Tomorrow's Food

 

So, tomorrow morning I somehow have to fit in my workout and be in a suit and leave the house by 7:30am to get to an 8:30am meeting.  In addition to picking out my clothes and getting my gym bag ready, I got my breakfast ready and my lunch and snacks are packed in a bag in my fridge.

So, here's food for tomorrow:

5am - tea w/  2 tbsp org half and half - 40 calories, 4g fat, 1g sugar

Postworkout Breakfast - 12 tbsp (measured by the grams on the label for the serving size) 

1/4 cup oatmeal (again measured by the grams on the serving size)

15g org raisins

1 tsp brown sugar

dash of cinnamon

311 calories, 26g protein, 3g fat, 51g carbs

Lunch

6oz weighed cooked chicken breast cooked in coconut oil so I'm adding 1/2tbsp coconut oil to the list

2 cups spring mix greens

100g avocado

dressing: 2 tsp lime juice, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, cilantro, salt and pepper

(will see how this is but coconut flavor seemed like it would go good with lime flavor)

470 calories, 55g protein, 26g fat, 11g carbs

My Snack and Dinner will be on the go b/c of my second job tomorrow, so I'm trying out Jorge Cruise's Energy Boosting Skinny Muffins from the Dr. Oz show (click the link for the recipe

This muffin is: 282 calories, 12g protein, 19g fat, 19g carbs (more than half is fiber).  I mixed all the dry ingredients and the coconut oil and I'm bringing the egg so I can make this fresh before I leave job 1.

For Dinner I'm trying the above muffin with chia seeds instead of flax seeds.  This muffin is:

242 calories, 10g protein, 17g fat, 17g carbs (again mostly fiber)

If I'm hungry when I get home, I'm going to have 1/2 a scoop of isopure protein and 2 tbsp almond butter before going to bed to hit my protein and fat numbers.

254 calories, 18g protein, 18g fat, 6g carbs.

This leaves me with 356 calories, 35 grams of protein, 19 grams of fat, and 9 carbs for my dinner. 

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.  :)
