Hi Hollie,
You're very welcome.
As far as meats and dairy, you bet ... I eat them. I have beef once or twice a week. I eat chicken once or twice a week and I eat ground turkey once a week to once every two weeks. I do eat eggs, but mainly around the holidays, otherwise, I have to be in a mood and craving those little buggers.
Like this week, I’ve having beef twice (a roast on Sunday and tomorrow is a 5-oz steak broiled)… chicken once and ground turkey once. The rest is all the other stuff that makes up a wide variety diet. Did I say that Friday night’s are pizza nights? I don’t count that in my meat / dairy. That’s just my little secret. Kind of like if you have a diet coke with a candy bar, the calories don’t count … hehehe … ;-). Oh yes, I’ve got to have some simple pleasures after all.
Now skim milk ... 2 - 3 cups a day. If I have a really hard workout, I've drank up to a 1/2 gallon of milk ... but I think that is more that my body is just craving it after one of my martial arts events that knocks me on my butt for days. Yogurt, I try to eat once a day - I go more in sprits than anything else. Now cheese ... everyday at least once a day, no more than twice a day. The cheese that I eat is mostly fresh Parmesan cheese. I do eat light shredded cheeses during the week maybe once or twice … that’s about it in the cheese department. Don’t do Velveeta or any kind of processed sliced junk … I just don’t like the taste, way too much salt, calories, fat, and just icky stuff.
The dairy and meats make up a small part of my diet but it does take up a lot of fat in my diet. Especially the cheese, I cannot give that up, I just cannot do it. * hangs head in shame. *
That’s the great thing about moderation … you can have your pizza and eat it too just ever so often. ;-)
Keta.
