Hi Steve,

I recall the early months on the diet and then trying to find new foods to incorporate.... I can say after 2 1/2 yrs, I feel I have enough variety I do not worry about getting bored with it.

Breakfast:
Protein - either Eggs (free range, Omega 3's) or turkey burgers (patties).
Also have some steamed veggies (brocolli, collards, green cabbage or aspargus) and bowl of frozen fruit I left thaw while cooking/showering (typically blueberries... but also blackberries or cherries).

Snacks:
Raisons, dried cranberries, walnuts, almonds (moderation), dried blueberries, apple, pears, carrot sticks, celery, plums....

Lunch:
Weekdays either leftovers or a big salad with either tuna/salmon from packets/grilled chicken or turket

Dinner:
Only eat dinner half the nights... usually not very hungry that I eat dinner. Do a lot of chicken, fish or turkey.

For chicken and turkey - love ground cumin as a spice while I grill it. Two main dishes, either buy bean sprouts as a substitute for rice and treat as stir fry with 3-4 other veggies (onions, brocolli, red/green peppers, black olives, kale, celery, collards... whatever in the mood for) or I buy a safe tomato paste product and stir grilled chicken into this and add several veggies.

I use a lot of spices with cooking... like pepper blends, basil, oregeno, parsley flakes to name a few.

Fish... always prepare a lemon/lime sause and love basil on top. Really like tilapia in this manner.

All for now... happy cooking!!!

Tim
