meat, but eat eggs. What should I replace the chicken and
beef with in this diet? Answer: Make your eggs anyway you want them. You may add hard-boiled egg into Pace Salsa and scrambled with onion, mushrooms, peppers. You may also try having veggie ground round.
10-20oz of beef is 568-1136 calories and veggie ground
round is 60calories per 1/3 cup so you can have about
3-6 cups of it (which is LOADS). It will probably work

whatever substitute you pick, keep it the same all that
day.
