8-10 nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc.)
1 medium fruit (apple, pear, peach, etc.)

Medium baked potato
1 c. green vegetables (broccoli, spinach, etc.)

I have not made a concrete decision on what route I want to go with the meal plans, but I plan to use them for insite. Being that I have a week to prepare my diet and exercise routine(s), I will continue to research and ask for advice. Again, if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to post.
