Meal 1. 10″ Whole wheat/corn flour crepe filled with 1/3 cup of shredded chicken, white lentils, duxelles and 5 crushed cashews sauteed in a bit of butter and cream, salt to taste. Add a few shavings of smoked gouda, and you have a home run breakfast to fuel the toughest workouts!
Meal 2: Post work-out meal. I had a whole wheat roti with a little under a cup of ground lamb cooked up with duxelles, a touch of cream, some grape tomatoes, and a few pieces of roasted red pepper. This was soooo delicious, and quick!
Meal 3: Another crepe, this time stuffed with about 1/3 c of chicken a la king. I know it sounds rich, but chicken a la king is really just a little bit of milk thickened with a simple roux, some iron-rich peas, carrots and cauliflower, and loads of tender, shredded chicken. It’s a pretty healthy high protein, low carb dish, that marries well with the sweetness of the crepe.
Meal 4. 1/2 cup whole milk yogurt with about 3 T dry oats, soaked over night to make a thick meuslix. I added about 1 tsp honey, and the fruit of one small alphonso mango, and I had this after my 4:30 Bikram Yoga class. Today is my metabolic workout day, and my metabolism is seriously through the roof. I’m consciously trying to super load up with dense carbs, (I normally never eat this much grain product in one day, I prefer meat,fruit and vegetables, but this is for a very specific diet protocol, so I’m changing my
taste preferences around!)

eal 5. 1 cup of chicken a la king with a whole wheat roti. I also had a small latte on my way to the gym, as I could tell my crepe wasn’t going to last til Meal 2, and half-way through my workout I actually had to grab a banana, that’s how hungry I was getting…
Yum! Sounds really tastey!
Oh, it was, trust me! Yummilicious for my hard working muscles! 🙂
