Clean Eating Weight Loss Meal Plan 101

Breakfast

Strawberry Goat Cheese Sandwich

A high-carb and high-protein combo is a great way to start the day--and this strawberry goat cheese sandwich is just that. Its filling; its nutritious; and its delicious.

Find recipe at Healthy Breakfast Idea.

Mid Morning Snack

Avocado with Balsamic Vinegar and Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Drizzle organic balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil on avocado halves, and use a spoon to scoop each bite. Its a quick, simple and yummy snack.

Lunch

Tuna Parm and Tomato Melt (from this recipe)

Lunch time is a time for you to recharge--and lunch recipes should be quick and nutritious. This tuna, parm and tomato melt is a great idea because it has sufficient protein, fats, carbs and vegetables. Plus, its warm and filling, and tastes awesome.

Find recipe at Clean Eating Lunch. Its super easy, so why not give it a try.

Afternoon Snack

Walnut-Stuffed Medjool Dates

Nuts are forces of nature and king of healthy snacks--and walnuts are certainly among them. According to mercola.com, walnuts have cancer-fighting properties, heart-healthy omega-3, brain-improving vitamins and folate, and a rare type of antioxidant called polyphenol antioxidants that prevent inflammation, a leading cause for cancer development. Walnuts also improve male reproductive health, metabolic parameters in people with type 2 diabetes, and overall weight control.

For natural snacks, dates are also desirable, because of their abundance in "calcium, amino acids, sulphur, iron, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, copper, and magnesium."

Together, walnuts and dates make quite a wholesome combo--and thats why I recommend this delicious clean eating snack of toasted walnuts stuffed in sweet medjool dates.

Dinner

Greek Salad

When it comes to salads, a colorful and supple plate of Greek salad makes one of the best choice. Its veggies are crunchy and the dressing is flavorful. You can add meat for extra protein if you want to, but the Greek yogurt dressing offers plenty of protein already.

Not sure about you, but I prefer eating light at night, and therefore recommend this easy and tasty Greek salad.

Breakfast

Whole Wheat Toast with All-Natural Peanut Butter and Apple Slices

I normally eat banana with peanut butter, but apple slices add extra sweetness and crunch. This was an equally tasty breakfast--and just as healthy too.

For peanut butter, I usually use freshly-ground peanut butter, using a peanut grinder. If I must pick a packaged product though, I choose Justins Natural Classic Peanut Butter. It tastes just like fresh peanuts--but in creamy, spreadable texture.

You should absolutely try it. Find it at Justins Peanut Butter.

Mid Morning Snack

FLYJOY Snack Bars with Quinoa, Oats, Flax and Chia

Can you believe all the super foods in this snack bar? I feel healthier just saying those names. And the snack bar itself was crunchy and tasty. Cant ask for anything better.

Get it at FLYJOY Snack Bars.

Lunch

Organic Quinoa with Ground Pork and Cabbage Stir Fry

Honestly, quinoa goes with anything--and especially stir fry. This tasty bowl was a healthy lunch that you can whip up in less than 30 minutes. I hope you like it.

Quinoa is one of the tastiest and most nutritious grains out there. I like that, unlike other grains, its easy on the digestive system and quick to make. Plus, it tastes great.

For an organic quinoa brand, I recommend TruRoots 100% Whole Grain Quinoa. Its truly delicious.

Afternoon Snack

Fresh Raspberries and Organic Chocolate Morsels

What a mouthwatering combo! And such a quick and easy snack too.

Dinner

Baked Cod with a Side of Spinach

The cod was easy to make: just rub extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and your choice of herbs over fresh cod, then bake until fish is thoroughly cooked.

This made a quick and simple meal--excellent for weekdays.

Thats all for today.

Breakfast

Greek yogurt Raspberry Smoothie (find recipe here)


Adding Greek yogurt to smoothies adds protein and density. Its a good idea for breakfast, because breakfast should be filling and energizing.

This Greek yogurt raspberry smoothie is wholesome, sweet and delicious. I like the combination of raspberry and yogurt, and absolutely recommend you try it.

Find recipe at Healthy Breakfast Recipe.

Mid Morning Snack

Berries and Bananas

Lunch

Chick Pea and Tomato Salad in Greek Yogurt Dressing

What a delicious--and gorgeous--salad! Its healthy too, with abundant amounts of protein, vitamins and antioxidants. In creamy Greek yogurt dressing, the chicken peas, tomato, onion and herbs blend into a delightful medley. Hope you try it.

Afternoon Snack

Edamame with Sea Salt

Dinner

Teriyaki Chicken and Quinoa Stir Fry (find recipe here)

This stir fry is gluten-free and clean eating-friendly. With just the right amount of chicken, veggies and grain, its nutritious too. The teriyaki sauce also adds a sweet and delectable flavor. I think youll enjoy this Asian-inspired meal.
