Day 1

Day 1's Recipes and Workout:

Started with my favorite healthy breakfast scrambled eggs with turkey bacon: 1/4 cup egg white substitute, 1/4 cup reduced fat milk, 1 egg, salt and pepper to taste.  Whisk together.  Fry or microwave two slices of turkey bacon, then crumble and add to mixture. Scramble mixture until eggs are cooked and most of the milk is cooked off. 184 calories.

Lunch wasn't the healthiest, but it was within my calories and was my only carb for the day and for the next 21 days since my husband and I are going back on the detox diet starting tomorrow.  So, two slices of Fazoli's cheese pizza.  580 calories.

Snack: 1 cup of Jello Mousse tempations in caramel with 1/2 cup of strawberries. 84 calories

Dinner was the big meal:

Steamed tilipia (just the pre seasoned kind you steam in the package) tomato, basil, and garlic flavored 170 calories. 

Green beans with carmalized shallots and soy sauce.  Thinly slice shallots and heat over medium heat along with a teaspoon or two of EVOO, then add a couple of tablespoons of light soy sauce and about 1/4 cup water.  Add fresh green beans with the ends cut, about 2 large handfuls and allow to sit with the liquid and onions until the sauce thickens and the green breans are the desired tenderness.  We like them a bit crunchy, so between 5-10 minutes.    1/2 the recipe 135 calories.

And finally Creole Stuffed Mushrooms.  Chop 1/4 onion (red if you have it, white if you don't), 1/4 red pepper, and the removed caps from large portabello mushrooms.  Saute the onions in 1 teaspoon of EVOO for a few minutes before adding the bell peppers and mushrooms.  Then add a drained, thawed package of chopped spinach and saute the mixture for a few minutes.  Add 1 piece of toasted wheat bread crumbled, or 8-10 brown rice crackers crumbled.  Let cook long enough for the bread to absorb any extra liquid and sprinkle with creole seasoning.  Then pack mixture into mushrooms and cook on 350 for 30 minutes or until mushrooms are done. Makes 6 mushrooms, 2 mushrooms is 142 calories.

If I have an evening snack I'll try to keep it simple such as sliced fruit and around 100 calories.
