1200 Calorie Diet: Day 1
1200 Calorie Diet: Day 21200 Calorie Diet: Day 3As with the 800 calories a day diet, this menu is designed to use only unprocessed food (except the yogurt, which is technically processed). It is also meant to be reasonably affordable, easily prepared, and portable -- I expect you to have a commute and after-work activities. It is also designed to be as nutritious as possible. While I definitely recommend you take a multivitamin, you will be getting most of your nutrients from real food. As a result, because this is both for your health and for your skinny sexiness, I recommend you get the freshest, best-quality food you can afford. When you start eating much less than before, its all the more important to get as much enjoyment possible from every calorie. So here's the day's food: Breakfast: Arrowhead Mills Organic 4 Grain Plus Flax Hot Cereal 1/2 cup 280 calories, 18g fiber, 10g protein, 12% iron One medium apple, 3 inches in diameter 95 calories, 4g fiber, 14% Vitamin C Lunch: Greens 6 cups unpacked 90 calories, 12g fiber, 12g protein, 360mg calcium, Vitamin A 708% DV, Vitamin C 330% 2 hard boiled eggs - no yolks 32 calories, 6g protein, 140mg calcium One medium apple, 3 inches in diameter 95 calories, 4g fiber, 14% Vitamin C Snack Faye 0% greek yogurt 1 cup 120 calories, 20g protein, 250mg calcium One medium apple, 3 inches in diameter 95 calories, 4g fiber, 14% Vitamin C Dinner: Greens 6 cups unpacked 90 calories, 12g fiber, 12g protein, 360mg calcium, Vitamin A 708% DV, Vitamin C 330% 1/2 cup soybeans (edamane) green, cooked, boiled, without salt 120 calories, 11g protein, 4g fiber, 10g carbs, 25% VitC, 12% iron, 13% calcium 1 cup of Amy's pasta and 3 bean soup, or any other soup so long as there is no more than 120 calories of it. 120 calories, 4g fiber, 5g protein Dessert: Raspberries 1 cup 64 calories, 1g protein, 54% vitamin c, 8g fiber TOTAL CALORIES 1201 TOTAL FIBER 70 grams TOTAL PROTEIN 77 grams Here's what it will cost: Oatmeal: $1.00 Yogurt $2.25 2 eggs $1 Greens $7 Raspberries $4 Soybeans $1 Soup $1.25 3 Apples $4.00 Cost per day: $21.50 Prep Time: Oatmeal: 7 mins Boil eggs 15 mins (8 to boil water, 7 to cook) Heat soup Boil soybeans |
