(one of my classmate post)
A one-day meal plan.
[Macronutrients, Micronutrients]
*Additional note* You can’t go wrong with eating yummy berries (well, you can, but not easily for most people), so eat a handful with every meal if you can (fiber, iron, manganese, vitamins A, C, and some B’s, as well as many antioxidants)
Breakfast:
Scrambled eggs (protein) with steamed chard (fiber, magnesium, iron, vitamins A,C, and K) and mushrooms (magnesium, potassium, B6), moose sausage (protein, iron), a slice of whole grain toast (fiber, carbohydrates) water (STAY HYDRATED), small milk cup (fat, calcium)
Lunch:
Salmon (protein, healthy fat, iron) Salad- red leaf lettuce (water, iron), spinach (fiber, water, iron), your choice of vegetables (fiber, as well as a wide assortment of nutritious micronutrients depending on the veggies used), sunflower seeds (fiber, protein, selenium, magnesium, vitamin E), croutons (carbohydrates), glass of water and/or some watered down juice
Snack:
Moose jerky (protein, fiber) and wild berries (everything listed in the notes on berries above)
Dinner:
Cous cous (fiber, carbohydrates, protein) bear steak (protein, fat, iron), and go ahead and do something easy for your veggies here and do a canned mixed vegetable option. I like the corn, carrot, green bean combo.
