I have recently started on a similar venture and would very much appreciate if I could ask you for advice from time to time, as I seem to have very simalar circumstances. My biggest problem at present is a re-occuring calf muscle injury that has put a halt on my running. I enjoyed the comments on the green smoothies. Keep up the great work.

Me: So what do you put on your spinach salads? Coach David: - Chicken, cut and cubed - Almonds - Croutons (not too many) - Boiled egg - Blueberries, raisins or dried cranberries - Vinaigrette dressing But everyone is different. This version might make you gag. The key is some crunchy stuff, some protein, and some sweet stuff.

Me: So what do you put on your spinach salads?

Coach David:

- Chicken, cut and cubed
- Almonds
- Croutons (not too many)
- Boiled egg
- Blueberries, raisins or dried cranberries
- Vinaigrette dressing

But everyone is different. This version might make you gag. The key is some crunchy stuff, some protein, and some sweet stuff.

See, the problem is I have braces, and I can't chew very well. Smoothies are easy, but salads are especially difficult. So the following exchange ensued: Me: One other question...is there any reason for me to have my green smoothie in the morning right after my workout, rather than for lunch? I'm not sure the salad will work out for me right now because I have braces and I can't close my back teeth together, which makes it hard to chew lettuce, and especially the thin and flexible leaves of spinach. So if it doesn't make any difference I'll continue having cream of wheat or oatmeal for breakfast, and then I'll have a green smoothie for lunch. If it does make a difference somehow then I can switch that up, but let me know if it makes a difference one way or the other. Coach: The green smoothie is as good as a salad. For now, I think that is a great idea! You might find yourself hungry a couple of hours after "lunch" and need a snack. That is OK, and let yourself have a small snack before dinner. So there it is. Hot cereal for breakfast, smoothie for lunch. Ok, I’m already switching things up. See, the problem is I have braces, and I can’t chew very well.
