Let me know what you think of my meals!!

I am on day 3, woohoo!!

Was hoping to get some feedback on my meals so far. Do you think I could make any improve at and am I following the plan appropriately?

Breakfast- two eggs, two pieces of chicken sausage, 1/2 avocado, and fruit

- don't always have the chicken sausage

Lunch-

Today I'm having a salad with shrimp, 1/2 avocado, cucumber, carrots, sunflower seeds and homemade lemon dressing and cashews on the side- is it ok to have both cashews and avocado on the same meal?

Dinner- last night we had scallops with lemon, mango and pineapple salsa, asparagus, cucumber salad and fruit for dessert

Thoughts?

Pretty good overall, but I notice a few things here...I think your breakfast could be improved a bit. You need vegetables! It seems weird at first, but you'll get used to it. Also, if you don't have the chicken sausage, you should probably have 3 eggs.

 

Cashews and avocado are fine at the same meal. You just want to avoid large portions of nuts on a regular basis, or using them as a snack.

 

I would also get the D word out of your vocabulary. You shouldn't think of fruit as a dessert. Make it part of your meal, but don't try to make anything a dessert substitute. It will make sticking to this plan easier in the long run.

You need more vegetables. Shoot for 1-2 cups of vegetables per meal.

For your fruit that you have with a meal, be sure the serving size is the size of your fist.  And don't let fruit push vegetables out of your meal.  Again, every meal should have vegetables, whereas with fruit, if you have it, limit fruit to 1-2 servings per day.

I will definitely take this feedback into consideration! Thank you.
