I have found that when I designate certain days for certain meals, it doesn't always happen on the day I plan it, and that doesn't matter, so from now on, my weekly meal plans will be more in a summary fashion.
Breakfast options:
- vegetable omelet
- yogurt + kashi
- kashi waffles + fresh fruit
Lunch options:
- leftovers (preferred, as dinner is usually my most well balanced meal)
- turkey ham on joseph's tortilla with fresh fruit or veggies
- tuna on joseph's tortilla with fresh fruit or veggies
- hummus and cucumber on joseph's pita
Dinner options:
- Mesquite chicken salad with whole grain croutons
- Hoison pork chop with vegetable "fried" rice
- Whole grain english muffin pizzas with fresh carrots and celery
- Grilled marinated chicken breasts with low fat potato salad and yellow and green beans
- Teriyaki beef tips with potato salad and garlic snow peas
(It's not realistic to plan to make seven separate dinners for each night of the week because when you are only eating 3 oz. of lean protein per serving, there is bound to be leftovers, even beyond lunch time. If anything, we would go out for sushi for a different meal option this week.)
Snacks:
- Watermelon
- Nectarines
- Cucumbers
- Celery
- Carrots
- Kiwi
- Strawberries
- Fruit salad
- Yogurt
- 99% fat free single serving popcorn (100 calories/4 grams of fiber)
I have heard some bandsters say they do not snack, and that they only eat their 3 meals per day, and that's it. If that works for you, great. I eat when I'm hungry. That is often between meals. I had breakfast 2 hrs ago, and I'm not ready for lunch, but I could go for a nectarine right now, so that's what I'll have. We all have to do what works best for us, individually.
