1 Chicken Breast
1/3 Tomato Sauce

Evening

Coconut oil is a saturated fat. You probably have enough dietary fat without having to add it. Also you could go with a bit more fiber in your diet.

Sorry I forgot to mention, I'm taking fiber. Psyllium whole husks. One Tbs in the morning and on at night.
