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): 40.2 pounds!
Meal 1 (7:15 AM)
Lean, Clean, Protein Breakfast casserole + flax seeds.
Meal 2 (10:30 AM)
Quest Protein Bar (the flavor varies day to day) and a large apple
Meal 3 (1:15 PM): 4 MorningStar Vegetarian chik'n nuggets with a side of asparagus.
I cook my asparagus via stove top in a skillet with fat free Italian dressing and garlic wine seasoning.
Meal 4 (4 PM) - [Pre-workout]
1 Light and Fit 80 calorie Greek Yogurt with a tablespoon of chia seeds and plain sliced 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)
Lean, Healthy Homemade Pizza (working on the recipe for you guys)
Coconut flour crust topped with homemade tomato sauce, low fat feta and mozzarella, spinach, sauteed mushrooms, and grilled chicken. I make my chicken via stove top in a skillet. I poke holes in the chicken breast, marinate it for 24 hours in fat free Italian dressing then coat it with Carolina Blackening seasoning to cook. I cut the mushrooms in half then saute them via stove top with light balsamic vingerette and coconut oil.
