What Can You Eat With Nutrisystem?

Nutrisystem is a weight-loss program where you choose the diet plan and menu you want and have the food delivered to your house. Because of the flexibility of your plan, there are a variety of foods you can eat.

Breakfast

• Banana muffins are a healthy breakfast item.

  The breakfast menu is pretty healthy, but the foods seem delicious and not bland or boring. For example, the plan has apple cinnamon oatmeal and apple granola bars. There's also blueberry-flavored pancakes and banana muffins. What's interesting is the lack of fruit-only dishes since fresh fruit is a good breakfast item.

Lunch

• Chicken soup is a healthy option for lunch.

  The lunch menu seems very delicious and has a wide variety of meals. For example, you can eat red beans and rice on the first day of the week, eat chicken noodle soup on the second day and round the week off with minestrone soup. Chocolate snacks such as the chocolate raspberry bar are also good.

Dinner

• Beef with potatoes and gravy is a nice choice for dinner.

  When you look at the dinner menu, it's hard to tell the difference between what's on there and regular processed foods, but since the meals are portioned out before delivery to your home, it shouldn't be too bad. Some interesting meals include BBQ beef over beans and rice, chicken and dumplings, beef with potatoes and gravy, and grilled chicken breast.

Vegetarian

• Vegetarian options include mushroom risotto.

  Nutrisystem even has some meals for vegetarians. Some of the meals included are cheese ravioli, mushroom risotto, pasta primavera with tofu and vegetable lasagna. However, the vegetarian menu is not as large as the other menus, so vegetarians may want to supplement Nutrisystem meals with their own.

Considerations

• Before signing up with Nutrisystem, you may want to try preparing your own weekly meals that are just as healthy as this program. Although you'll get the first three weeks of food for free, you'll have to pay a monthly fee from that point on.
