dont stick to one fruit or vegetable, getting locked into these diets isnt smart.
broccoli and romaine lettuce are good but try switching those out for spinach or kale or any number of other nutririous vegetables.
also white rice isnt terrible but brown rice is better.
maybe more protein for your breakfast, and cut out the protein/fruit bars unless you really can't get any other food during this time. more nutrition in unprocessed food.
almost all fruits and veggies are nutritious but they each are high in different vitamins/minerals/phytonutrients. try to mix it up, an easy way to do that is to eat vegetables of different colors. fruits just mix it up, berries are probably the most nutrient-packed but there's good stuff in apples, mangos, tomatoes, whatever.Originally Posted by Much Respected

What do you recommend for "in-between" snacks so I can start doing that instead of protein/fruit bars.
And what is the concern if you're sticking with a couple fruits or vegetables?
I wouldn't go with a sandwich. You'd lose even more weight if you ate meat only once a day instead of having a sandwich or chicken salad for lunch and then meat again for dinner. Definitely try and get as much color in your diet as you possibly can. Orange vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes) are great for your prostate as well as tomatoes because they're a great source of lycopene. Leafy greens like kale are great as mentioned as well as avocados (even guacamole has its benefits).Originally Posted by JOE CAMEL SMOOTH

for snacks i'd go with fresh fruit instead of fruit bars or nuts (almonds & pistachios are good choices) instead of protein bars. although i mean a sandwhich or a salad or anything like that would be great too, depends on how hungry you are.

Drinking soda is my problem.I seriously need to cut that stuff out, because that's what got me weighing 210 in the first place.
I'm going to try to cut it out again, so let's see how this turns out.

Having said that, I think your diet is sufficient enough, perhaps you could add some carrots or sweet potatoes to add some orange into your life, which is beneficial for prostate cancer prevention, amongst many other illnesses. Try and get some spinach in there, too, so you get a real solid sufficient source of iron. I have a real favorite little pasta dish that would be a real treat for you because of how simple and fortifying it is: get yourself a short pasta and some spinach that you chop up into moderately small pieces and drizzle in some red pepper on top, which is also quite beneficial.Originally Posted by badmoonRison
This is a great thread for me right now. I was in the ER for stomach pains and I think it's my colon, I started to make meals out of the follow only:
pasta
apples
bananas
tomatoes
salad (and veggie toppings like red peppers and onion)
raisin bran
peanuts
lots of water
what do you think?
I'm waiting until my stomach feels better to start running and playing b-ball again.
I'm 5'11" and 210, I want to get back around 180-190.
