DAY ONE MENU FOR VegiSis

A failure to plan is a plan for failure so I started my Lent plan tonight and will post tomorrow's menu for VegiSis now. Just in case I forget and veer off toward Starbuck's perhaps this will help paste it in my head!!

Breakfast: 5 Grain Hot Cereal
Drop off VegeNoodle to school
Park at work and walk from town to Curves for a circuit training workout and walk back to town
Snack: Apple and tea
Work for Four Hours
Eat a late lunch - Garbanzo bean spread* lettuce wraps and assorted vegies
Pick-up VegeNoodle and go to lessons
Home for a snack - Salad
Housework, night school work and dinner
Dinner: Potato tacos with lettuce, bell peppers, onions, and pico

Garbanzo bean spread:
1 can of Garbanzos (chickpeas)
1/2 a purple onion chopped fine
2 tsp chopped parsley
1 Tblsp fresh lemon juice
a little water if you need to for consistency
Ground Pepper
Dashes of Tabasco

1) Mash garbanzos
2) Mix in the rest of the ingredients

Use as a dip for vegies or a spread for wraps and sandwiches.

  1. Looks good. One comment: remember that the McDougall program is starch based. When the fat content is low you must make sure there are adequate carbs. You might find the lunch a little too light, possibly leading to the munchies later on. Try it out and see how you feel, adjusting as necessary. BTW we went to the Getaway this morning for a FAT TUESDAY breakfast: veggie omelet and hashbrowns. High fat and OMG level of salt! Ten cups of herb tea later... !!
