Would you like to help me plan a month of meals?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) July 7th, 2010

For anyone who has ever answered any question for me on fluther I hereby thank you. That said, I admonish you to answer this question not only by the spirit of how I am asking it, but by the rules I am setting. If you don’t, well, what can I do… But please try to only answer if you can handle following the rules of the question.

So, anyway, I want to have a set diet that I can plan and buy at least a month in advance.

For the purposes of this question month will mean 30 days. I am only worried about the three main meals for the plan. Of those 90, the first meal of each day will be breakfast and I will eat, cereal or oatmeal, or fruit or a combination of those, and won’t need help planning it. That leaves 60 meals to know ahead of time starting with lunch day one, then dinner day one, right down the line to lunch day 30, dinner day 30.

I like fish, but not salmon, or fishy fish. I like turkey, and chicken. I could rap up lunch and eat a turkey sandwich everyday. I like fruit, including bananas but they make me sick a little. I love beans…especially lentils. And things that store well would make life easy. I also have a serious pressure canner that I am afraid to preserve things with for fear of botulism.

I am trying to stay well below 50% of my daily recommended intake of saturated fat, and eating about 50–75% of my daily recommended total fats (I am taking fish oil and not counting it here).

I am also totally avoiding foods that are battered and deep fried, all cheese (except romano on pasta), red meat, pork, ice cream (substitued for hagendaz low fat vanilla yogurt maybe once a week), no to very little mayo, no heavy creams, except very sparingly…

If you would like to answer please do so in this manner:

Poster #1 would write: 1L: turkey sandwich 1D: turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce.

So that would be someone suggesting day ones lunch, and day ones dinner.

Then Poster #2 would write: 2L: turkey sandwich 2D:turkey sandwich.

and so on.

After the recommendation if you want to make a slew of comments in the same answer that is great, as long as everyone suggests meals in order, as they are suggested.

Hopefully, I would not be the only person to gain from this, and maybe some of you would like to do this as well.

The most important goal I have is this…..

At the end of the month I hope to have eaten meals that do not leave any nutrients out, and occur at their most helpful points.

Thanks for your interest, and I hope you participate. If this works…and everyone does offer suggestions in the manner I’ve requested Then I will combine them, and open this month diet to discussion.

Thank you very much for your participation.
