Maybe you are wondering what can one eat during such a weight management programme. As I told you, by reading the programme manual, I realised I didn't eat a lot of proteins, and so I had to change this for the programme to be successful.
There are many ways for a vegetarian to get proteins, and here are the solution I chose:
For the breakfast, I like eating seasonal fruits (strawberries for example) and I mix them with low fat yoghurt. This is absolutely delicious!
Another snack I eat usually in the afternoon is a handful of almonds, or salted peanuts or any other sort of nuts.
Another good way to get proteins is by eating beans... and since I was given a real recipe to make hummus, this is a great way to have the whole family eating chick peas. (I'll give you the recipe in another post if you want to know it!)
To make sure my growing son has enough protein, I regularly propose meat free sausages or hamburgers or mince meat (mycoproteins). And what the family loves is when I prepare lasagne using meat free mince (another recipe I can share if you ask!).
Another great way to eat proteins (especially for a Frog) is with cheese. This has the advantage of providing calcium at the same time. I have added some goat cheese, as it is a little bit less fat, and I must admit that goat cheese on a fresh loaf od grain bread is delicious....
I make sure I have a few portions of proteins every day, and if I feel I didn't get enough, I add a meal replacement bar which contains very high quality proteins.
And of course, alongside the proteins make sure you add fresh fruits and vegetables, try to avoid refined sugar and white bread.
I am sure there are tonnes of other way to add proteins to a diet, and I am of course looking forward to your suggestions!
