Why do you think there is a difference between what "regular folks"
might eat vs a nutritionist's suggestion?

Here are some breakfast ideas that "regular folks" eat:
Toasted English muffin (whole grain) with peanut butter
An orange
A glass of milk

McDonald's fruit and yogurt parfait
Coffee or tea

Cheerios with milk
Buttered raisin toast
Banana

A bagel with cream cheese
Fresh Fruit - maybe kiwi or strawberries?
Milk

Which are what "regular folks" might eat and which are "a nutritionist's
suggestion"?

All four breakfasts are from a booklet from a dietitian -- I left out
the portion sizes to make them look more "regular" than they do.

How about dinner?
Chicken breast
mashed potatoes
steamed asparagus spears
green salad with tomato and dressing
fruit
milk

That's a nutritionist-suggested meal, too. The chicken is a 3-oz
portion, the potatoes are a half cup measure and the asparagus is 10
spears. Four fresh apricots for fruit, and skim milk. Dressing is fat
free. Eminently edible.

Pork chop
Barley
coleslaw
Green beans
Milk
Apple Crisp

Also a nutritionist-recommended meal. Also quite edible, not to mention
a lot of foods to put away.

I'd enjoy any of those meals, and I'm about as "regular" (shut up,
Sheldon!) as they come.
