Jennifer’s breakfasts and lunches look a lot like mine. For breakfast she seems to alternate between cereal with fruit, milk or nonfat plain Greek yogurt and eggs done some simple way. Most days for lunch she has some combination of sandwich, soup and/or salad.
She makes sure to include plenty of foods she likes, especially at dinner where Chinese takeout, sushi and chicken wings appear on the menu. And her snacks include several of my favorites: apples with peanut butter, light microwave popcorn, and the occasional nonfat Chai latte.
How Does Jennifer Hudson’s Eating Style Differ From Mine?
The major differences between Jennifer’s meal plan and mine?
I eat a lot more nuts and leave room for a moderate amount of wine. And I also shy away from low fat mayo, salad dressings and whipped topping, preferring full fat mayo, homemade salad dressings and the occasional dollop of real whipped cream instead
