The below nutrition plan is what I eat Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday during the day I still eat clean but will eat whatever is left over or what I have around my apartment. Saturday and Sunday's for dinner are when I have my "treat" meals. I switch up my eating every week. I plan the week before what I want to have for meals, make the grocery list, and prep the food on Sunday's. A lot of times people will ask me if I get bored eating the same thing everyday. The answer is no. It is only 5 days a week that I eat the same thing. I eat to live - not live to eat. It took me a long time to come to that. I also do this to save money. I live alone so I can't really cook tons of different things during the week because it's too expensive and will go bad. There are also ways you can switch up your eating day to day. Like my Quest Bars for instance; I eat a different flavor everyday, same with my yogurt.
Total down (since 11/25/13): 28.2 pounds!
Meal 1 (7:15 AM)
3 egg whites, a hint of turkey bacon pieces, 1 tablespoon of fat free cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons of low fat feta, and a handful of fresh spinach. I cook everything together via stove top.
Meal 2 (10:30 AM)
Quest Protein Bar (the flavor varies day to day) and a large apple
Meal 3 (1:15 PM)
Spaghetti squash topped with 3oz of ground chicken, organic tomato sauce, and two tablespoons of low fat Feta.
Meal 4 (4 PM) - [Pre-workout]
1 cup of Dannon Light and Fit 80 calorie Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries and 15 natural almonds
Gym: 5-6:15(30)
Meal 5 (7 PM)
Half of a Quest Bar (the flavor varies day to day) with 1 tablespoon of chocolate PB2. This is actually a very small snack, it's enlarged for picture quality. However, don't judge the snack by the size - this is 11g of protein!
Meal 6 (8:30 PM)
Clean "Parmesan" chicken with 1/2 cup of black beans. The chicken is marinated in plain Greek yogurt, then when I am ready to bake it, I take a little bit of whole wheat/whole bran cereal (it is important to get plain whole wheat bran. If you get a vanilla bran or something flavored, the recipe will be disgusting), crunch it up, coat the chicken with it, top it with pepper and low fat Parmesan cheese, then bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Bed time: 11 PM
