What’s for Lunch today?

Although, eating a huge, high fat meal wouldn’t be the best course of action.

There’s a lot of food in these plans so you shouldn’t be hungry afterward.

Try to avoid adding cheese or large amounts of dressing to your salads, because then the calorie numbers will greatly increase. I’m big fan of low-fat salad dressings.
