Here is part 2 of the 7 day meal planner. Hope you get some ideas from this planner. The last few days I’ve also been going through some old cookbooks to get some new ideas too.
Meal planning helps me stay on track. I buy groceries for two weeks at a time and then in between buy fresh fruit and vegetables. We rarely eat out anymore although once in a while is a treat. We used to eat out every Friday and now have cut back on that. It’s been a few weeks since we did. That said though I am a firm believer you can eat and stay on track at any restaurant. It’s hard these days for me to be able to enjoy a meal out though. If I do go out, I stick to a cup of soup or a small salad. I also share meals with my guys so that I am not overwhelmed by a big plate in front of me.
Hope to hear from some of you if you have ideas about high protein meals you’ve really enjoyed and recommend. Take care.
