Hi everybody, I just finished my first month on medifast, and I have to say I am sooooo thankfull før this program. I lost 22lbs in 29 days. Thats amazing to me. I do have a question. Can I mix a few cooked veggies and chicken with my chili and put it on lettuce and count it as 2 of my 5 meals? I sure hope so. Dani

I am new myself , but I did find this recipe posted of the forum.

* * * * *
Taco Salad
1 packet Medifast Homestyle chili
1 cup salad greens
1 packet Medifast crackers


Prepare chili per package directions (I use 1/2C water, a dash
of hot sauce and some garlic salt). After the chili has set for
a few minutes, pour it over the salad greens, crumble the MF crackers
over the top, and enjoy!

You can certainly add some cooked veggies and a salad to a packet of chili, but what you're basically doing is making this your "lean & green" meal. (The chili is already high in protein as it is, so you really don't need to add chicken to it.) Just make sure you still have 5 supplements *in addition to* this meal-- not 4! Be careful not to go bonzo with the chili add-ons, though, or you may wind up with a quart of chili that's too much food to count as your lean & green. (The recipe above is meant to be your lean & green-- so feel free to follow it if you like.)

Hope this helps; it may also help to check out the FAQ if you haven't already. Many good tips there!

Cheers,
