Dinner

Ingredients:

Spread each romaine lettuce leaf with 1 teaspoon of mustard. Divide the tofu-tomato mixture between each of the leaves, and top with the sprouts.
Divide the thinly sliced radishes between the four leaves, and top with avocado and salsa.

Throughout the day, remember to listen to your body! It’s so important to eat the amount of food that your body needs, and listen to what it’s craving, instead of trying to force yourself to eat a specific amount at a set time.
