Question:
Examples of "Mini Meals" for weight loss?
I would like to lose about 10 pounds, and I keep hearing that eating 6 smaller meals throughout the day maintains your metabolism, blood sugar, and is effective at weight loss. But what are some examples of "mini meals"? I don't want to just eat 6 pieces of fruit for the day.
Answers:
A mini-meal for that type of diet should be 200-300 calories. Examples:
Meal one: One serving oatmeal- (150) +half of a small banana (50) =200
Meal two- One slice of whole-wheat toast (70) +1 tbs peanut butter (100) +1 medium apple (60) = 230
Meal three- One whole wheat roll (100) with 3 oz turkey breast meat (89) and a bit of lettuce (1) +one regular mozzerella string cheese stick (80) = 270
Meal four- a 6 oz container of yoplait light yogurt (100) +1 cup original cheerios (100) and half a cup of sliced strawberries (25) = 225
Meal five- One half grilled skinless chicken breast (130) + one cup of stemed chopped brocolli (30) with one pat of butter (35) + one whole red bell pepper (31) chopped and dressed with two tablespoons fat-free italian dressing (25) =261
Meal six- Half a cup of 1% lowfat cottage cheese (81) with half and ounce of sliced almonds (86) and one cup of sliced pear (96) = 263
Daily total =1,249
Wooh, that took a while! I did this diet for about two weeks before I got tired of the commitment needed, but I lost 6 lbs over that time.
