Faisal's modified diet!

It seems that Faisal thinks the diet below is too complicated for his liking. So I will try to modify it to someone, like him, who is continuously eating out, ordering food, and never has to the time to prepare a home made meal for himself/herself.

It is the same diet posted earlier, but with some modifications that makes it 'easier' to follow, at least in his definition!


General Note: Make sure you start your day with 1-2 cups of water as soon as you open your eyes. Remember, your body has been water deprived for the last 8 hours!

Day1: 

Breakfast: cereal with milk or (a low fat energy bar if necessary… read ingredients, many brands are deceiving… and to be honest, I would rather you not rely on them at all, this is in case of emergency…)
Snack 1: fruit (apple, banana, mango… etc).
NOTE: cut down on coffee to one cup a day. Max, and never have it after 5 p.m. at the latest.
Lunch: A sandwich (make sure you add some greens and veggies to it). Avoid real heavy sandwiches like meat ball, steak sandwich, terryaki chicken...etc, you get the picture!
NOTE: avoid chocolates, chips, and bisects for now...
Dinner: vegetables (any non-starchy veg) with protein
Snack 3 (if necessary): green salad, or nibble organic baby carrots (that is what my husband lives on at night)… etc..

Day 2:

Breakfast: Eggs with whole wheat or multi grain bread. You could always include tomatoes or mushrooms with it.
NOTE: always opt for brown/ whole wheat or multi grain bread instead of white bread.
Snack 1: Milk smoothie a little organic honey and 2 types of fruit (max).
Lunch: Penne Arrabiata
Snack 2: Green Salad
Early Dinner: Protein (meat, fish, or chicken) with veggies.

Day 3:

Breakfast: Green smoothie, if not possible, if you cant prepare it, go for cereal and milk.
NOTE: try almond milk, it is healthy and light.
Snack 1: Greek yogurt with berries/ mangos… etc
Lunch: Green salad, and a source of protein (meat, fish, or chicken).
NOTE: do not mix dairy and animal protein together on the same meal, your body is dealing enough with one of them as is…
Snack 2: fruit
Dinner: Green salad.
Note: your Salads do not have to be boring. Change them up a little every day. I will attached different salad recipes at a later stage so you could get an idea of how yummy they can be! But avoid heavy dressings like Caesar and ranch dressings.
Snack 3: Home made pop corn! (and no, microwaved pop corn is not home made even if you make it at home!)

Now you come up with more food combinations and send them my way!
