Wanna share your meal plans???

bethie0022 · May 2012

I really need structure to get things going (I want to lose 25 lbs) and having some help with a structured meal plan would really be helpful. Can you guys help me out?

What do you need? A sample day? A week of dinners? Snack ideas? It's way too much to just put everything.

A sample day would be great with a two options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Thank you!!!

firsttimersluck · May 2012

Here is a rough layout of my recent meal plans (I gave 3 or 4 options for each)

Breakfast:

1. Greek nonfat yogurt with cinnamon

2. Oatmeal with cinnamon (and sometimes unsweetened applesauce)

3. Grapenuts

4. Hard boiled egg (usually if I'm running late. I peel them RIGHT when I finish cooking them, that way I can just grab and eat them as I'm running to my car haha)

Snack:

1. http://travisjessjones.blogspot.com/2012/03/banana-oatmeal-muffins.html (Instead of sugar I added half a cup of honey)

2. Veggies/fruits

3. Nuts

4. Homemade protein bar

Lunch:

1. Marinated veggies wrapped in kale (like a wrap but without the added grains)

2. BIG high protein salad

3. Egg or tuna salad (WITHOUT mayo.. ick..that stuff is just.. badness in a jar)

Snack:

1. http://thehealthyfoodie.com/2011/07/25/high-protein-heatlhy-oatmeal-cookies/

2. apple/banana/some fruit or veggie

3. Almonds/pistachios

Dinner:

1. Lentil Soup

2. Quinoa Chili

3. http://scandifoodie.blogspot.com/2011/11/kale-rolls-with-quinoa-and-chickpea.html

4. http://www.alexandracooks.com/2011/09/29/eggplant-involtini/

_____________________

I make everything from scratch. I don't trust anything packaged anymore... It's a looong slow process that has taken months to get to this point, but now I can't imagine buying anything in a bag or box.

Most of my dinners are CrockPot stuff because I don't get home until after 7-8pm most days. That thing is my heaven.. lol. It makes life sooo easy for long weeks.

I also cut up and baggie EVERYTHING on Sundays (or whatever day I have free)

Carrots, broccoli, separate nuts into serving sizes, my oatmeal protein cookies, etc.. That way even if I'm running late, it takes no effort to grab and go.
