Day three

Breakfast: Avocado toast

Melt one or two slices of part-skim Swiss cheese onto 1 or 2 slices of sprouted, whole-grain toast. Mash up ¹/₄ cup of ripe avocado with sliced tomato and parsley. Top toast with avocado mash and a pinch of salt and pepper. Enjoy with an orange or half of a grapefruit.

Lunch: Salmon salad

Load up a bowl with 2 handfuls of arugula. Top with half of a roasted acorn squash and 3 ounces of canned or grilled salmon, plus a generous handful of pomegranate seeds and another handful of cooked white beans. Dress with 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

Top with 4 turkey meatballs, 1 cup of sauteed or steamed cauliflower, 1 cup of sauteed or steamed broccoli and ¹/₂ cup of low-sugar marinara pasta sauce.

Day four

Breakfast: Veggie omelet

Coat skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, heat to medium, then pour in 2 beaten eggs. Add a fistful of raw spinach, plus ¹/₄ cup each of sliced artichoke hearts and chopped mushrooms (sauteed in 1 teaspoon of olive oil), and cook, flipping in half once the eggs are set.

Lunch: Open-faced turkey sandwich

Toast a slice of whole-grain bread and spread with 2 small spoonfuls of Dijon mustard. Top with 2 or 3 slices of turkey, half of a sliced apple and a fistful of arugula.

Snack: Peanut butter spread over a banana and frozen

Dinner: Tuna niçoise salad

Put two handfuls of arugula in a bowl and top with a can of drained tuna, a handful of cherry tomatoes, 1 small potato (boiled and sliced thinly), a palm-sized amount of olives and fresh-squeezed lemon juice to taste.

Quick tip: Make takeout work for you. Get your favorite indulgent takeout order, but also order a hefty vegetable dish. Cut the two dishes in half and either share or save the other half for leftovers. “One [half] is your favorite dish, like orange chicken, and one [half] is a healthy dish, like steamed vegetables,” Young says.Getty ImagesQuick tip: Make takeout work for you.

Day five

Breakfast: Whole-grain waffle

Toast 1 frozen whole-grain waffle and spread a spoonful of almond butter on it. Top with 1 cup of sliced strawberries.

Lunch: Cauliflower bowl

In ¹/₂ tablespoon of olive oil, saute 1 cup of riced cauliflower over high heat. In a separate pan, use the other ¹/₂ tablespoon of oil to saute a cup of mixed veggies such as snap peas, carrots, broccoli and onions, plus a deck-of-cards-sized portion of chicken. Finish with 2 teaspoons of low-sodium soy sauce or teriyaki sauce and serve over cauliflower rice.

Snack: Cored and halved apple, baked at 350 degrees for 10 minutes with cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg to taste, plus 1 tablespoon of walnuts.

Dinner: Skirt steak or tempeh

Grill a deck-of-cards-sized piece of steak or tempeh. Toss ¹/₂ cup of sweet potatoes (cut into dice-sized cubes) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and roast in a 400-degree oven. Then serve with a handful of kale leaves massaged with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, plus a tablespoon of dried cranberries. Serve next to your grilled protein.

Quick tip: You don’t need to get out a scale and measuring cups to make sure you’re not overdoing it. Imagining everyday objects can be useful: A serving of fruit or veggies is the size of a baseball. The right amount of cheese would be about four dice. The right amount of cereal is about the size of your fist.Tamara BeckwithQuick tip: You don’t need to get out a scale and measuring cups to make sure you’re not overdoing it.
