I would suggest slowly adding more veggies in but this is a big step in the right direction.

Often people try too hard in the beginning and end up giving up. Your meal plan isnt bad at all but like most of the people here are stating you can show even more progress with the addition of more veggies and real food. Tuna from a can.. a couple eggs and a piece of chicken doesnt cut it in my book. More dead animals (not from a can).

I agree with the "real food" tip, but like most of us, i work all day and don't have access to a fridge. It's always been a battle for me to find portable meals that i can take with me. any suggestions would help......

Just prepare chicken or whatever the day before and make sandwiches/wraps/pitas, whatever. What I often do is take meat (turkey sausage, chicken breast, pork tenderloin/whatever), mixed beans or chickpeas, and lettuce and wrap it up in a whole wheat pita. Pan fry the meat and beans with a half-second spray of olive oil (I just use PAM olive oil) and do so on medium heat. Past medium heat the oil isn't too good for you (that's when you use coconut oil) , medium and below it's fine Good-tasting stuff!

If you're stuck on recipes or creative ways to eat healthy stuff, I STRONGLY recommend John Berardi's Gourmet Nutrition ($50 shipped). I never prepared/cooked meat before, and the day I cracked open this book I was making some very tasty chicken dishes with ease It's tailored to the total noob at cooking And don't worry the meals take very little time to prepare.

Anyways, I disagree with Honra - I believe he's right for the most part about people needing to take things gradually, I'm just one of those people that does things cold-turkey. I only ate veggies with dinner before starting the diet I've been on for ~3 weeks; now I eat them with every meal (5 meals a day) and have no problem with it.

The way I work veggies in... Natural peanut butter on celery, lettuce & cucumber in sandwiches/wraps, etc., lettuce in salads..obviously (I only have salads with like..beans, chicken, lettuce and some other veggies), SPINACH IN SHAKES (I eat ~6 cups of spinach a day - I swear you can't taste it lol), steamed broccoli, and then sometimes I just take a handful of things raw (carrots/lettuce, etc.)

He's being sarcastic, it's stressed a lot around here that veggies should be eaten with every meal; based on that, 3/7 is illogical.
