This Week's Clean Eating Meal Plan

Most times I'm organized enough on the weekends to pull this off.  I browse for recipes and meal plans, then hit the grocery store.  I do my cooking on Sunday for the entire week.    I do repeat a lot of the meals.  Since I'm a single, I have a lot of waste if there is too much variety.  Leftovers need to get used up. This meal plan is for 5 days worth of meals, since I eat most of my meals at work.  Mix and match here.  3 meals and 2 snacks each day.  Once all the prep is done, I usually pack my meals the night before.

I try to follow this advice: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.  In otherr words, larger meals earlier in the day, and a light, low carb meal for dinner.

Here is what I will be cooking/prepping today:

Black bean soup
Cauliflower and broccoli au gratin - healthy version :)
Rosemary Walnut chicken fingers( recipe to come)
Raw veggies get prepped and placed in individual serving baggies. Just grab and go.

Other notes:  For the turkey salad, I went to the deli counter and ordered a 1/2 inch slice of good quality roasted turkey breast -this will be easy to dice for the salad.

I cook the egg beater breakfast at work using a paper plate and the microwave.  Pour desired amount of egg mixture in the plate, add the cheese, spinach and halved grapr tomatoes and cook for 45 seconds, or more if needed.   Really simple and tastes great!
