Meal Prep Monday
As you may already know, if you don’t have a go-to meal, it’s easy to put off making your meals for the week, leaving you scavenging for food during the week. That’s no fun. It cost extra money and makes you fat :(
Here are the basics to designing your personal go-to meal:
1) protein – chicken, lean beef, lean turkey, eggs, etc.
2) carbohydrates – brown rice, whole wheat pasta, lintels, beans, quinoa, etc.
3) fat – avocado, olive oil, peanuts, etc. (if your meat has enough fat, don’t worry about adding extra fat here)
4) vegetables – frozen mixed veggies, green beans, spinach, zucchini, etc.
Example go-to meal:
1) 4.75 lbs 99% lean taco seasoned turkey meat – protein
2) 4 bags boil in bag brown rice and 3 cans low sodium black beans – carbohydrates
3) no avocado needed – fat
4) 2 cans low sodium corn – veggies/carbs
