One of the most common inquiries that I get about Medifast are questions meant to determine what you would eat on a regular or daily basis. In short, people are usually trying to determine what their day would look like in terms of food intake. So, in the following article, I will go over a day of what you might eat on this diet. Keep in mind that there are several possibilities because there are a lot of food or menu choices. But I have chosen popular foods that many people enjoy. By no means is this an exhaustive list, but it should give you a general idea of the types of choices available.
A Typical Medifast Breakfast: Medifast has recently added cold cereal to their line up and although I like the oatmeal, I am so happy that there is another option when you don't feel like heating up warm cereal. As of right now, they are offering this cold cereal in two flavors: cinnamon and brown sugar and berry crunch. I prefer the cinnamon but both are good. The pancakes are another relatively new offering and they are also very good. There's also the oatmeal and the eggs, both of which are older standbys but still quite good.
Morning Snack: The list of possibilities here is very large. You could theoretically have another item that's meant for breakfast. Or you could go with one of the liquid options like the shakes, one of the coffees, or one of the fruit drinks. If you'd prefer solid food, you could go with the bars, the brownies, or the soft bake (which is sort of like a soft chocolate chip cookie.)
Medifast Lunch Example: I believe that the most popular lunch options are the soups, chili, stew, or the sloppy joe. There are many cream based soups (like cream of tomato, chicken, and broccoli, but to me they are a bit lighter and less filling.) Plus, the chili and the sloppy joe can be used to fashion a burrito or something that seems a bit more substantial. But the truth is, you'll be eating again in only a few hours at your afternoon snack, so the size of the meal isn't usually that big of an issue.
Afternoon Snack Possibilities: Again, there are a huge amount of possibilities here. It's my theory that more people go with the sweets for the morning snack while they hit the salty items in the afternoon. I could be wrong about this, but I notice a lot more chips and pretzels being consumed after 2:00. There are many flavor choices here. Examples are cinnamon and honey mustard pretzels, barbeque and pizza bites, and nacho cheese and parmesan cheese puffs. If you'd like something sweet, the pudding is a good choice here.
Typical Medifast Dinners: I believe that most people chose dinner as the time to eat their lean and green meal. This is the meal that you make or provide for yourself. It can be a very simple meal of 5 -7 ounces of lean protein and 3 servings of low glycemic vegetables. This can be accomplished with a soup, stew, stir fry, or lean protein with a 3 side vegetables. Now, you can have your lean and green meal at anytime. Some people do chose to consume it at breakfast or lunch. But I feel that the dinner lean and green meal is the most popular choice because people enjoy sitting down to a larger meal with their loved ones and dinner is probably the easiest time to do this.
Nightly Medifast Snack: I have to admit that I've heard people say that they can't fit this snack in very easily. In that case, you could always have this snack for a dinner time dessert. This would work well if you choose one of the dessert type options like the brownie, soft serve ice cream, or soft bake. I actually really like having cereal at night and this would probably be my choice.
Again, this is just an example of one day's worth of possibilities. There are countless ways to change this up. And you probably should change it up relatively regularly so that you don't get bored. I think it's a good idea to occasionally have a nice brunch for your lean and green meal or lunch out so that you shake things up a bit from time to time.
