Does anyone have any recipes/ideas for soups or stews that would fit the lean and green meal? I really like eating hot foods and I love soups in the winter. Also, I'm looking through my recipes now, but does anyone know what a serving size would be for the l & g?

Thanks,

Elle

The 'lean and green' 5&1meal is:
4-5 ounces of LEAN protein cooked without fat or sauces (5-6 ounces for men)- e.g. chicken breast, fish, lean pork, lean beef, etc.
a small salad with fat free/lowcal dressing
1-2 cup of low-carb vegetables - see below

Hi dominiquej,

The current Quick Start Guide varies from your list in the following ways:

The lean portion is:

7 oz. of chicken, turkey, or fish or
5 oz. of lean beef, pork, or lamb

Vegetables on your list that aren't included on the vegetable list are:
Artichokes
Pea pods
Brussel sprouts

(these vegetables are too high in carbs....the artichoke has 26g!)

The list in the Quick Start Guide also includes Turnips and the peppers should be green peppers only.

The portion size of the green is:

A. 2 cups of salad (salad greens, cabbage, spinach, sprouts, celery, radishes, cucumber, green pepper, or tomato) and up to 1/2 cup raw vegetables: or

B. 1 1/2 cups cooked vegetables

Is it possible that you have an old list?

Hi dominiquej,

I just checked and it is from an old list, thanks for the correction.
