Weekly Menu: June 3-9

Every week, I will post a menu of what I will be making for dinners throughout the week. Each day, I'll try to  post a recipe with pictures and as much health information as I can get (namely, calories, carbs, fats).

For breakfasts, I have one ViSalus shake (made with either frozen berries, frozen mango pieces, or some cocoa).

Lunch is usually leftovers from the night before, two eggs with spinach/red peppers/onions/mushrooms, a turkey/spinach/lite mayo/mozzarella cheese sandwich, or KD for days that I cave.

Saturdays/Sundays are days I generally save for my main carbs (such as pizza/pasta/bread). However, I sometimes make rice during the week to accompany some of the dishes I make (such as creamy curry shrimp, this week).

When I have snacks, I limit myself to fruits (bananas, mangoes, apples, kiwis, etc.). As I progress into this "diet" (i.e. lifestyle), I am going to try out some other healthy snacks from Eat Clean recipe books, and I'll let you know how that goes.
