    I have been doing meal prep on Sundays for the week. I always hard boil about 4 eggs to have on hand to grab on my way out the door in the morning. I roast a pan of veggies (broccoli, peppers, green beans, brussel sprouts) and also a few sweet potatoes. I make some type of protein (a marinated chicken or turkey meatballs, or pork). Last I do some kind of soup. Once all of that is prepped I make a bunch of meals for my lunches and dinners. I always have a few left from the week before so I usually have 3 or 4 different meals I am eating in a week. It has kept me from resorting to last minute high calorie meals and still has variety!

    Here is a meal plan I made for my picky mother a while back:

    Day 1:

    Breakfast: English Muffin w/ egg white, cheese, and patty sausage (Pref turkey)
    Lunch: Grilled chicken tenders, green beans, & ½ sweet potato w/ light butter & cinnamon
    Dinner: Bun-less turkey burger w/ side salad w/ light dressing
    Snacks: Fruit in gel cup, baked tortilla chips & salsa, greek yogurt ranch dip & carrots

    Day 2:

    Breakfast: 2 Cups of grapes & 1 egg + 2 egg whites
    Lunch: Whole wheat tuna wrap (You may use LIGHT mayo sparingly to make tuna, but I prefer you use greek yogurt). Add tomatoes, lettuce, and light cheese to make a tasty/healthy (bigger) wrap. Roasted carrots.
    Dinner: 2 Chicken apple sausages, sautéed (or grilled) onions and peppers, turnip greens
    Snacks: LifeChoice Extreme Peanut Butter Bar, 1 stick light string cheese & 10 almonds, Skinny Cow Ice Cream treat

    Day 3:

    Breakfast: ¼ C Oatmeal (Or 1 flavored packet) & 2 pcs link sausage (Again pref turkey)
    Lunch: HALF BLT on wheat w/ Light Mayo + 1 Can of Light Soup
    Dinner: Steak Salad (See recipe attached)
    Snacks: Yogurt/Fruit/Granola Parfait, Sugar Free Jello or pudding w/ Lite Cool Whip, broccoli or cauliflower with 2 tbsp hummus

    Day 4:

    Breakfast: 1 Serving Cheerios Protein cereal + Skim or Vanilla Almond milk
    Lunch: 1 serving of left-over steak salad from last night’s dinner
    Dinner: 1 grilled chicken breast + stewed squash
    Snacks: strawberries w/ Splenda, Skinny Cow chocolate candies, 1 light string cheese & turkey pepperoni

    Day 5:

    Breakfast: 1 piece whole wheat toast, 1 boiled egg, 2 slices of bacon, and tomato slices if desired
    Lunch: Two turkey cheddar sausages + 1 whole pkg of Green Giant Steamers Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Carrots in cheese sauce (or teriyaki – it’s GOOD)
    Dinner: Scrambled turkey or chicken with onions & peppers in a lettuce wrap + black beans
    Snacks: 1 grapefruit, LifeChoice Protein Bar, Fruit Cup in gel

    Day 6:

    Breakfast: 1 Eggo whole wheat waffle, 2 pieces of turkey sausage (patty or link) + strawberries and splenda. You may use sugar free syrup if desired.
    Lunch: Chicken Burrito Bowl (See Recipe Attached)
    Dinner: Grilled or Oven-baked salmon (Just try it..it’s tasty. Stop frying things. Stop it. Fish is delicious and doesn’t need to be fried. Ahem.) Baked sweet potato fries. Cabbage.
    Snacks: Baked tortilla chips + Salsa, wheat thins + hummus, Skinny Cow ice cream treat

    Day 7:

    Breakfast: 1 bagel w/ cream cheese + 2 pcs turkey sausage
    Lunch: Baked imitation crab meat (W/ lite butter and parmesan cheese) + ½ C. brown rice + steamed broccoli
