Daily food allowance

[Cam&Simone]

New to this With the daily food allowance, if i have a egg,does that mean the grams of the egg comes off my 120g or 200g allowance of protein food.

Good question. An egg can be enjoyed every second day in addition to the daily protein allowance. You could have it as a soft boiled egg for breakfast or chopped up into a salad in addition to your main protein meal .

Hi, I am also new to this, today is Day 2. If we are allowed an egg (every 2nd day) in addition to the 120gm of protein, does this also apply to the cottage cheese? Or does the cheese have to come off the 120g allowance in a day? Also are we allowed to have a fat free dressing on salad? eg: KRAFT FREE Balsamic Vinegar dressing?
thanks in advance

Hi, cottage cheese does count towards your protein intake, so if you have 100grams of cottage cheese than you should also have 20g from another protein source. If you have 30g of low fat cheese, then you should have 90g from another protein source. An egg has only a small amount of protien when compared to the other protein sources which is why it is best to have it in addition to the 120g protein allowance.

I suggest making a salad dressing using a tablespoon of cold pressed olive oil and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and flavour with herbs. This has great antioxidant properties! Make a bottle of the dressing and store in the fridge for greater convenience.

thanks for that info Tanya. Also just another question as i can't find the answer in the book, Can i for example have a shake for breaky, a salad for lunch and then have my 120g protein & veg for dinner followed by the Mousse? Or do u have to have your meal replacement item at a different time in the day to when u have your protein?

What I love about the MVD is that it is flexible to your individual needs so you can have the shakes for afternoon tea, after a salad for lunch. You can also have the mousse as an additional supplement after your main meal though not more than 3 times a week.
