Nutrisystem Food Examples - Here's a Look at Some of My Favorites

As this is the time of year when we all start to think about finally dropping those extra pounds, I've started getting emails asking me about some of the specifics of the Nutrisystem diet. I've been getting many questions asking me about what types of foods you are allowed to eat, how this food taste, and if the variety and convenience are there. In an attempt to answer these concerns, I'm going to give you some examples of some of my favorite Nutrisystem meals (as well as a sample menu) to hopefully give you a better idea of what types of food choices you have on this diet.

Examples Of My Favorite Nutrisystem Breakfast Foods: Breakfast is very important to me and this diet is sort of unique in that it does limit the amount of "bad" carbs that you consume, but you still get to eat foods that would otherwise be off limits like cereals, breads, and sweets. They have modified the foods to be more "glycemic friendly," but the results do not taste bad and it's very attractive to be able to have these choices.

The sorts of foods on the breakfast menu are foods like: muffins (banana nut, blueberry, cinnamon bun, and chocolate;) scones (apple strudel and chocolate chip;) cold cereals (granola, crispy rice, squares, and frosted crunch;) hot cereals (apple cinnamon oatmeal and brown sugar oatmeal;) as well as some egg and pancake dishes.

I pretty much enjoy all of the breakfast foods, but my favorites are the pancakes and the muffins. I end up eating the cereals the most though because they are the quickest and allow for me to be out the door quickly. Most of these morning foods are in the 100 calorie range with under 5 grams of sugar. They encourage you to add a fresh sides like some fruit to the cereal or yogurt with the muffins.

Examples Of A Nutrisystem Lunch: There are a lot of foods like: soups (chicken noodle, minestrone, and vegetable beef;) salads (Caesar, chicken, and tuna;) and pasta / rice dishes (red beans and rice, rice and sausage, and cheese tortellini) on the lunch menu. You're looking at around 200 calories with these entrees and again you will be encouraged to add a fresh side. There's also granola bars and a turkey hot dog, all of which I really like. I also like the rice and sausage and tortellini.

Sample Nutrisystem Dinners: The dinners are where you get to eat the comfort foods like ravioli, pizza, lasagna, macaroni and cheese, fajitas, hamburgers, pepper steak, and bar b que pork. There are a lot of choices here, but these are some of my favorites. Dinner is where you're allowed the most calories. You're looking at the mid to high 200 calorie range. But still, once you add up your three meals, snacks and desserts and sides, you should still be somewhere in the 1200 calorie range which is about where you want to be to make relatively quick work of the weight loss.

Nutrisystem Dessert And Snack Items: As I have a sweet tooth, these are probably my favorite foods in the entire diet. Yes, the portion sizes are small here, but at least you get to have these things. There's chocolate cake, cookies, "candy" bars, pudding, snack mixes, pretzels, and chips, as a few examples. They all resemble the non diet foods relatively closely meaning that you pretty much look forward to them when you are on this diet, at least I do.

A Day's Worth Of Food On The Nutrisystem Diet (A Sample Menu:) Here's a sample day of foods for this diet. For breakfast, you might have pancakes with fruit. You may have lunch consisting of sausage and rice (with a salad on the side.) You're mid day snack might be cheese puffs and a diet soda. For dinner, you'd have sour dough pizza with salad. For dessert, you might chose the diet's strawberry short cake. In my opinion, this is really not at all bad. I've certainly had worse in terms of taste, variety, and restrictions.

The nice thing about this plan is that you are eating quite regularly, you do get to eat the foods that you're probably eating now (with some modifications,) and you're still lowering your calories and carbs enough to get into ketosis and hopefully lose a decent amount of weight relatively rapidly.
