HCG Diet Phase 3 Day 3

My weight is staying pretty much the same so far (knock on wood).  I weighed about an hour earlier than normal this morning.  Hope it continues.  Adding a bit more food today to increase the calories.

Breakfast - (136 calories)
1 container Yoplait Greek Yogurt, Plain
40 grams strawberries, sliced
5 Capella Flavor Drops, Chocolate Fudge Brownie
liquid stevia to taste.
10 oz coffee
3 tbsp 2% milk

This is my first try at Greek yogurt.  It's definitely going to be an aquired taste.  A bit thicker than I'm used to.


Lunch - (515 calories)
*salad
160 grams mixed lettuces
40 grams celery
50 grams onion
83 grams cheese shredded
4 tbsp Bolthouse Farms Classic Ranch Yogurt dressing


Dinner - (579 calories)
*no bun burgers
1 Omaha Steak 4 oz beef burger
1 Jennie-O 4 oz turkey burger
100 grams roma tomato, sliced
30 grams dill pickle, sliced
40 grams onion, sliced
2 tsp Duke's Mayonnaise
1 tbsp Organicville Organic No Added Sugar Ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
few leaves of lettuce

Cooked the burgers in a skillet with a small amount of olive oil until done.  Piled all the veggies on top, placed the ketchup, mustard & mayo on the side. I even cooked two extra patties for another day.

Evening Snack - (25 calories)
*Kale Chips
50 grams kale
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 sprays olive oil cooking spray
sea salt to taste

I've been reading about people making kale chips for weeks.  I've never had kale except if it was somehow snuck into a salad.  These were such a treat, and an answer to late night snacking.  Good thing I made a small batch.

Wash the kale and strip the leaves from the stems.  Tear the leaves into a few smaller pieces.  Toss them in a bag with the vinegar.  Place them on a cookie sheet (I lined mine with parchment paper).  Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with sea salt.  Bake about 10 minutes at 350 degrees.  They're done when most of the moisture is gone.

These can be done with olive oil instead of the spray, with lemon instead of the vinegar, with other seasonings.  Way too many variations to list.

 


Calorie total for the day is 1,255.
