MillionDollarVeggie Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 No, but the calories to this diet plan only equal 1200. The marco breakdown comes out to about 40% carbs 30% fat and 30% protein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionDollarVeggie Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 According to fitday.com, the majority of the fats were polyunsaturated fats from the sunflower seeds, and a few stray ones from the soymilk used in the protein shakes. But that was because the option of fat free soy milk wasn't on the given list, when I shop for soymilk, it's always fat free. Regardless, fats are still 30% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marco breakdown comes out to about 40% carbs 30% fat and 30% protein.Unless you are really small and/or aren't moving at all, I would recommend going higher. 1500 is a good cutting calorie intake for most women. My girl is 5'2 and 115lbs and she would lose weight on a 1500 cal plan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionDollarVeggie Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 2097- Yeah I have seen it and yep it's from that movie. I've always done well with a more moderate-good-fat level diet. Everyone's different. Fallen-1500 is perfectly doable, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsedoc Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Okay, here's my take on it. I agree if you are working out that you need more calories on average than 1500 unless you are really really small (like me:). In the morning I would suggest adding some greens to alkalinize and to balance the sugars in the fruit. Plus all that great fiber they provide along with easy to absorb minerals. Lunch seems good as long as you are not coating the salad with a processed dressing.Dinner it would be good to eliminate the processed food and eat real food instead. Lots and lots of veggies possibly adding in beans, small amount of rice or quinoa and even another small salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionDollarVeggie Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Horse...Thank you for your opinon, but just as a side note...Nothing in my dinners are processed, everything that is listed would be made from scratch. Nothing processed. Beans are very present in just about every one of those dinner meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen_Horse Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Beans are super delish. I usually just make them with hot sauce haha... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionDollarVeggie Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 Beans are the fruit of the gods. All those good carbs, protein and fiber packed in one little nugget of goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb123 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Where do you find fat free soymilk? I haven't come across any in stores around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionDollarVeggie Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's at Krogers. I've seen it many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb123 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Aha! that explains it .....there are no Krogers around me. I am going to have to ask and see if my grocery can get it in or maybe the health food store. What brand is it available in? Thank you for your help.

MillionDollarVeggie Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 The brand is Silk, and my mistake it's not fat free, it's "Light" but at only 1.5 grams of fat per serving, it's still really good since regular soy milk is 4g of fat sometimes more depending on the flavor and brand.

But then there's the ff soymilk from Krogers.... hmmm that sounds processed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionDollarVeggie Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 I never said my diet would be 100% unprocessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
