How do I "Eat-Clean"?

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.
Check out Tosca Reno's series of books - she's got some great - simple 
straight forward advice on how to eat for success. Her recipes are yummy
and won't leave you feeling hungry or deprived!
