard and arugula; 4 oz low sodium tomato juice and an apple; water. Just a note about the sandwich--this is a yummy alternative to egg salad. I mashed up roasted Garbanzo beans with an avocado, diced carrots, garlic, fresh grated ginger and curry powder. I took the fancy pic yesterday, today at work my sandwich was a little less glamorous.
*Afternoon snack #1: Plain Non-fat Greek yogurt with a little bit of granola; seltzer water
*Afternoon snack #2 (I could not wait for dinner!) Almond Coconut KIND bar.
*Dinner: Baked Salmon (a la Justin) and roasted broccoli and butternut squash (with turmeric!); seltzer water. Followed by a few animal cookies leftover by Jasper.
