Meal Movement - Day 4

Yesterday I wound up not eating any of the food from MealMovement and this morning I had oatmeal.

Today's lunch

Caliente Breaded Chicken Patty

4oz

Calories - 240

Fat - 12g

Sodium 900g

Carbs 8

Sugar 4

Protein 20g

Normandy Veggie Blend

4oz

Cal - 38

Fat - 0g

Carbs 7g

Sugars - 4g

Protein - 2g

The chicken is Caliente, hot, spicy. The breading is so-so a very unusual texture, but tasty. The veggies are crisp and crunchy. I didnt add anything to either the chicken or the veggies. I had considered mustard on the chicken but I think it would not go well with the spices.

The chicken is a little dry but I nuked it for 2:30 which was probably a little too long.

It's filling and only 278 calories. For me that's about 150 calories short of where I should since I'm supposed to be getting about 2500 cals per day. Dividing 2500 by 5 meals per day and each one should be about 500 cals. Adding in a little nut butter or whole nuts would round it out nicely.

Meal Movement - Day 1 to 3

As some of you know, I joined a program called MealMovement.com . This company packages meals based on your choices, cooks them, ships them out FedEx ground to your door. The food is 100% natural, but not organic. Unlike Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers or Nutri-systems this food is real food, made fresh. You choose from a fairly extensive selection of breakfast, lunch, dinners and snacks and within a few days it will arrive at your door in a huge box. Inside the box is a cooler full of food and dry ice.

My food came in Saturday so we decided to start on Monday morning.

Monday morning bright and early 5:30a. Pulled out 2 egg "patties" and a maple sausage and popped them in the microwave. I was underwhelmed and not full. Normally on Monday, Wednesday and Friday Cheryl fixes me 6 eggs (4 whole eggs and some liquid, organic of course, egg whites) plus spinach and whatever else we have around like salsa.

By 8 I was hungry and had a banana and some peanut butter.

In the afternoon I had Teriyaki Chicken and some veggies. Those were pretty good. The chicken was tender and tasty, the veggies were crunchy the way they should be.

Monday night we had a sausage concoction and more veggies. Those were decent.

Tuesday morning, I had Cheryl-made muesli, but for lunch I had another type of sausage from MealMovement.com and more veggies. Not too bad at all.

We decided to eat some left-overs from the weekend instead of heating up the pre-packaged stuff.

Wednesday morning - Cheryl heated 2 omelets, 2 egg patties and a maple sausage on the stove, then we put some salt and pepper on them. MUCH better than Monday and I was full until my usual 8:30 feeding time.

The snacks from MealMovement.com are cheese sticks, sausage sticks, pistachios, and other nuts. Honestly these things you should pick up yourself at Whole Foods to save you money.

Speaking of money. The full 28 days of breakfast, lunch and dinner plus snacks was $420 and some change including shipping, that breaks down to about $15/day, very inexpensive. You can easily spend $15 for lunch alone.

I'll keep updating you on the various meals and how they taste. In the meantime you can check out their site MealMovement.com

Meal Movement - A New Way to Eat Healty

IronBody is proud to announce or affiliation with a new meal preparation service called Meal Movement .

For 40 years America has dieted.

For 40 years our diets have failed. Why? Processed foods must be removed from the diet. Counting calories or adding points must be removed from the diet.

Time consuming food preparation must be removed from the diet. Americans are busy. Busy people need something fast yet healthy.

Unfortunately all weight loss meal delivery programs contain 60-80% processed foods. Not us. The whole concept of ‘diet’ must be removed from the equation. We are not just another ‘diet’. We are a movement. A movement away from processed foods and a movement back to simple, basic, natural foods like meats, vegetables and eggs. A movement to simplicity without all the confusing rocket science nutrition. A movement back to the ‘meal’. Something we have overlooked for the past 40 years.

Cheryl's Healthy MeatLoaf

I love this meatloaf. It very good, very healthy and very filling.

Cheryl's Best Hardy Gourmet Meatloaf Ever,and no I am not kidding!!

Preheat oven to 350 and mix the following ingredients into a large glass bowl

1 lb Buffalo, or lean organic ground beef, or 94% Laura's lean ground beef from Kroger.
4 finely chopped mushrooms
2 slices of onions 1/4 inch thick chopped fine
2 sticks of celery sliced in 3 strips and then chopped fine
1/6 to 1/4 green bell pepper sliced in strips and chopped fine
1/6 to 1/4 red bell pepper sliced in strips and chopped fine
1/6 to 1/4 orange bell pepper sliced in strips and chopped fine
1/6 to 1/4 yellow bell pepper sliced in strips and chopped fine
1/4 cup organic ketchup
1/3 cup old fashion organic oat meal
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon organic pepper depending on how much you like pepper
1/4 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
1 large free range egg

Now sprinkle organic garlic lightly over whole thing

Then stick your hand in the bowl of meat and stuff.

Mix well with your hand. Yuck, mix it more.

Spread a teaspoon olive oil with fingers on the bottom of a baking dish.
Put it in the baking dish and shape it to a loaf, or a heart, or whatever.

Decorate with ketchup in thin strips which adds a lot of flavor.

Cheryl once wrote, "Eat Me" on a heart shaped meatloaf, it was funny as hell .
