[quote=Anonymous]Half of your plate should be vegetables.  Aim for at least 1/2 cup of beans or legumes per day.  1-2 egg per day is fine.  I like an arugula or kale salad with an egg on it.  Seeds and nuts are fine.  Chicken and fish are fine.  Avoid red meat and fatty pork like ham or sausage.

Some ideas — 
Breakfast low-fat Greek yogurt with a cup of fruit   Or oatmeal made with milk and a small amount of maple syrup and maybe flaxseed.

Lunch -/ kale salad with egg tomatos and walnuts; arugula salad with egg, apple and pumpkin seeds.  Lentil, carrot and barley soup.  Or canned tuna mixed with chickpeas, herbs, vinegar and mustard.   Or carrots with humus and an apple.

Dinner — grilled salmon, peas, small amount of pasta.  Grilled chicken with farro and lots of roasted vegetables.  (Costco sells a big bag of frozen roasted vegetables you can mix into anything).  Tortilla with beans and eggs tomatos and avocado.  Or tortilla with squash and beans and a small amount of cheese.  Or tortilla with grilled fish, beans and chopped mango.
