Jennifer's Menu:


I love the idea of sharing our menus with one another. Thanks Tami, for suggesting it. I will post my best day- with an overall "GPA" of 3.96. Don't be fooled! Yesterday, my "GPA" was 2.19- and I failed my alcohol intake completely, with 2 FULL glasses of wine! :) I must admit, logging into Vitabot daily takes a lot of time. And a lot of thought. I have been really excited about what I am learning from it. But the honeymoon feels like it is over. I simply do not have enough time to spend planning AND working out. With that confession, however, comes the greatest gratitude... because this program has really opened my eyes.

MORNING|
1 mug coffee
1/4 cup milk
3 tsp. sugar

(Since this menu planning day, I have gone to straight black coffee. An adjustment indeed. I used to use half and half. I miss it DEARLY. I can do without the sugar. But I do miss my creamy goodness.)

BREAKFAST |
1 bottle RAIN soul (antioxidant drink)
2 small, homemade zucchini muffins
1 6 oz nonfat yogurt
1 banana
1/4 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup orange juice

LUNCH |
1 carrot (not the baby ones... the real deal! they actually taste like carrots!)
1 celery
3 Tbsp. hummus
1 slice whole wheat bread, toasted
1/2 can tuna (dry)
3 slices avocado
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup dried apricots

DINNER|
1 tortilla with chicken + veggies- fajitas
1/4 cup raw, shredded spinach
1/2 cup homemade pico de gallo salsa
1 glass red wine

SNACKS|
1 packet RAIN storm (workout recovery drink)
1/2 cup raisins
2 cups popcorn
1/4 cup almonds

I can't wait to see all of your meal planning ideas.

Oh, and FYI- because these plans are individualized, keep in mind my calorie intake is higher because I am still nursing my babe. Although, I have seldom met their suggested calorie intake... it just seems like a lot of food to get to throughout the day.

  1. That looks amazing! And all without wheat germ. Maybe because you eat meat? I've considered adding in small amounts of tuna but it wouldn't come naturally.

    It IS a lot of food when you eat well, isn't it? I've found that by the end of dinner I'm often still below my target too. The hard part for me right now is listening to my body, rather than going for A's.

  2. Remember vitabot is a learning tool, not something you will use for life but rather for a moment in time.
    thanks for sharing, looks Great!
