Hey Omega what about subway? Are their meats ok? Sometimes my buddys ask me to go out to lunch I figure subway is a fair compromise.

Subway is acceptable where BK or Mcd would NOT

mayo is fine, as is cheese, have a normal DOUBLE meat samwich

limit your self to the chicken though and use whole wheat bread.

also LoAD UP on greens

So turkey is a no go I usually just get a whole wheat sub with spicy mustard lettuce and tomato, with double meat.

Ok cool, How about for dinner can I have green beens or snow peas? Or just a salad? Oh yeah speaking of salad I usually eat baby spinach, should I switch to romaine?

4 sheets (12x18-inches each) Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
4 thin onion slices, separated in rings
2 medium carrots, cut in julienne strips or shredded
4 Alaska Salmon fillets (4 to 6 oz. each), fresh, thawed or frozen
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 Tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt and pepper
Fresh spinach leaves


Preheat oven to 450ºF OR grill to medium-high.

Center onion and carrots on each sheet of Reynolds Wrap Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil. Top with salmon portion. Sprinkle with ginger; drizzle with vinegar and oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. Repeat to make four packets.

Bake packets on a cookie sheet in oven, 21 to 25 minutes for frozen fillets OR 16 to 20 minutes for fresh/thawed fish OR GRILL frozen fish for 19 to 23 minutes or fresh/thawed fish for 14 to 18 minutes in covered grill. Cook just until fish is opaque(see tip) throughout. Serve salmon and vegetables on a bed of spinach. Sprinkle with additional seasoned rice vinegar, if desired.

tip

Fish can be prepared using almost any type of cooking method including baking, steaming, frying, grilling, broiling, or slow cooking. When cooking fish, care must be taken not to overcook the fillet, steak, or whole fish, which results in dry and somewhat tasteless meat. A general rule is to cook a fish 10 minutes for each inch of thickness. Realize that the fish continues to cook after removing it from the heat, so for a more flavorful result, begin checking for doneness prior to the 10 minutes per inch rule, allowing the fish to finish cooking as it sits prior to serving. Since the meat of the fish is somewhat translucent, it begins to become opaque as it cooks, which is another method of visually checking for doneness, especially for fillets that are most often not as thick as fish steaks. When fillets are opaque (white), it is an indicator of doneness. Some varieties of fish contain more fat, such as salmon or tuna, which can be cooked until opaque on the outside while remaining somewhat translucent on the inside. Another test to use for doneness is to check the meat with a knife to see if it is firm and beginning to separate or "flake". If the fish flakes too easily, it may be overcooked. The meat should slightly resist separating, but still be able to be separated, thus indicating it is moist and not too dry. When cooking fish that has not been boned, such as trout or pan fish, the meat should not drop off the bones, but instead should slightly resist removal.

Depend on the time of day you will be eating it... Its already got the veg so a starch or carb to go with it would be nice tee hee. Tell you what all let omega tell you what you can have at the time of the meal. then ill use it to make a recipe.

Brown rice, yams,reg patatos,more veg is never bad I guess. Lets let omega make the meal idea. Ill just cook it up and serve it in a taster way.

So basically a huge slug of meat for dinner and zero carbs.

Is pork ok for a changeup?
