Prep tips for day 1

  • ✓Whisk the eggs and chop the vegetables tonight — the cooking itself takes only a few minutes in the morning.
  • ✓Assemble the wrap in the morning and pack the fruit separately so nothing gets soggy by lunch.
  • ✓Keep single-serve yogurt and kefir at eye level in the refrigerator — the easiest snack is the one you see first.

Every day is set at about 1,500 calories. To eat less, drop the second snack and cut starch portions (oats, rice, quinoa, potato) by one-third. To eat more, add 1/2 cup of a whole grain or one extra ounce of protein to lunch and dinner. Protein and non-starchy vegetables stay the same at every level.
