IV) Dinner

* The way this works is you follow one version throughout the entire day. So version 1 breakfast goes with version 1 lunch, version 1 snacks and version 1 dinner. When I post this month's meals, I will have a number assigned to each dinner, which then determines the versions of meals you follow for the day. Once again, this is how we are eating to make sure we're getting in the requirements for the day. You on the otherhand, can mix it up and change it around, to match your family's needs.
