Week #4 (belatedly)

Hello all, here is the plan for week #4.  It is little different than previous layouts with a little more flexibility as to what can be selected for a given day/meal.


 
Instructions:
 
Each day’s meals are constructed not so much from a calorie allotment standpoint but rather as a means to ensure proper minimum intake of proper omega-3, anti-oxidants and other nutrients.  As such, these are merely a starting point for each meal.  Choose one item from each list at each meal to create a balanced intake of nutrients. 
 


Lutein/Xeazanthin
1 serving squash
1 serving multigrain oatmeal
1 serving broccoli
1 serving brussel sprouts
 
 
 
Anti-oxidant
1 serving carrots (raw or lightly steamed)
1 serving kale (raw or lightly steamed)
1 serving strawberries or other dark berry
1 serving oranges
 
 
Omega-3’s
1 serving Salmon (ideally at least 2x per week)
1 serving mixed nuts
1 serving Walnuts
1 serving Pistachios
1 serving Almonds
1 serving Chia seeds
