The Three-day Food Plan

Ideally, I should have broken my allowable foods into four day groupings. However, I just couldn't figure out a good way to do that, so I'm going with three. Here's how it looks:


[If you open the image above in another tab, it will enlarge for easier viewing.]

As an example, on day one, my protein choices throughout the day are either chicken or turkey. My veggie choices include asparagus, mushrooms, parsnips, and leaf lettuce. And so on. Then on day two I would not be able to eat any of those items I ate on day one. I can only choose from items in the second column. Make sense?

Here's the tricky part. I want to keep things interesting, but I can only choose from the items on the list. Do you see eggs? No. Do you see potatoes (sweet, yellow, or white)? No. And keep in mind that if you try for an egg substitute like ENER-G's egg sub, it contains potato starch, making it a no-no. Do you see soy? No. Do you see onions or garlic? No. Seems like everyone on the planet uses onions and garlic to season their meats. So...the plot thickens.

That leads me to try goofy things that others might not try. And that's where I need your help. If you've got an idea, let me know.
