Lettuce leaves will stay fresher longer if you tear them into pieces rather than cut them.

I dont usually add any meats to the greens. I just eat them dry and raw. At the most, I'll add lemon pepper, cayanne pepper or parmesean cheese sprinkles.
Are you worried about the sugar from dried fruits?

Ive posted many times what I eat on average, but Im happy to post again for those following this thread. This is about what I eat on average per day. Of course this changes if I am either bulking (will eat more) or cutting (will eat less), but on average, its the following:

Cup of black coffee prior to heading out for my morning cardio at 5:30AM.
One banana after cardio
Breakfast - "Popeye omlete" - three eggs with lots of baby spinich, cayanne pepper. Half grapefruit. OR, bowl of steel cut oats w/blueberries.
Snack - half grapefruit OR cottage cheese with almond slivers and blueberries or raspberries.
Lunch - 5oz can of chunk light tuna mixed with teaspoon mayo, 10 oz kidney beans, 10oz corn, tablespoon of Udos Choice oil, 2 slices of whole wheat bread.
Snack - plain stove or air popped popcorn w/parmesean cheese OR Almond butter on whole wheat sammich OR raw broccoli
Dinner - whole wheat pasta OR brown rice with grilled chicken breast, broccoli or spinich and one oatmeal cookie for dessert.
Snack - One lemon or one orange or one plum from my backyard trees or cottage cheese w/blueberry or strawberry.

This is DEFINITELY cheaper and MOST DEFINITELY HEALTHIER than eating taco bell, Mcds, burger king for lunch and dinner and eating packet of sugary oatmeal for breakfast.

Because I workout on average of twice per day, I DO occasionally eat In N Out Burger or Chipotle. Still, very healthy, very fit, very lean, very athletic at 6' 1" and 178 pounds.
I bet you could $#@! a prius!

Lao, I just realized:

That's around 28 ounces of food - 32 ounces is 2 pounds (including the oil, mayo, and bread). So you're eating almost 2 pounds of food for lunch, with most of it being undigestible corn and gaseous beans. Don't you feel like crap a half hour after stuffing down this kind of meal mid-day?
