What do you normally eat during the day? For me, I don't always eat the same thing, but I do usally follow a formula for my work days. For breakfast, it's usually a protein shake with some spinach and sometimes frozen fruit. Lunch is generally a salad with veggies and a lean protein source (grilled chicken, fish, or shrimp). Then finally, dinner is usually lean protein and fresh or frozen vegetables. Depending on my workout schedule, I may add some good complex carbohydrates to one of those earlier meals. What is your go-to plan? Share with us in the comments below!

https://lnkd.in/gnq_7HSB Optimal cooking, growing & storing techniques for Legumes (dried beans). Part 4 of an intensely healthy yet delicious whole food eating regime - often referred to as the Mediterranean Diet. Tips on growing protein rich legumes (beans) at home and community. Easy peasy & fun. After the prolific harvest of these exquisite silky pintos back in 2012 from just 5 pots in a back yard, I was hooked. Since then extra varieties of heirloom non-hybrid, non-GMO, untreated and open pollinated seeds have been procured and lovingly grown and harvested. These include purple climbers, borlotti, scarlet runners, Kennelly yellow and black beans and lima beans. See lots of images in the article. https://lnkd.in/gnq_7HSB
