SUMMER NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD

USING THE MEAL PLAN


Welcome to the 2016 Lurong Living Summertime Challenge.
This comprehensive meal plan has been developed as a tool
to help you incorporate a healthy, whole-food based diet into
your daily lifestyle. This plan is 100% optional, so approach it like
a template for success. We encourage you to customize and
adjust it to meet your personal goals. This plan is also tailored to
compliment the Nutrition U Series that is released at the start of
the Challenge.
Step 1 in using the meal plan is to simply to start enjoying eating
and cooking with whole-foods. Dont feel like you have to count
your calories or record your exact macro-nutrient breakdown,
especially if this is your first Challenge. The magic of whole foods
is that they tend to naturally regulate portion control and give you
freedom to listen to your body. After all, whoever over-indulged
on vegetables?
That being said, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with
our macro-nutrient and calorie recommendation which you will
find in the Nutrition U series on the Challenge site.
Step 2 is taking the extra time for advanced tracking. Tracking
your macro-nutrient and calorie consumption and journaling
your response along the way is a power tool for dialing in your
nutrition and lifestyle. This step is most widely used by those
trying to lose 15% or more of their current body weight or serious
athletes who are either training for competitions or trying to gain
lean muscle mass.

Copyright 2016 Lurong Living

The Template
The meal plan provides the serving size, calories, and
macro-nutrient breakdown for each meal. Each days 3-meal
template generally results in a 1,100-1,300 calorie daily total.
This calorie total below is what most athletes will need. The 3
daily meals intentionally dont take into account any snacks or
supplementation you may include, so again, the plan is a starting
point to get you up and running. Depending on your nutritional
needs you will want to adjust either your snacks or the number of
servings of the daily meals outlined in the plan. You may need to
cook more, and shop for more food, but the templates will allow
you to double up on the primary recipes and use leftovers for
lunches and dinner re-runs.
Additionally, athletes who are looking to either gain mass or
are training at a high level may choose to substitute or add
some Pro Level accepted starches and grains to increase their
carbohydrate loads.
So How Many Calories Do I Need?
Make sure to review the entire Nutrition U Series via the
Challenge site for more details, but here is starting point to get
you moving in the right direction.
General Calorie Guidelines:
GOALS

CALORIES PER LB.


OF BODY WEIGHT

EXAMPLE
Multiply your weight by the calories per lb.
recommendations.

Weight Loss

10-12 calories per lb.

150 lb. person = 1,500-1,800 cal/day

Weight Maintenance

14-16 calories per lb.

150 lb. person = 2,100-2,400 cal/day

Weight Gain
(Muscle Building)

20-22 calories per lb.

150 lb. person = 3,000-3,300 cal/day

Extreme Weight Loss

10-12 calories based


on ideal body weight

300 lb. person whos goal weight is 200 lbs.


could start on a 2200 cal/day diet

SUMMER NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD

USING THE MEAL PLAN contd...


Factors that can change calorie needs include:
1. Genetics
2. Gender
3. Age
4. Endocrine Function
5. Diet
6. Exercise

Losing weight is not a sprint, so pay close attention to your


body. Resisting cravings for sugar or comfort foods is part of the
process, but being too hungry from under consuming healthy
calories will actually slow your long-term progress. You can use
the Add-On section of the Nutritional Information chart to add
extra foods in order to reach your goals. If you have any specific
questions, please let us know.

Depending on your activity level and how your body responds,


you may want to adjust the numbers up or down by up to 15%.

Sincerely,
The Challenge Team

much bubbling like typical pancakes, so be careful when flipping.
You want to make sure the pancakes are cooked enough before

chicken breast, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 diced onion. Cook until chicken is fully
cooked and onion is translucent (about 12 minutes or so). A few minutes before meat is
done, pile 3 cups baby spinach in pan so it wilts down. Stir spinach into chicken mixture as
it cooks down. Then set aside until squash is done roasting. Once the squash has finished
cooking, turn the halves over so they cool faster (Make sure to use oven mitts because
they will be hot!). Once they are cool, use a fork to scrape with the grain of the squash to
harvest the strands. Transfer strands into the pan with the chicken mixture, season with
sea salt and black pepper to taste. Toss so everything gets evenly combined.
Serve with Baked Sweet Potato with tbsp. ghee (per person).

SCALLION PANCAKES

BEAN KALE AND EGG STEW

Recipe origin: studio-snacks.com


Serves: 1-2

Ingredients:
8 oz. cauliflower
cup water
cup scallions
cup onion finely chopped
2 eggs
tsp. sea salt
2 Tbsp. coconut oil

Recipe origin: foodnetwork.com


Serves: 4

Directions:

Begin by preparing your cauliflower.


Manually cut into coarse florets then mince
through a food processor. If you dont have
a food processor, you may also mince your
cauliflower through a vegetable grater.
In a large saucepan fitted with a lid, heat up
cup of water until it is boiling. Immediately
place all of the minced cauliflower in the
saucepan, give it a quick stir, cover, and turn
off the heat. Let steam for 10 minutes (be
precise! set a timer).
Once the 10 minutes is up, remove the
cauliflower from the saucepan into a fine
mesh bag and squeeze all of the moisture out
(There will be quite a lot! Reserve this liquid to
add to your next vegetable soup/broth.) Move
the strained cauliflower into a small bowl and
set aside.
Mince your onion and chop your scallion into
rounds. Crack two eggs into a small bowl.
Whisk the eggs with a fork, then toss it, along
with the scallions, onion, cauliflower, and
teaspoon of sea salt in a medium bowl until
well combined.

Ingredients:

Directions:

2 Tbsp. olive oil


small red onion, chopped
Two 15-ounce cans kidney or pinto beans,
one can drained and rinsed, one can liquid
reserved
1 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable
broth
2 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch kale, stemmed and torn into 2-inch
pieces (about 10 cups)
4 large eggs

Preheat broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in


a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft,
about 4 minutes. Add the beans and reserved
bean liquid, chicken broth, soy sauce,
teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black
pepper. Bring to a simmer, add the kale and
stir until wilted; bring back to a simmer and
cook until the kale is tender and the stew is
slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Remove
from the heat, cover and keep warm.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large
nonstick skillet. Once the oil is hot, crack the
eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites
begin to set up, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle
each egg with pepper, cover and continue
to cook until the whites are completely set
and the yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes
more. Remove from the heat.
Divide the stew among four bowls, topping
each with an egg.

In a large fry-pan, heat up 2 tablespoons of


oil on medium heat, then place all of the egg
mixture into the pan. Spread it out with a
spatula to evenly cover the whole pan. Let fry
for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Flip the pancake. Slide the pancake (browned
side still down) from the pan onto a large
plate, invert the fry pan onto the plate, and
flip both together back onto the stove,
making it so that the uncooked side is now at
the bottom. Cook for another 3 minutes or so,
until also golden brown.
Slide the pancake from the pan to a large
plate and cut into 6 pieces. Sprinkle with
moresea salt and serve hot.
