Some people are very ad hoc about meals, others plan well in advance. If you're more of the latter, I'd like to hear what's on your meal plan for the coming week. Please share ideas, links, etc. and let's find some yummy recipes to try!

I plan out my days the night before and if I know I am going out to dinner with friends/family I look at the restaurant menu days in advance pick best choice and put it in myfitnesspal days in advance so I can plan the rest of that day with ease Planning def. makes the difference I can not do it ad hoc I usually go over calories and fat if do that so I am def. a planner

I've been using Plantoeat.com for a while now and find it really helpful to sort out when I will make food and when I will eat the leftovers (as there are almost always leftovers). Plus it allows me to prep my grocery list from what I've planned. Anyway, here's what's on the menu this week for dinner. Breakfast and lunch are usually a grab as you go but sometimes involve leftovers from dinners.

Monday - Grilled Shrimp Skewers with Charred Asparagus and Snap Peas + Brown Rice (http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/grilled-shrimp-skewers-charred-asparagus-snap-peas)
Tuesday - Garlic Seasoned Baked Pork Chops + Potato Packets (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/232723/garlic-seasoned-baked-pork-chops/)
Wednesday - likely dinner out with clients
Thursday - Cauliflower Mac & Cheese + maybe some extra veggies (http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/cauliflower-mac-n-cheese/)
Friday - Packaged stuffed chicken breasts + broccoli + brown rice

This week I roasted a chicken (good for several meals), made black bean soup and sauteed swiss chard and baked acorn squash. Breakfast is usually oatmeal, lunch is 1/2 sandwich (either pbj or chicken) and piece of fruit or soup. Tomorrow I'm making red lentil soup. I'm single, so this is enough for several days. Snacks are either apple with peanut butter or I may make some hummus.

I am always on the run and I'm very basic with my foods. Breakfast is always eggs or plain yogurt/mixed nuts always with 5 oz of fruit. Lunch will often be homemade meatballs (ground chicken or venison) along with organic baby carrots and 5 oz of fruit or Ill grab lean deli meat for the protein portion. Dinner can vary depending whether ive been home the last couple nights. I make a lot of chili or Hamburger soup and freeze it, so that's easy to grab and thaw, or 'Pure organic Vega Greens protein bar' with veggies and fruit on the side.

Afura

My lunches are fairly static, I change the sauces (usually Sweet Sriracha Honey BBQ), and flavoring of veggies (as well as the veggies) usually.
4oz chicken thigh (boneless/skinless) with either a roasted poblano pepper, or green chili thai curry sauce
1/2 serving corn with garlic powder
1/2 serving peas with white pepper
1 serving cauliflower with 21 seasoning salute

This is my excel spreadsheet for the week. Goal is net 1510 calories and I usually add ~200 calories through exercise most days, hence why some days are over 1510 and some are right at it.

Breakfast and lunch is the same smoothie, breakfast bowl, fruit, cottage cheese, salads, soups ect.
Dinners change and this week will be:
Filet mignon, peppercorn sauce, salad, and homemade french fries.

Oatmeal and strawberries for breakfast alternate between that and vegtable omelette through the week weekends I make pancakes healthy version ofcourse with whole wheat flour and I add banana

Lunch is a salad or vegtable pita sandwich I switch it up

Snacks are either fruits or yogurt in the morning nuts or veg in the afternoon

Dinner is a lean meat with veg
Tomorrow for dinner I am marinating boneless chicken in a special sauce I made and I'll have asparagus on the side
That's usually the gist of it

As long as the meals are between 400-450 cals and snacks 100-150 I'm fine my chest days are Saturday's but I'm so use to eating healthy cheat day is usually a vegtable pizza from my favorite restaurant

Every Sunday I make egg muffins and have 2 links of Fully Cooked Sausage with it. I make enough for 5 days. Breakfasts are done.

Snacks can be anywhere from apples, other fruit thats on sale, popcorn, high fiber granola bars, string cheese, etc.

This week I made Carnitas in the crock pot and made rice bowls and salads with it.

Dinner is usually a protien (chicken, fish, pork chop) and a roasted veggie.

During the week breakfast is usually oatmeal or scrambled egg with toast. Most mornings we drink a green smoothie with breakfast. Weekend breakfasts we usually make whole wheat blueberry pancakes or veggie omelets. Sometimes we throw in some bacon or sausage but it's not typical.

Lunch is almost always leftovers but I keep avocado and hardboiled egg on hand in a pinch. I also like to keep some home-made convenience foods in the freezer, like bean burritos or lentil meatloaf cups (that's what I have in there currently).

Dinner is planned out:
Lentil and Spinach Coconut Curry with rice
Chili with fritos and cheese
Shrimp Gumbo with brown rice
Carrot, Cabbage, and Chicken Stirfry with brown rice
Veggie kabobs with meatballs and brown rice
Fish Tacos with cabbage slaw
Black beans and millet bake with sweet potato
German potato salad, sweet/sour red cabbage, and pork chop
Frozen Pizza
Veggie burgers with sweet potato fries
Spaghetti with turkey meatsauce and vegetables

We don't normally have so many meals planned out at once but I was organizing my freezer/pantry and decided to use up some stuff we had on hand.

KareninLux

Spanikopita for breakfast - Monday to Friday.
Eggs, greek yogurt and cappuccinno for lunch - Monday to Friday.

I'm only cooking for one, so I usually eat the same thing for about 3 days with minor switch ups with the type of fruit or protein I'm eating. I even cook my oatmeal and quinoa in advance (each Sunday) and then just heat up a single servings to cut down on prep time.

Bfast: 1/2 Cup Oatmeal + Honey + Apple + Black Coffee

Snack: Boiled Egg (Jumbo) + Green Tea

Lunch: 1/2 Cup Quinoa + 1 Cup Steamed Kale + 4 oz. Chicken
(I steam the kale for 1 minute with some water in the microwave. I make my proteins - chicken, boiled eggs - in advance too and then reheat).

Snack: Protein Shake w/ 2 tbspn Coconut Milk, Handful of Ice, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond Milk, 1/2 frozen banana, and 1/2 serving of Isolyze Vanilla Peanut Butter Powder

Snack #2 (I'm usually hungrier in the afternoon and like to fuel up before my 5pm workouts): Grapefruit, Boiled Egg (Jumbo), Broccoli

Dinner: Teriyaki Turkey Meatballs with Kale, Onion, and Ginger + Spinach + Quinoa (optional depending how hungry I still am after my workout...usually I don't crave carbs in the evening)

Dessert: If I'm not settling for a hot cup of tea I let myself have a 100 Calorie Serving of Jiffy Pop or a 45 Calorie Fudgsicle with a handful of almonds.

I always use the same basic meal make-up, just switch out fruits, proteins, and veggies when I'm bored.

Meal Plan? Eat when I'm hungry ... about 2 hours after waking up for the first meal and about 3 hours before going to bed for the last meal. Include 2 servings of fruit a day, not by itself but as part of a meal's ingredients. Eat 1/4 cup nut or 2 tablespoons nut butter every day, as part of a meal or snack with veggies. Eat at least 2 1/2 cups of vegetables a day, etiher in a soup, a salad, or as a side raw or steamed without sauces or creams. Use lemon juice and olive oil for the salad topping, if having salad. Eat some form of protein every day (meat/seafood/legume) up to about 6 ounces for the day, preferrably dry pan sauted, broiled, boiled, or stir-fried. Have one-three servings of whole grain a day, (like oatmeal, whole grain bread, buckwheat groats, corn, etc). Eat or drink 2 servings of dairy product a day. Drink enough water to make my urine pale in color. Have 2 cups of coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, a serving of wine in the evening. Allow 1 restaurant prepared meal, allow 1 dessert that is baked or frozen this week. Be generous with spices and thrity with salt, avoid added sugar except in desserts.

Today ... breakfast: oats, apple, peanut butter, cinnamon, coffee. Lunch: Tuna salad with celery and onions on a bed of lettuce and carrots with olive oil and cider vinegar, small orange. Dinner, 1/2 Chicken breast without the tender stir fried with shredded cabbage, onions, carrots.celery, ginger, garlic. Snack: air popped pop corn.

I save most of my calories for night time...I eat dinner go for a 2 mile walk then come home to a snack either a sugar free fudge pop 40 cals or an apple with hummus.....

I have a marathon next weekend, so this week's meals are definitely more carb heavy than normal:

Monday: Spinach and mushroom risotto with sauteed shrimp
Tuesday: Chicken enchiladas
Wednesday: Cheesesteak baked potatoes
Thursday: Homemade ricotta gnocci with vodka sauce
Friday: Chicken stuffed sweet potatoes and Mexican corn salad

I always have left overs for lunch. Today was a Cobb salad. Breakfast is usually a protein bar and a piece of fruit or a protein shake, but this week I will probably do some overnight oats with dried fruit.

No, it's just something I came up with to better help me plan out my meals. Breaking it down lets me build calorie-appropriate meals while looking at grocery store sales flyers, and it helps construct the final grocery list.

This 30-minute turkey chili is on for tonight! We make this at least once a month and have for the last several years. We always have everything the recipe calls for on hand. This is a very hearty chili but so simple. We always top it with a little shredded cheese and a dollop of plain greek yogurt (tastes like sour cream). http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/30-minute-turkey-chili-recipe.html
