The Perfect Induction?

[CoachW44]

If you had to design (food wise) the perfect first couple of weeks for a beginer what would your basic meals be? Repition is not an issue, this persons goal is effectiveness and not entertainment so the same basic meals are just fine.

Re: The Perfect Induction?

Difficult as what you like to eat are probably different to what I like to eat but here are the kinds of meal I had on induction.

I havent mentioned quantities but bear in mind the cheese 'allowance' of 3-4 ounces and that we can have up to 3 cups of vegetables from the 2 lists.

Also that we ought to be getting 'most' of our carbs from our veggies, so choose those with more carbs than plain old lettuce unless you dont intend to eat cheese, eggs or cream which all have carbs!!

Breakfast:
Meat/cream cheese rollups plus some cherry tomatoes
A slice or two of crustless quiche made from eggs/cheese/cream/cooked meat/cooked veg
Revolution Rolls spread with butter and Marmite (yeast extract spread)

Lunch (usually at a local cafe):
Eggs, bacon & mushrooms plus tomatoes if I havent had them for breakfast
Roast Chicken (skin on) with broccolli/green beans/cauliflower - with a pat of butter melted over them
Pork chops with similar veg or a salad/mayo
Green salad with chopped pieces of chicken & bacon over plus mayo

Supper:
Crustless quiche as for breakfast but with a side salad of red peppers/mushrooms/chopped celery + mayo
Cauliflower in a rich cheese sauce (melt 2 ounces of grated cheese, one fluid ounce of cream and 1/2 ounce of cream cheese together)
Chicken curry served over caulirice
Hamburger 'pie' with some salad stuff
Chicken drumsticks with mashed turnips/butter

Snacks if needed:
Meat/cheese rollups
Celery stuffed with cream cheese or pate
Chopped celery in mayo
Piece of quiche
Leftover anything (I always cooked more than the one meal's worth of most dishes to make sure there were leftovers available).

Always plan in advance so you have food available when you feel hungry so you won't be tempted to eat off-plan because you have nothing suitable ready to grab.

Re: The Perfect Induction?

I'm with Elizellen. The best menu is made from the foods on the Induction Acceptable Foods list you like to eat or you are able to eat (for example, if you are allergic to eggs, you shouldn't be eating them.)

So really, the person needs to sit down with the Induction Acceptable Foods List and the Rules of Induction and see which foods they like.
