5'10" 125 pounds...What foods should I eat to maintain?

Question

I need help planning what to eat. Trying to tone down my cardio by doing 45 mins. 2x week and 35mins. another day. Weight training 3 days a week for 35 mins. I may incorporate hour long walks if I start to gain weight.

I don't eat poultry or red meat. Lots of veggies, beans, egg whites, some cheese, fruits, and vegetarian products. Can anyone help me plan a simple menu with 3 meals and 3 snacks? I'm a 27 year old female by the way.

Answer 2

What I eat

Answer 3

If you are a Vegan or a Vegetarian here is an example of a days meal plan:

Breakfast (with coffee or with out)

* Organic or Natural Coffee with French Vanilla Silk Cream (about 1 tbsp will do)

* A bowl of cut up fruit (ex)banana, strawberries, pineapple pieces, kiwi slices, green grapes, sliced pear, sliced apple, and blueberries. (Make it a big bowl if you want! It is FRUIT! Good for you and yummy!)

* ADD YOGURT: Silk Vanilla Yogurt mixed with fruit and organic granola makes a delicious parfait!!!

NOW WAIT 20 MINUTES

DRINK 2 GLASSES OF WATER (One 16oz glass)

WAIT AT LEAST 3 HOURS B4 LUNCH OR SNACKING

Snack: (optional)

Luna Bar, Organic Fiber Bar, Lara Bar, or Kashi Go Lean Bar. (Any organic/dairy free bar makes a great snack. Should be full of fiber and protein. Granola bars are great too!)

DRINK MORE WATER

Lunch:

Veggie Garden Burger on whole wheat/grain/sprouted bread, with lettuce & tomatoes, and great spices. ( Soooooo freakin good!)

GUESS WHAT?!?!

yep, drink that water!

Snack:(optional)

A handful of delicious cashews or any of your favorite nuts, even mixed, is all you need in a snack. (It should fill you up, but you cant just put the whole handful in your mouth and expect to be full. Take your time and let your body process the fullness.)

Dinner:(EAT B4 7PM!!!)

HUGEO MEGA HEALTHY SALAD! Mixed greens, carrots, tomatoes, peppers, onions, chopped almonds or walnuts, (if NON VEGAN add raw or goat cheese). You can add more or less depending on what you like! I usually never use a dressing. If you choose to add dressings, NEWMANS OWN is the way to go!

Dessert:(optional)

Any soy and/or organic/natural ice cream OR any frozen yogurt!

Still hungry????

DRINK SOME MORE WATER!

Answer 4

SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU ARE DOING IT... JUST MIX IT UP AND HAVE THOSE ITEMS THREE TIMES A DAY

Answer 5

* green salad

* colorful fruits (including bell peppers)

* boiled or steamed vegetable (string beans, mustard green, bokchoy etc.)

* roots (carrots, parsnips, turnips, daikon)

* chicken, beef, fish, shrimps (less than 8oz per serving)

* soup (fish based, beef based, chicken based + beans + pasta or cooked rice + celery carrot onion)

* whole grains, nuts

* fresh fruits by the season + a very ripe banana a day.

Answer 7

this site should help you out

http://www.bestdietfoods.net/

I think hour walks are good though

Answer 8

fyi, your bmi (body mass index) is 17.9  

according to the national heart lung and blood institute, you are underweight. the average bmi number ranges from 18.5 to 24.9

but if you want to maintain this, continue your daily routines, eat healthy foods and you'll be fine!!

Answer 9

It sounds like you may have an eating disorder.  Perhaps you should get some counseling.  Plus if you still eat seafood you and pork you are not a vegetarian.

You are 15 to 20 pounds underweight and I am think you worry way too much about weight.  That's a bad sign.

Answer 10

you are too skinny!! go eat some McDonald's!

Answer 11

Don't listen to these people who are telling you to go get some McDonalds...I think you are perfectly healthy.  They're probably jealous.

Here are some of my meal and snack ideas:

Breakfast:

Kashi brand makes this 10 grain cereal that is whole grains that you make on the stove with water (just like you make rice.)  Whole grains are really good to mix into your diet and I like this because it has 10 different grains!  I make some and keep in the fridge and add it to a variety of things like yogurt, salads or roasted vegetables.

Also Morningstar Farms veggie sausage patties are yum!  I eat them with cottage cheese.

For a fast breakfast, Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal has a lot of protein and fiber.

Lunch:

I pack my lunch and take to work, that way I know it's healthy instead of eating out or whatever.

I take cut up veggies (baby carrots, red and yellow pepper, cucumber) and dip in hummus.  I also take walnuts or almonds.

My favorite soup is Pacific brand Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato.  It is healthy and delicious.

A big green salad with spinach in it and tuna.  There is a kind of tuna that I used to get at Wild Oats that is in little fillets and is delicious.  It is in a square sardine can with pull-off lid.  I love it on salad.  I also put avocado on salad a lot - yummy and a healthy fat - monounsaturated.

Dinner:

Fish and vegetables - roasted, sauteed or steamed.  

Whole grain pasta.

Quiche.

Savory crepes - fill crepes with roasted or sauteed veggies and some cheese - very good!

Roasted chickpeas (drain a can of chickpeas, add olive oil and salt and put in a glass dish, in 400 degree oven until brown and toasty).

Snacks:

Cottage cheese with grape tomatoes and pesto.

String cheese.

Nuts.

Half an apple with peanut butter.

Laughing cow lowfat swiss cheese wedge spread on ricecake.

Hard-boiled egg.

And always, fruit, veggies, lots of water.
