Hey Guys,
Started my first pre-contest plan today! WOO HOO Anyway, just curious if anyone has a substituion list of foods??? It would help greatly. Thanks Mike

Hawkeye...Can you be a little more specific? Did you get a plan from Beverly? Most times they send you the "authorized" list of proteins, carbs, etc. Since you are pre-contest, you are going to want to stick to what is listed on the diet. You'll need to get used to eating the same things every day. use the approved condiments to liven things up (mustard, hot sauce, vinegar, etc...)

I was trying to read into your question, I apologize if this isn't what you were looking for.
