I started eating salads* for lunch (the caveat being that my “salads” include a 6-7oz serving of salmon crumbled into it) and it fills me up so much that I pretty much just eat it as my one proper meal a day - though I do supplement it with a morning/afternoon snack of a banana, two oranges and an apple and a evening snack of yogurt with granola (+ we protein powder if I worked out that day).Do not discount the value of a salad for breakfast. Not kidding
My “recipe” is:
- 2 cups mixed greens (~50 cal)
- 1tbsp dried cranberries (~35 cal)
- quarter of a large tomato, diced (~10 cal)
- quarter of a bell pepper (~10 cal)
- 2oz cheese (~200cal)
- 1 hard boiled egg (~80cal)
- 6-7oz baked salmon, crumbled (~350cal)
- 2 tbsp low-calory Italian dressing (~40cal)
I’ve lost like 5 pounds in 3 weeks (~213 to ~207) once I started eating these salads simply because they’re so damn filling that I don’t really get the urge to snack on junk food throughout the day. My current goal is to get under 200 (and eventually settle at 180-185 which is a healthy weight for my height).
