If you've been wonder exactly what the term "eat clean"
means, here is the Coles Notes version.
Here it goes:
For each meal, start with a small portion of fresh fish, chicken
breast, lean steak, egg whites, low fat cottage cheese, tofu,
or other lean protein, and combine it with a small portion of
fresh fruit, cooked oatmeal, baked potato, steamed rice, 100%
whole grain bread, pasta or other complex carbohydrate. Include
a green vegetable and 8 ounces of water to round things out.
Bake, broil, grill or microwave when cooking, using a small
amount of olive, canola oil or cooking spray if needed.
Meals are small - no bigger than your two clinched fists held
together - and are eaten every 2-1/2 to 3 hours throughout
the day. Don't stuff food down, but don't let yourself get too hungry either.
Skip heavy sauces, sweets, sausages, cheeses and cream.
