Simple Diet Menu #2

Article by Diet Bites

Today we'll enjoy a simple menu of oatmeal for breakfast and as we skip towards lunch quite easily - because the oats are going to keep us feeling quite full until then, we'll enjoy a serving of healthy black beans that are packed with dietary fiber content.

Well also enjoy some cheese and corn chips on the beans which will create a recipe that is akin to corn chip pie - minus all the typical calories and fat which are associated with such.

For our dinner menu we'll enjoy a lean broiled pork chop, a serving of health-wise soup, a side salad and a wholesome piece of whole grain bread with reduced calorie margarine. And we even have room for a bedtime snack.
