O,k. here we go for DAY 18 Nutrition:

M 1 Pre-training: cottage cheese, cantelope, water
M2 Post-Training: Lean Dessert chocolate shake with 1 banana, water
M3 Tuna Fish, cottage cheese, soy crisps, water
M4 Grapes, chicken breast, water
M5 Salmon, Yam, brocolli, water
M6 Soy Crisps, 2 low cal mozarella sticks, water
I want to thank all of you who post on this nutrition spot. I have taken so many terrific ideas from so many of you and have tried the recommended recipees many of you have mentioned. I was tempted to try Dude's posted foods, especially the Pop Tarts, those are a personal weakness of mine, but decided not to! You all are the BEST

Hi Chrissie, My protien coffee consists of mixing a scoop of Lean Dessert powder, with 1 T. instant coffee granuals, and 1/2 frozen banana, with a few ice cubes, and about 8 oz. cold water. I let it whirl for a full minute on high, so it gets nice and frothy, and drink it immediately after a training session. I got this advice from someone here, and it really seems to be a good way to get good energy and nutrients to my sore and stressed muscles. Hope you try it. I am sure any powder will work, as long as it is high quality. Many others here, like Dianne, know a lot more about the powders, so I am hoping one of them will comment on the matter. Chriss

M6 Protein shake with L-Glutamine

On My menu for a lovely Saturday:

M1 oats with walnuts and water
M2 Lean Dessert shake with frozen blueberries, water
M3 Spinach salad and grilled chicken, water
M4 Cottage cheese with strawberries, water
M5 Hobo Meal Check out recipe below
M6 EFL pudding

The Hobo meal is pretty cool. Here is how to make it if anyone wants to try it. It's cool here in Dayton, OHio today and the perfect day for a camp fire this evening. We will get the fire going around 4:00, the wood will be ready around 5:30. You take a piece of heavy duty foil, and in the center you place whatever vegies you like. We will use cubed sweet potatoes, snow peas, some corn, chopped carots, onion, and on the top you lay a portion of whatever meat you like. I will lay a piece of chicken on mine, but my boys will most likely put a hamburger patty right overtop. Next you add a little salt and pepper, and a spray of Butter Flavor Pam. Now, pinch the foil closed tightly and lay it directly ontop of the hot wood or coals. It takes about 45 minutes for the pack to bake fully, but this is really tastey and extremely worth the wait. I hope you all try and enjoy!
I have an appointment with the StairMaster now, so off I go! Have a super day all.
Chriss
