If i were to replace:

Morning Snack
BROWN RICE CAKE, PLAIN, NO SALT 2 cakes
___
PEANUT BUTTER, SMOOTH, NO SALT 2 tsp

-with-

Cottage cheese with sliced fruit
Mixed salad

In the meal plan would this plan be fine to follow everyday? Assuming I don't mind eating the same thing everyday.

Also just curious what serving size do u recommend with the Cottage Cheese and what do you mean by Mixed salad? There are many different types of mixed salads, that is why I ask, Thanks
