My New Menu Plan for 2008

For optimal weight loss, I should be eating 3 meals and 2 snacks every day so that my body doesn’t go into starvation mode and therefore mess up my metabolism even more.
Additional calories and fat will be added through the addition of olive oil or butter in the preparation of my meals so I will have to account for that through FitDay. I'm sure as time goes on, I will be experimenting with my menu options a little more but right now I want to keep things super simple. I have used the (*) to separate meal options.
