For meal 4, I did 4 oz. boneless, skinless chicken thighs, with roasted beets and red onions, alongside ginger sweet potato lentil stew.

[lcredeur1Participant]

I’m questioning if you can have chicken thighs? I don’t think it’s on our list and it maybe too high in fat?

[s_burgess5Participant]

Oooh this sounds good!

Thanks for showing this alternative meal plan. I’m new to all this and so I’m following everything exactly as suggested. This showed me how to open up to the exchange list. I see you got everything perfectly substituted. Great job!

Sharing my dinner for tonight. I’m on Meal Plan 1 for reference.
1 lime, juiced (can also use some zest if you wish)
1T low sodium tamari
1/2 tsp powdered ginger
10ml avocado oil (for searing or if you wish to cook oil free can swap this fat for s 2oz fresh avocado as garnish)
2 good quality ahi tuna steaks (mine were big, about 8-9oz each-feeding not just myself but my hubby)
black sesame seeds
1/2 C jasmine rice (made a big batch in my ziroshi rice cooker)
handful of spinach
splash of HIGH QUALITY balsamic (I used turmeric white balsamic)

Place tamari, lime juice and powdered ginger in gallon zip lock and swish to combine. Add tuna steaks and let marinate on counter for about 20 minutes. Remove steaks from bag, discard marinade, pat steaks dry. Season each side of tuna with a pinch of salt, generous fresh ground pepper and sesame seeds. Press the seeds into the steaks, really coat them. Heat a non-stick or well seasoned cast iron pan on high. Add half oil to pan and 1 tuna steak. Sear for 1 to 2 minutes, flip and sear 1-2 minutes. Set aside on cutting board and repeat with second steak. Slice tuna steaks into strips.
Plate up 1/2C rice, handful of spinach and 4 oz tuna. Sprinkle balsamic on spinach.

This turned out to be quite delicious and my husband, who is known to be picky, loved it. I also have a lot left over for future meals/snacks next couple days.

Made pancakes for meal 1 (I’m following MEAL PLAN 3):
42g ground oats, 202g liquid egg whites, cinnamon, vanilla extract & 1/4tsp baking powder (stir & made 2 in pan with 4g buttery flavored coconut oil. Topped with 16g peanut butter & 45g banana (& WF syrup)

FOR MEAL PLAN 1 (NOTE: not fully based on substitution list but macros):
28g ground oats, 140g liquid egg whites, 12g almond butter, 55g banana, & 1 slice turkey bacon

FOR MEAL PLAN 2:
30g ground oats, 150g liquid egg whites, 14g almond butter, & 2 slices turkey bacon (no banana)

** I buy a container of old fashioned oats & grind myself in food processor to make ground oats. Saves money. I use this a lot in my baked good recipes. Pancakes & waffles can always be created using oats (starchy carb) & egg whites (lean protein). Batter is a bit runny, so I make in pan not on griddle.

subbed my blueberries for frozen banana & blended with Greek yogurt— stirred in crumbled PB balls… popped back in freezer for a bit, like a cookie-dough FroYo

I love the Greek yogurt with blueberries mixed in and a protein ball broken up into it. So good, and feels kind of indulgent.

[lcredeur1Participant]

I totally agree.

[marmact67Participant]

Overnight Oats (this pretty closely replaces meal 3, option 1)

40g oats (I like steel cut oats for this)
6 oz nonfat plain Greek yogurt (I prefer Icelandic yogurt as it’s less tart but it does have some fat)
100g frozen fruit of choice (mine is mixed berries)
Unsweetened almond milk
Walnuts or other nut of choice

Measure oats into jar or container. Just barely cover with almond milk. Add yogurt. Top with fruit and nuts. Seal tightly at least overnight.

I eat it cold, and it’s delicious!
