Are You Prepared???

My Shopping Trip

I've decided that my Breakfast this week will be:

• 3 omega 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup egg whites
• 1 oz mushrooms
• 1/4 an avocado
• this totals: 357 calories, 32 grams of protein, 21 grams of fat, and 10 grams of carbohydrates

I have my mushrooms sorted by 1oz in 5 little baggies for the week, and I can't really prepare the eggs in advance.

For lunch, I bought a package of antibiotic & hormone free chicken in 1.3 lbs to easily divide up in 4oz for each lunch.  I cut up the chicken in small pieces and seasoned with a lot of: garlic, onion, salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, chilli powder, and cayenne pepper.    I put it with my veggies in containers and made some salad dressing.

Lunch will be:

• 2 cups of baby spinach
• 4 oz chicken
• 1/2 an avocado
• salad dressing: 1/2 TBSP EVOO, 1 TBSP red wine vinegar, 1 tsp lime juice, salt, pepper, and cilantro to taste.
• Totals:  332 calories, 27 grams of protein, 23 grams of fat, 9 grams of carbohydrates.

I also bought a package of 93% lean ground beef weighing 1.3 lbs to also easily break up in 4oz portions.  (I didn't weigh b/c if its off it will just make up for it the other day).  I also weighted 1 oz portions of sharp cheddar cheese, and I steamed a bag of broccoli and cauliflower.  I'll steam the rest later in the week so it doesn't get gross and its not that much work.

Snack will be:

• 4 oz 93% lean ground beef
• 1 oz cheddar cheese
• 2 cups of broccoli and cauliflower
• Totals: 344 calories, 32 grams of protein, 17 grams of fat, 8 grams of carbohydrates.

My lunch and snack ready to go for work tomorrow.

Lunches, snacks, and mushrooms for the morning all ready for the work week!

This will now leave me with approximately 367 calories, 31 grams of protein, 25 grams of fat, and 8 grams of carbohydrates left for the day.  (If my numbers don't match exactly to what I said in my plan, it is because I am using myfitnesspal.com and I can't put in 57.5% of calories like I was using for fat calculations.  But, its close enough. 

Preparation is the key to success.  There will be no excuses for not having time to make food, or just grabbing bad food.  :)
