Default 6 meals a day

Hi,
Thank you for responding to my "Just don't like diet food" posting. I
was wondering if anyone knew of a cookbook or website that lists
examples of what you would eat in a "six meals a day" regimine and not
gain weight?
Thank you in advance.
Jae

I think six meals a day could be difficult for someone as small as you. If
you need to eat less than 1200 calories (for example) you would only get 200
calories per meal. But since I'm up for a challenge here is a sample plan
with lots of protein and fiber to keep you feeling full:

Breakfast: 4 large egg whites, 1 cup spinach, 1/2 bell pepper, 1/4 cup
shredded fat-free cheese.
Mid-morning: 1/2 cup strawberries, 1 cup non-fat cottage cheese
Lunch: 6 oz. tuna salad on 1 cup romaine lettuce
Mid-afternoon: Turkey patty on 1 slice of whole grain bread *
Dinner: 4oz eye of round steak, 1 cup stir fried vegetables

*An hour or so following this meal would be a good time to do any exercise
you want to include in your plan.

Sorry about all the vegetables ;-)

Matthew

200

snip 5 meals

Oh well, I can't count. I'll be lazy and say just add a protein shake after
your workout.

Hi Matthew,
I just found a six meal a day plan online and I was wondering if you
could take a look and tell me what you think?
This plan is very doable to me if you think I could lose weight on it?


07:00 - (Biggest Meal of the Day): Whole Grain Toast, try use Jam
rather than butter. 1-3 Pieces of Bacon (A little bit of fat per day is
ok!), 1-2 Eggs, skim milk, Fruit or Fruit juice.
So for breakfast I can have 1 slice of whole wheat bread with Jam, 1-3
pieces of bacon and 1-2 scrambled eggs, 1 cup of skim milk, a piece of
fruit or 1 cup of fruit juice? And I can have that everyday?

09:30 - Apple, Banana, Yogurt, Health Bar, Glass of skim milk
I don't think he means all of these things, Do you mean 1 apple or 1
banana or 1 yogurt or 1 health bar and a glass of skim milk?

11:45 - Baked/Boiled Potato, Steamed Vegetables, skim milk
Do you mean baked potato and steamed vegetables and 1 cup of skim milk?
What can I put on the baked potato, how about some reduced calorie sour
cream or butter? What else could I substitue this 3rd meal with. I
really don't enjoy steamed vegetables much, how about roasted
vegetables?
What about sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes some times?

14:00 - Tuna, Fruit, Low fat Dairy Product
Do you mean a can of tuna fish? 6 oz or 8 oz? Can you use a piece of
tuna broiled?

17:30 - Chicken Breast, Rice, Potato, Vegetables, Salad

20:00 - Light snack, try to avoid carbohydrates 3-4 hours before bed
Can you please tell me what you would consider a light snack? What
would be a limit of calories or fat or sugar I should look out for?

Thank you in advance?

Depends on how much you're exercising.

They also have some menu stuff/recipes/suggested foods on their main
BFL website(you dont have to have shakes as they suggest)just have
another small minimeal instead:
http://www.bodyforlife.com/nutrition/mealplan.asp

The Eating For Life book is a next phase recipe book mainly for people
who have done their 12week BFL stint (not recommended for the losing
weight phase)it tries to show you how you can make eating right into a
lifestyle change and that foods dont have to be boring to taste good.

Hi Matthew,
I just found a six meal a day plan online and I was wondering if you
could take a look and tell me what you think?


Is this the plan from toptastes you mentioned in another post?

This plan is very doable to me if you think I could lose weight on it?

I could only guess.

07:00 - (Biggest Meal of the Day): Whole Grain Toast, try use Jam
rather than butter. 1-3 Pieces of Bacon (A little bit of fat per day is
ok!), 1-2 Eggs, skim milk, Fruit or Fruit juice.
So for breakfast I can have 1 slice of whole wheat bread with Jam, 1-3
pieces of bacon and 1-2 scrambled eggs, 1 cup of skim milk, a piece of
fruit or 1 cup of fruit juice? And I can have that everyday?

I'd guess that to be about 500 calories, and really not a whole lot of food
for me but I gather from your comments it would be enough for you. The
problem with a "little bit of fat" is fat is very calorie dense and it can
add up rather quickly. But some people find that it does fill them up better
than carbs or protein.

09:30 - Apple, Banana, Yogurt, Health Bar, Glass of skim milk
I don't think he means all of these things, Do you mean 1 apple or 1
banana or 1 yogurt or 1 health bar and a glass of skim milk?

I don't know where you found this plan, but I would guess its probably means
either just one of those options or the perhaps the fruit and the milk if
the plan is talking about a more substantial "health bar." Probably under
200 calories.

11:45 - Baked/Boiled Potato, Steamed Vegetables, skim milk
Do you mean baked potato and steamed vegetables and 1 cup of skim milk?
What can I put on the baked potato, how about some reduced calorie sour
cream or butter? What else could I substitue this 3rd meal with. I
really don't enjoy steamed vegetables much, how about roasted
vegetables?
What about sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes some times?

You can pretty much eat vegetables at will however you would like to prepare
them so long as you aren't adding cream sauces, butter, etc. As for potato
toppings, you could try turkey chili, fat-free shredded cheese, low cal sour
cream, nonfat plain yogurt. This meal is probably around 400 calories.

I'm not real thrilled with this meal as I would like to see more protein. I
know if I had this for lunch (without the chili) I wouldn't be much good for
the rest of the workday.

14:00 - Tuna, Fruit, Low fat Dairy Product
Do you mean a can of tuna fish? 6 oz or 8 oz? Can you use a piece of
tuna broiled?


Probably the 6oz can but it doesn't make too much difference. What does make
a difference with canned tuna is whether it is packed in water or oil. The
tuna steak or fillet would be great as well. Probably under 300 calories.

17:30 - Chicken Breast, Rice, Potato, Vegetables, Salad


That must be rice OR potato. Or they are very small portions. Another 400
calories.

20:00 - Light snack, try to avoid carbohydrates 3-4 hours before bed
Can you please tell me what you would consider a light snack? What
would be a limit of calories or fat or sugar I should look out for?


I think the whole "avoid carbs before bed" is hokey. That said light snacks
that are low in carbohydrates would include cottage cheese, beef jerky,
lowfat cheese, etc. Probably another 200 calories.

I would guess the entire day to be around 2000 calories. I am a youngish man
significantly larger than you and only about 10 lbs overweight, and I would
lose a little bit of weight on such a plan. But I have a feeling you
wouldn't be so lucky.

My earlier post was more an exercise in can I think of 6 meals around 200
calories than anything else. I really think you would be better off having 3
or 4 larger meals and keeping a very close eye on portions especially of
carbohydrate laden food.

Best of luck,
Matthew
