Meal suggestions anyone?

Quoted message said:

Hi, I eat about every three hours and my meals look like this during
the weekdays:

Meal 1: Protein shake + piece of fruit
Meal 2: Canned chicken breast + lettuce
Meal 3: Protein shake + piece of fruit
Meal 4: Protein bar
Meal 5: Low fat chicken strips + veggie

I want to replace meal 4 with a whole food; something that is simple to
prepare.

Any suggestions?

Something fatty. You have no fat in your diet.

Replace it all with whole food. Canned Chicken Breast?

How about a salad. Romaine, Spinach, maybe some green peppers, green
onion, little cheese, salad dressing - cut some ham up on top. Yummy.
Takes about 10 minutes to prepare.

How about Tuna or chicken salad? Take the meat, blend it with mayo to
taste, throw in some green onions and or celery - little salt and
pepper. Blend in a hard boiled egg to make it very filling. Eat on a
bed of romaine.

Breakfast. Cottage cheese. Filling as all hell. You can mix in fruit
and splenda to make it very tasty. My favorite is about a cup of
Cottage Cheese with cocoa (maybe a tablespoon) and splenda.

An egg scramble is also very easy. Butter a pan and heat it. Throw in
veggies and meat (sausage, ham), brown. Scramble a few eggs and dump
them on top. Constantly mix as it cooks until the eggs are as dry (or
wet) as you like them. Serve with a sprinkle of grated cheese on top.

Also, what fruit are you eating - "piece of fruit" doesn't mean much to
me. If you are having an apple or orange twice a day you probably
aren'y all that low carb.

How about eating some real foods instead of that manufactured [censored]. Eat
real meat and real veggies and real fruit. The only decent part of that
menu is the lettuce, fruit and veggies.

Eat real fresh eggs, beef, chicken, fish, pork. Eat real potatoes,
peas, carrots, lettuces, etc.

There is more to nutrition than protein bars and avoiding all carbs.
Real meat will contain all kinds of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc.
real fresh whole food produce contains all kinds of excellent nutrition
and is naturally low-carb compared to pasta, bread, sugar etc.

Animal fats from healthy animals is very healthy. Bone broths from
whole chickens (with the fat) and beef bones (with the marrow) is all
very very healthy.

There are a zillion kinds of cheese.

First I checked to see if this was posted only to ASDLC
(it is), then I checked how much posting history you
have (no prior posts).

There's no sign you know the basic principles of how
low carb works. One of the principles (which also
appears in any quality book on low fat) is that fat
is essential to health. In the case of low carb, that
means fat is not to be limited. In fact, the
underlying science shows that reducing fat in addition
to reducing carbs actually reduces basal metabolism
and interferes with fat loss. No matter that it runs
against what's obvious, once you're low in carbs
reducing fat to very low levels interferes with
further weight loss rather than helps it. With the
equation of calories in and calories out, the calories
out part is far more variable than most people think.

You need to select one of the books on the topic and
read one of them. Doctor Atkins New Diet Revolution,
The South Beach Diet, Protein Power Lifeplan, there are
several others. At this point it is much more important
that you feed your mind than that you get suggestions
for specific changes. What you're doing doesn't
resemble any low carb system at all and you need to
know what low carbing actually is to be able to do it.
A complete mental reboot is needed.

Hey, you are the one who posted to alt.support.diet.LOW-CARB asking for
dietary advice. One apple has about half the carbs I allow myself in
one day. If I want fruit I usually eat [censored] berries. Much lower in
sugar.

As for foamy's objections to low-carb diets, he appears to know very
little about real low-carb eating habits. He does have an amusing
little rant though - kinda of Cartman crossed with Dennis Leary.

Check back when you've read one of those nasty "book"
things people keep talking about and you actually know
what a low carb plan really is. Just drat those people
who expect you to have facts, eh?

To attack a concept one must understand the concept. You should learn a
wee bit more about low-carbing before you open your mouth and show this
kind of ignorance on the topic.

I don't think that I would use the non de plume "Foamy the squirrel".
