Day #7

Wahoo one full week of zone recipes:) (well I repeated breakfast and one lunch-don't worry though I have some good new ones for next week!)
Breakfast:
Fruit Salad
3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1 cup fresh pineapple
1/3 cup reduced sugar mandarin oranges
3 macadamia nuts crushed.
Mix all together and enjoy!

Lunch:
Quesadilla
1 corn tortilla
3 oz cheese (mild cheddar)
Salsa and jalapenos to taste
1 orange
9 almonds

Dinner:
Spaghetti
1 cup spaghetti squash (cooked)
1 cup tomato sauce/marinara
3 oz cooked lean ground beef
cook meat in 1 tsp olive oil
sprinkle with Parmesan cheese

Instructions: cut in half (lengthwise) or quarters. You don't want to cut it up too small unless you want short strands. Scrape out the seeds and pulp as you would with any squash or pumpkin.

Bake rind side up about 30 to 40 minutes at 375 F.
scrap inside with fork to create "spaghetti"
While squash is cooking, prepare meat and marinara sauce

Snack:
1/2 apple
1/2 tsp peanut butter
1 oz cheese.

1 hard boiled egg
1/2 orange
6 peanuts

  1. found out that two cups of Spaghetti squash equals 1 carb block
    For dessert:
    2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce with sprinkle of cinnamon
    Everything was great! I am always very satisfied with the portions and keep surprising myself with all the good food!
    Had one coke zero and two cups of coffee with 2% milk at work today. Working on finishing up my H20 for the day.
