Meal 1- 1/2 cup oats (so 1 cup oatmeal) 1 tbsp peanut butter and chia seed, sliced strawberries, cinnamon and a little almond milk. Coffee w/ tsp of agave nectar and a splash of almond milk
Meal 2- no bake energy bar- I am gettin low on these guys! They are so good! Dangerously good!
Meal 3- 1 pretty large sweet potato topped with 2 tsp agave and 1/2 cup cottage cheese w/cinnamon
Meal 4- mini size fat free frozen yogurt. This was my "cheat meal". So really not too bad! It probably had only about 100-150 cals. A few hours later I had a large grapefruit
Workout- 60 min spin class! Pretty tough class!
Meal 5- 1 1/2 cups of tuna bean pasta (check out the recipe below!)
Meal 6- 1/2 cup uncle sam flax cereal with a few raisins and almond milk
Tuna Bean Salad
- 1 Box whole wheat pasta shells
- 1 can garbonzo beans ( I buy low sodium, but I still try to rinse the beans)
- 1 can water packed tuna
- Few tbsp canned sliced olives (I usually don't rinse these after draining)
- Handful or two of sliced bell pepper (I buy sliced peppers, but 1-2 pepper sliced would be about right)
- 1 tbsp pesto (optional- I had it lying around so I added a tbsp in place of one of the tbsp of olive oil)
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- Pepper to taste
Follow cooking directions for pasta on the box. Rinse and drain cans of beans and tuna. Add ingredients to cooked/drained pasta. Throw in the olives and peppers, tbsp of pesto and 2-3 tbsps olive oil. Squeeze lemon (watch for seeds!). Mix ingredients thoroughly and pepper to taste.
I usually add a tsp of olive oil drizzled on top when serving. I think that the olive oil gets down to the bottom of the bowl, or just gets absorbed so adding a little more just makes it a little less dry. Feel free to sprinkle on some parm or feta ( I do for Dustin).
