I have been doing some more reading on nutrition and health and have decided to try something new. Instead of eating 3 large meals each day, I am going to try 6 small meals. I don't really want to call this a tip, because I haven't tried it yet. However, from what I have read, it makes sense.
Here is an example:
Meal 1--1/3 c. dry oatmeal cooked in 2/3 c water topped with 2 T ground flax seed and 3 T unsweetened applesauce; 2 scrambled eggs with tomatoes and spinach, seasoned with salt and pepper
Meal 2-1 small apple with 2 T natural nut butter
Meal 3-1 1/2 c mixed steamed broccoli and peppers, season with salt and pepper; 4 oz grilled fish, season with lemon juice
Meal 4-Protein shake
Meal 5-1/2 c cooked brown rice, steamed asparagus and brussel sprouts, 4 oz grilled chicken
Meal 6-1/2 c keifer with 1/2 c chopped apple
By the end of the day, I am supposed to have 12 cups of water to drink. It is definitely going to take some more planning on my part, but I want to do the best I can to take care of myself for my family. I will let you know how it goes.
