Answer:

Monday:

-Breakfast: Banana, a hard boiled egg, a piece of whole grain wheat toast with a ting amount of butter on it

-Snack: A sliced up apple and one tablespoon of peanut butter

-Lunch: A sandwich with three slices of turkey, a slice of cheddar cheese, a teaspoon of mayonnaise, a slice of tomato, and an orange on the side (Full orange, not mandarin)

-Dinner: Grilled chicken with a dry rub, a spinach salad with balsamic vinegar, and sliced tomatoes, and a slice of toasted bread (such as a baguette) with a small amount of butter.

-Dinner: A small serving of spaghetti with roasted greenbeans on the side. Ground beef as a source of protein and a light serving of cheese on top of the noodles.

These meals help create a balanced meal plan for two days. There is a source of protein in every meal, including snacks, though in the snacks you could say the protein is a fat. There is either a fat or dairy product in each meal, usually one or the other. Every main meal (excluding snacks) includes a grain and a fruit or vegetable (preferably vegetable). 8 glasses of water is also prescribed to be drunken each day.

-The isles to go down for this grocery list is the dairy isle, the bread isle, the pasta isle, the meat section of the store, the product section, and spreads isle

Grocery list:

-Cheddar cheese

-Feta cheese

-Pack of non-fat greek yogurt

-Pack of butter

-Tomato

-Carton of eggs

-Jar of peanut butter
