Modified Military Diet

 Modified Military Diet

This is modified to make it similar to an Atkins Induction diet, and to fit with what is easy for me to prepare.  I think the original diet is very complicated with a wide variety of foods.  This is simpler.

Day 1

Breakfast (190 calories)

  • 1 whole grapefruit (instead of ½ grapefruit)
  • 1 slice Hero bread
  • 1 hard-boiled egg (instead of 2 tablespoons peanut butter)
  • Black coffee or tea (optional)

Lunch (250 calories)

  • 1 can tuna (instead of ½ can)
  • 1 slice Hero bread
  • Black coffee or tea (optional)

Dinner (320 calories)

  • 4 oz tofu (instead of meat)
  • 1 can green beans with soy sauce (instead of 1 cup)
  • 1 grapefruit (instead of 1/2 banana and 1 small apple) 
  • salad with light dressing (optional)
  • 1 small container Kroger Carbmaster yogurt (instead of 1 cup vanilla ice cream)

Day 2

Breakfast (190 calories)

  • 1 whole grapefruit (instead of 1/2 banana)
  • 1 slice Hero bread
  • 1 hard-boiled egg 
  • Black coffee or tea (optional)

Lunch (400 calories)

  • 1 hard-boiled egg
  • 1 slice Hero bread (instead of 5 saltine crackers)
  • 1 can tuna (added)
  • 1 small container Kroger Carbmaster yogurt (instead of 1 cup cottage cheese)

Dinner (500 calories)

  • 1 small can of Vienna sausages (instead of 2 hot dogs) with mustard
  • 1 cup broccoli (or broccoli slaw)
  • ½ cup carrots (optional)
  • 1 whole grapefruit (instead of ½ banana)
  • salad with light dressing (optional)
  • 1 small container Kroger Carbmaster yogurt

Day 3

Breakfast (300 calories)

  • 1 whole grapefruit (instead of 1 small apple)
  • 1 slice Hero bread (instead of 5 crackers)
  • 1 oz cheese stick (mozzarella or cheddar, instead of 1 slice cheddar cheese)
  • 1 hard-boiled egg (added)
  • Black coffee or tea (optional)

Lunch (310 calories)

  • 1 hard-boiled egg
  • 1 slice Hero bread
  • 1 can tuna (added)

Dinner (320 calories)

  • 1 can tuna 
  • 1 can green beans with soy sauce (instead of 1 cup)
  • 1 whole grapefruit (instead of ½ banana)

Every item on here is very low calorie, except for the cans of tuna (200 calories each) and Vienna sausages (290 calories)
