Initiation Of A Non-Red Meat Eater

Teen Diet: this is an example of a healthy almost vegitarian 3 day diet...

Breakfast:

Day 1:
Fresh fruit- an orange, pear, strawberries, banana, watermelon, peaches, blueberries-mix some of your favorite fruits with a container of yogurt and add some granola for a delicious breakfast (sort of like a parfait, except better than Mcdonald's...its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than fast food, its (enter your name here)'s)).
Day 2:
Eggs-fried, scrambled, poached, or hard-boiled with whole grain toast- This great source of protein will help to give you energy to start your day.
Day 3:
Oatmeal with chopped nuts and raisins, a sliced banana, or strawberries- If you want more protein, add some peanut butter.

Snack:

Days 1-3:
Grain- just something to give you a little energy even chips are fine just not more than 1 bag.

Lunch:

Day 1:
Vegetarian chili with tortilla chips- its basically the same chilly but with more vegis like corn and no meat, all the good and none of the bad.
Day 2:
Tuna salad sandwich on whole grain bread or roll- This is a healthy way to get protein instead of eating red meat (yay we saved cows).
Day 3:
Egg salad sandwich on whole wheat bread with lettuce and tomato- Another healthy red meat alternative

Dinner:

Day 1:
Ravioli or pasta with cheese sauce- you could also eat it with pesto sauce but the cheese gives you a little more variation.
Day 2:
Broiled salmon with vegetables- this will give you much needed proteins and good fats without using the bad fats and cholesterols found in red meat.
Day 3:
Stir fry vegetables with shrimp, or chicken- Yummy and its good for you!

Dessert:

Days 1-3:
Ice cream or your favorite treat- a few fatty foods a day are perfectly fine especially at dessert time. Just remember not to go overboard with the chocolate and make sure (I can't believe I have to say this but just in case...) you don't eat some kind of meat for dessert.
