Today I wanted to do another blog about each meal/snack I ate for the day!
Breakfast: It's really important to have a solid breakfast in the morning. It sets the mood for the rest of your meals, and eating choices through out the day. Fruit is great any time a day, but it does contain sugar. Even though it's fructose, sugar is sugar and it will raise your blood sugar levels. Paring it with almonds, which have protein, minimize the spike in blood glucose levels. I also included a slice of sprouted grain bread, with a small amount of butter, for some carbs. Breakfast is the best time of day to have carbohydrates because they give you energy. And when you don't drink coffee like me, you need all the energy you can get!!
Ingredients: Under 200 calories
1 Peach sliced
10 All natural almonds-
1 Slice of Cinnamon raisin sprouted grain bread
1tsp salted butter-on bread
WATER! 20fl oz
Lunch: Garden Fresh veggies :)
This morning I went to water the areas of the garden that were drooping. And as I was down there I found A huge yellow squash, a good size patty pan squash, two hand fulls of snap peas, a few cherry tomatoes, and about 12 cucumbers! I had some red onion left in the fridge and was inspired! I also included a quick video of me cooking!

You should do an article on cooking meals ahead of time. What can I cook up on Sunday and use all week long so I can keep healthy food ready rather than jumping to junk food.
