Hey yall.. Along with our new fitness goals should be nutrition goals. Below is an example of a 1500 calorie meal plan for an entire day. This is primarily for those wanting to lose weight.. even in small amounts. I would be happy to post more of these if anyone finds them helpful. Let me know! 😊 Breakfast Egg sandwich–Scramble 1 egg in 1 tsp butter and layer on 2 slices whole-grain toast with tomato slices & 1/4 avocado, sliced (319 calories) MORNING SNACK 12-oz skim latte and 1 clementine (135 calories) LUNCH Mediterranean plate–Serve 1 4 whole-wheat pita bread with 1 oz feta cheese, 1 cup grape tomatoes, 6 Kalamata olives, 1/4 cup hummus & 1 cup raw spinach drizzled with 1 tsp. each olive oil and lemon juice (396 calories) AFTERNOON SNACK 18 baked tortilla chips with 1/4 cup guacamole (198 calories) DINNER Carne Asada Taco served with 2 cups lettuce + 2 Tbsp. low-fat vinaigrette and a 12-oz light beer or 8-oz lemonade (484 calories) • 1/2 cup white vinegar • 2 tablespoons chili powder • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 2 3/4 teaspoons salt, divided • 1 teaspoon garlic powder • 2 pounds flank or skirt steak, trimmed and cut into 3 equal portions • 1 pound tomatoes, chopped • 2-4 fresh jalapeño peppers or serrano chiles, seeded and finely diced • 1/2 cup chopped onion • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro • 1 ripe but slightly firm avocado, diced • Juice of 1 lime • 16 5- to 6-inch corn or whole-wheat flour tortillas, warmed • 1/3 cup crumbled Cotija cheese (see Tip) or other shredded cheese PREPARATION 1. Whisk vinegar, chili powder, oil, 2 teaspoons salt and garlic powder in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Add steak and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours. 2. Make salsa about 20 minutes (and up to 2 hours) before cooking the meat: Gently combine tomatoes, jalapeños (or chiles) to taste, onion, cilantro, avocado, lime juice and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. 3. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. 4. Place the steak on a rimmed baking sheet (discard the marinade). Broil 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Thinly slice against the grain. Serve the steak wrapped in warm tortillas and topped with the salsa and cheese.
