Eating clean can be one of the toughest challenges that you will have to face in your quest for a healthier lifestyle. With all of the processed foods surrounding you, finding anything to eat that is both healthy and will not break the bank is extremely difficult. Well, let us make it easy for you as we list some of the foods that you should consume over a period of five days to ensure a healthier and happier you.
Day 1:
Oats are a great source of fiber to start off your day.
At lunchtime you need to supply the body with the protein that it so dearly needs. Grill a chicken fillet and eat it with some wholegrain pita bread.
You may want to end your day with a few boiled veggies and a small serving of tuna to make sure you get both your protein and your minerals.
Day 2:
Fortified cereal with skimmed milk will provide the iron and fiber required to boost the metabolism to give a healthy start to your day. Try adding some fruit.
Turkey is a great source of lean protein that will satiate your appetite and make a great lunch.
You could end your day with a succulent 8 oz. steak served with freshly cut veggies and a side of mashed potatoes.
Day 3:
Eggs with feta cheese is a great way to add protein to your body right in the morning.
BBQ chicken salad will not only provide your body with protein but will also provide the minerals required via the vegetables.
Prawns may be expensive but they are so worth it at least once a week.
Day 4:
Quinoa is a low calorie high protein food for the vegetarians.
Grilled chicken with boiled rice makes a great and tasty lunch.
Pan grilled salmon will provide the body with the necessary amount of protein and good fats.
Day 5:
Egg Salad is a good source of protein and can be low in calories if you use greek yoghurt instead of mayonnaise.
Grilled lamb is tasty and fulfills your daily protein requirements.
Lentil soup with whole wheat bread will provide the fiber necessary for a healthy colon and will aid digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Any craving between the three staple meals can be taken care of with some fruit or a handful of unsalted nuts or some Greek yoghurt. Realize that soft drinks and juices with added sugars are strictly off limits as are processed foods. Follow this meal plan and you’re sure to see results soon enough.
