AhmadCat-
What kind of BBQ seasoning can you use for Phase 1? Do you mean a sauce that you pour on or a spice packet? Please share a brand : )

You can add some fruits and some certain grains to your diet in Phase 2 which are HARAM for Phase 1 lol. Even though you are "allowed" to have them now, I still dont eat them. Makes me feel dirty :P I dont really have any recipes, but I highly suggest Turkey Burgers with your favorite BBQ seasoning on a George Foreman grill. Quick, easy, and yummy!

I can only think with the avocado and oil your fat content is higher but have no idea--but sounds yummy! You can still eat it in any phase :)
