Food Planning Made Easy

Do you struggle with your food because you’re always short on time when it comes to planning? Do you get caught making a bad food choice because you didn’t have anything healthy prepared?

One thing I find helpful in my own food planning, as well as with clients who are busy, is to eat basically the same foods every week day. For example:

Breakfast – oatmeal and egg whites
Snack – almonds and apple
Lunch – Tuna/chicken and salad
Snack – yogurt and berries
Dinner – Fish/chicken, brown rice and green veggie
Snack – protein shake

This makes planning really easy. Once you get into the routine, you barely have to think about your food.

Then on the weekends, switch it up. Have whole wheat pasta with turkey meatballs, or turkey chili, etc. Enjoy the foods that take a little more prep time.

Then on Monday, back to the usual. This makes food planning really easy and quick.
