I know eating that sounds like a lot to some of you,but it really isn't that hard at all. You will find that by using EAS meal replacement shakes and bars that it will become second nature.
When planning a meal, it is important to always choose a portion of protein and a portion of carbohydrates. A portion is equal to the size of the palm of your hand. Therefore, everyone's portion size is different. The important thing to remember is to have an "EQUAL" portion of each (a protein and a carb) at each meal and to add a serving of veggies to at least two meals (e.g., lunch and dinner). Just plan to eat every two to three hours.
Easy, right?
Here is a list of "authorized" foods. Again, you will find that eating right isn't hard! There is lots of good stuff on the lists!
