My simple, redundant eating routine

I've devised the simplest eating regimen I could come up with to enable me to stay on track dietarily.  Rather than having to think about what to eat every morning, I just grab what I need and go.  Here's my simple, fool-proof eating plan:

Breakfast: Myoplex (The regular stuff, not deluxe or light) mixed with 8 oz skim milk and 8 oz water
Mid-morning: cottage cheese, apple, water
Lunch: grilled chicken salad with light ginger salad dressing, and water
Mid-afternoon: a meal replacement bar, kiwi fruit, and water
Dinner: lean meat (steak, venison, fish, chicken), decent carb (potatoes, rice), and veggies (beans or broccoli, usually), and water
Evening: string cheese, apple, and water

I grill a bunch of chicken on Sunday and then refrigerate it for the week.  For a little kick (and a twist on the typical salad theme), sprinkle some chili powder and cumin on the chicken and use salsa instead of salad dressing.  A twist of lime is OK too.

Also, check my Recipes page for a very yummy chicken fajita recipe.

Live well!
