Notes on Nutrition

I'm probably about to make Amy cringe, but I just wanted to share my current nutrition plan. I'm trying to make it as simple as possible. Most of this is designed to be around stuff that's easy to make because, simply, cooking takes too much time.

1 Multivitamin
1 Bottle of Joint Juice (to ward off my DJD in my Left knee - works wonders!!)
2 Mulit-grain waffles with some lite syrup,
2 Turkey sausages, and a glass of 2% milk
1 Boca Burger with a whole wheat bun and a touch of mustard and ketchup
About a 1/2 cup of stick pretzels
1 Can of V8 Fusion (my version of fruit and vegetables)
A chicken patty, about the size of a deck of cards
1 or 2 bowls of oatmeal (flavored)
If I can, 60 - 80oz of water

These are foods I can eat every day and not get tired of it. Only take a few minutes to prepare.

We are currently on a schedule which doesn't allow us to sit at dinner together, but when we do, my wife usually prepares a pretty healthy meal of some pasta, or lean meats, and veggies.

Additionally, I am trying to completely eliminate any fast food and sodas. If I need something, I try to hit a deli or Subway. Had a Chicken Breast salad there the other day with spinach leaves, cucumbers and a little shredded cheese and a touch of ranch dressing. It was fantastic.

  1. Richard...you didn't make me cringe. Actually your food log is not as bad as what I have seen from others. I do have some ideas for you on quick healthy meals. I can email them to you if you would like, just need your email address. Glad to see you cutting out fast food and soda, those are hard to do since you travel a lot like me. Keep up the great work. You will definitely reach your goals with the dedication and motivation that you are showing.
