| Tuesday | Whole-grain toast with eggs | Lentil and vegetable soup | Baked salmon with steamed greens |
| Wednesday | Greek yogurt with fruit and a handful of nuts | Quinoa bowl with roasted vegetables and chickpeas | Grilled chicken breast with sweet potato |
| Thursday | Smoothie with low-fat milk, spinach and banana | Whole-grain wrap with hummus and vegetables | Vegetable and bean chili |
| Friday | Oatmeal with cherries | Turkey and salad sandwich on whole grain bread | Stir-fried tofu with brown rice |
| Saturday | Scrambled eggs with vegetables | Mixed bean salad with olive oil dressing | Grilled fish with roasted vegetables |

Throughout each day: aim for consistent water intake, and swap sugary drinks for water, unsweetened tea or coffee if you already drink it.
Keep in mind: portion size matters as much as food choice. Even moderate foods like poultry and fish are best kept to reasonable servings rather than cut out completely.
