The MASTER food plan: Go ahead and take a shot!
Hey guys,
I'm reworking my diet a little bit and I wanted some feedback. I've been trying to eat more vegetables and leafy greens, but the thing is, I think I might be missing out on some of the better foods for a healthy diet. Right now here's my current daily vegetable intake: Broccoli (one normal head) Red Onions (1/4 large onion) Cauliflower (1/2 cup) Brussel Sprouts (3 to 4) Spinach (2 cups) Jicama (1/4 of a medium sized jicama) 1 or 2 bananas In addition to that, I eat whole grains... and ONLY whole grains: 3 cups raw oats 4 slices sprouted, organic, 9 grain ezekiel's "food for life" bread Refried beans (1 cup) Throw in about 1/2 cup of mixed raw nuts, 6-7 cups of milk, and a tin of tuna fish w/mayo and that's my diet. What do you guys think? I've been experimenting with 10 grain/whole wheat pancake mix and brown rice and split pea mixes, too. I was thinking about other vegetables and grains to add... specifically, what are the vegetable power hitters you guys would recommend? |

Re: The MASTER food plan: Go ahead and take a shot!
6 - 7 cups of milk a day? Based on the other items on your list, I will assume that this is non-fat milk. If so, that is great - milk is a great source of protein, calcium and vitamin D. The foods you list seem very clean. The only thing that I see that may be lacking is a good source of vit C and A. Maybe add some citrus fruit for vit C and some carrots or yams for vit A or some red peppers for both.
If you are wondering how you are doing on general nutients or # of calorie, try pumping your diet into fitday.com for a few days. It is free and relatively easy to use once you enter in your individual "staples". |
