Creating Meals & Diet Tips?

hatman5700

HI All,
I read up on a dieting suggestion to have a major COOKING/meal prep day so that all meals would be basically setup ahead of time - I'm giving this a try now.
My plan was to line up 21 Tupperware containers that would each be filled with a meal based on a Meat, Vege, & Carb source (each meal is 400-500 cal)

Here's the list of combos i have:
[M:Chicken] [V:Broccoli] [C:BrownRice]
[M:Chicken] [V:Broccoli] [C:Potato]
[M:Chicken] [V:BSprouts] [C:BrownRice]
[M:Chicken] [V:BSprouts] [C:Potato]
[M:LondonBroil] [V:Broccoli] [C:BrownRice]
[M:LondonBroil] [V:Broccoli] [C:Potato]
[M:LondonBroil] [V:BSprouts] [C:BrownRice]
[M:LondonBroil] [V:BSprouts] [C:Potato]
[M:Pork] [V:Broccoli] [C:BrownRice]
[M:Pork] [V:Broccoli] [C:Potato]
[M:Pork] [V:BSprouts] [C:BrownRice]
[M:Pork] [V:BSprouts] [C:Potato]
[M:Turkey] [V:Broccoli] [C:BrownRice]
[M:Turkey] [V:Broccoli] [C:Potato]
[M:Turkey] [V:BSprouts] [C:BrownRice]
[M:Turkey] [V:BSprouts] [C:Potato]


Any ideas on how to improve / other foods (meat, vege, carb) to throw in?
*Sorta sad at just looking at rice & potatoes over and over :P Need carb & Vege ideas

where's the fat?

where's the variety?

for protein, include some salmon/tuna (tinned is fine), eggs (HB them for easy prep)

i'd personally be mixing up the vegies, eating some raw, and adding fruit. you need a rainbow of vegies for the nutrients, don't just stick to green.

if you reheat your meals, consider leaving the vegies raw so you don't kill them completely by cooking them twice.
