Food Challenge Menu Days 1-3

I'm posting days 1-3 a little early, so that you can have time to go out and grocery shop. Also, so you can get an idea of the way you'll be eating and the staples you'll need on hand.

I'll also post a little blurp every three days about how the day went for me personally with food and all that jazz. I'll throw up a before pic, but I'm not really anticipating a great change in my appearance. I've already lost all of my baby weight plus some by eating this way majority of the time. I aiming for more of an internal change.

*Read the recipes before grocery shopping. There may be items that you don't need, because you don't like them. It also helps to see what you'll be making. A lot of the recipes have little tips about certain ingredients - like mandarin oranges can be purchased packages, but with no sugar/corn syrup/etc.

Day before day 1:
Season your pork tenderloin
Make your mayo

Day 1
Breakfast: Zucchini and sweet potato frittata
Lunch: Pulled pork lettuce wraps (Prepare the pork the night before!! Bonus points for ease!)
Dinner: Chicken with creamy sun-dried tomato sauce

Day 2
Breakfast: Leftover frittata from yesterday (I'll be having brussels sprouts with it)
Lunch: Asian chicken salad wrap
Dinner: Jerk chicken (I like to also sauté in green beans and whatever other veggie I have laying around that could possibly go bad soon. Skip the sugar required in the recipe!)

Day 3
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs w/ spinach, bacon, and cinnamon cooked apples
Lunch: Any leftovers, a salad, or go out...but be careful with what you order. Look at the nutrition guides of wherever you go! Hint: Salad dressing at most restaurants are a definite no-go.
Dinner: Beef Stew

Snack:
Fruit 'N Nut Bars (Not a part of the grocery list!!!)
LARABARS can be found in any grocery story on the supplement aisle, but stay away from peanuts
Blueberries
Bananas
Apples

*If you have leftovers from any meals, feel free to skip the suggested meal and eat your leftovers instead. Don't waste food. Smiley face.

This grocery list assumes that you have NOTHING in your kitchen in the way of food. Just copy/paste this into a word doc and delete the things that you already have.
