BROWN RICE vs. WHITE RICE

brown rice benefits

Brown Rice

Fat: 0.88 grams
Carbs: 22.39 grams
Protein: 2.52 grams
Brown Rice is fiber-packed and metabolism-boosting. It will keep you filled for longer for negligible calories.

White Rice

Fat: 0.44 grams
Carbs: 44.08 grams
Protein: 3.2 grams
Compared to Brown Rice, White Rice is a nutritionally void starch that will quickly convert into glucose.

SPAGHETTI SQUASH vs. SPAGHETTI

Spaghetti Squash

Fat: 0.4 grams
Carbs: 10 grams
Protein: 1 gram
Spaghetti squash is a great substitute for carb-loaded dishes and gives you freedom to enjoy favorite sauces.

Spaghetti

Fat: 9 grams
Carbs: 55 grams
Protein: 7 grams
Spaghetti quickly converts into glucose and fat. As it is rarely eaten plain, a spaghetti dinner can really take a toll.

FROZEN BANANA vs. 100 CALORIE COOKIE PACKS

Frozen Banana

Fat: 0.5 grams
Carbs: 23.07 grams
Protein: 1.1 grams
Due to texture, temperature, and taste, snacking on a few after a meal alerts your body to stop and not overeat.

100 Calorie Cookie Packs

Fat: 2 grams
Carbs: 33.07 grams
Protein: 1 gram
Unfulfilling empty carbs with nine grams of sugar, these “healthier sizes” should still be avoided.

OATS vs. HASH BROWNS

Oats

Fat: 1.99 grams
Carbs: 18.84 grams
Protein: 3.64 grams
High in fiber, oats offer you a complex carb that will set you up for a day of high metabolism and energy.

Hash Browns

Fat: 10 grams
Carbs: 16 grams
Protein: 1 gram
Much like spaghetti & white rice, hash browns are another empty starch. Not to mention the 10 grams of fat.

GLASS OF RED WINE vs. BEER

Glass of Red Wine

Fat: 0 grams
Carbs: 4 grams
Protein: 0 grams
Thanks to the antioxidant resveratrol, a glass of red wine can boost your calorie burn for a decent hour and a half.

Beer

Fat: 0 grams
Carbs: 12.64 grams
Protein: 1.64 grams
Choose wine over calorie heavy and antioxidant lacking beer. They call it a beer belly for a reason.

BLACK BEANS vs. GROUND BEEF

Black Beans

Fat: 1.38 grams
Carbs: 60.49 grams
Protein: 20.95 grams
Black Beans offer a generous portion of fiber and none of the saturated fat you would find in other protein sources.

Ground Beef

Fat: 4 grams
Carbs: 0 grams
Protein: 24 grams

Egg Salad Sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 6 Hard-boiled Eggs,
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise,
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice,
  • 1 Tbsp. yellow mustard,
  • 1/4 tsp. salt,
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper,
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery,
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion,
  • 8 slices rustic wheat bread,
  • 4 lettuce leaves

Chop eggs.

Mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper in medium bowl.

Add chopped eggs, celery, and green onions; mix well.

Refrigerate, cover, to blend flavors. (Makes about 2 cups egg salad). Serve on wheat bread with lettuce leaves.

DINNER: Garlic Honey Ginger Glazed Salmon with Broccoli

Garlic Honey Ginger Glazed Salmon

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon filets, skin removed (about 2 lbs total),
  • 1/2 cup honey,
  • 1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce (or regular),
  • 2 teaspoons minced or chopped garlic,
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced,
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (optional for garnish:
  • chopped scallion,
  • sesame seeds,
  • sprinkle of parsley for color).

Instructions:

Place the salmon filets in a large zipped-top bag. Whisk the honey, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger together in a medium bowl (I added a sprinkle of dried parsley for color– try chopped scallion!)

Pour half of this sauce over the salmon filets, coating them thoroughly. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Line the marinated salmon filets on the baking sheet. You can hold onto this used marinade– see step 5.

Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on thickness (about 10 minutes per 1-inch thickness— measured from the thickest part of the filet).

You can broil the salmon for the last 3 minutes for crispier edges.

Meanwhile, begin steaming the broccoli and reducing the glaze. First, the broccoli: fill a large saucepan with 1 inch of water.

If you have a steamer, place it inside. Bring water to a boil. Add the broccoli.

Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender.

Now, the glaze:

Pour the remaining, unused marinade into a small saucepan or skillet. If you want, you can add the remaining (used) marinade as well.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat low-medium and allow to simmer for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool and thicken.

Remove cooked salmon from the oven. Some of the glaze may have browned on the edges.

You can discard this.

Garnish the salmon with any of the listed options. Serve with steamed broccoli and additional glaze.

Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for a few days. Reheat to your liking.

Make ahead tip:

You can marinate the salmon up to 4 hours in advance. If needed, you can extend to 8 hours.

You can steam the broccoli and reduce the unused marinade (steps 4 and 5) ahead of time as well.
