Every Sunday is meal prep day where I cook my lunches and dinners for the next week so I won't be tempted to cheat.
Breakfast: pretty boring every morning I have 2 Simple Truth (Kroger's natural/organic brand) frozen gluten free blueberry waffles and a glass of organic whole milk.
And then for my lunch and dinner I eat the same thing, on Sunday I cook 2-3 packages of Simple Truth chicken tenders with Bragg's seasoning and I'll eat 2-3 pieces with each meal, I'll cook brown rice, quinoa, quinoa/brown rice mixture, sweet potato fries, mashed sweet potatoes, mashed cauliflower, wild rice... Healthy carbs - I stay away from anything white - white potatoes, white flour, white sugar. And I stay away from gluten and wheat as much as possible. And every week I cook 2 bags of frozen veggies that will last me the week (Monday - Friday or Saturday), I do like to roast fresh veggies when I get the chance (just a little extra virgin olive oil drizzled over top, salt, and garlic powder).
Sometimes to change it up I'll use ground turkey and add taco spices (I try not to use store bought taco seasoning because it's filled with crap), minced garlic and cook it, drain the grease off of it and then just eat it with guacamole (which I could live off of lol), some plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream, and a little bit of cheddar cheese (this is a treat because I normally only let myself have my glass of milk in the morning and besides that I stay away from dairy), I'll either eat that warmed up in a bowl or in the summer I'll eat it on top of a salad - idk in the winter I'm not a big salad fan, it's just too cold.
Another meal I make is I'll use sweet ground turkey sausage sautéed with a package of frozen onions with peppers mix (you can find it at Kroger), I drain the grease and add wild rice, brown rice, or quinoa to it (whatever I have on hand that's cooked), and then add a little organic spaghetti sauce and stir it up.
Snacks I'll eat fruit, veggies, nuts (15-20 nuts), Kind bars, Simple Truth protein bars, or Luna protein bars (the peanut butter chocolate one taste like a Snickers).
I normally eat breakfast at around 6am, morning snack between 8:30 and 9:30 depending on when I'm hungry, lunch at around 11:00 or 11:30, afternoon snack between 1:00 and 3:00 depending on when I have time and when I'm hungry, and dinner around 5:30 or 6:00 If I'm working out after work I'll often have an extra snack and then have dinner later then normal.
This is my meal prep from this past Sunday.
One of my favorite snacks is fresh fruit with chia seeds. Btw chia seeds are one of the most amazing things ever!! They give me tons of energy, make me stay full longer because they expand in your stomach and take up more room. And they're pretty cool added to your drink but do get a weird slimey texture that a lot of people don't like.
And what I drink.... Water! I drink at the least 100oz a day but try for more, and yes you'll have to pee a lot lol I do drink sweet tea a lot - I'm from the south and we love our sweet tea! I've tried making it with stevia and it's pretty good but that is one of the times I'm more willing to use white sugar lol I also drink lots of hot tea.
And again, this will NOT work for everyone, I just wanted to post it because I get asked all the time what I eat. And no I don't count calories, I'm weird I can weigh myself everyday and I don't mind if my weight goes up a little, but if I go over on my calories even by a couple I'm extremely hard on myself. But when I do put them in I'm at around 1200-1400 calories a day.
