Show me your fail-proof day of meals

ouandi

There are some days we have school, soccer, baseball, karate, and I don't have time or energy to think about my meals. I have a pretty good fail-proof lunch I can always go to (spinach salad, pecans, reduced fat blue cheese crumbles, balsamic vinaigrette....yum!), but not for breakfast or dinner. I always eat too many calories on these days and sabotage my day of weight loss.

What does your fail-proof, fallback day of meals look like when you're busy or just too tired to think about how many calories you have left?

Thanks so much!

My breakfasts are simple - 1 container of Chobani Greek yogurt (any flavor, there are lots) and 1/2 ish cup of some type of cereal mixed in. Last week I alternated Life cereal and Kashi Crunch cereal. It keeps me full for most of the morning and tastes good!

Breakfast:

Pre make some low cal muffins
Yogurt and banana
Lite english muffin with egg and cheese
Protein shake/smoothie (I have a magic bullet that makes single servings and you can take the cup with you)
Fiber one granola bars with a piece of fruit
Whole wheat toast with peanut butter

Dinner:

You can do a wrap with meat, cheese, cream cheese and salsa, or shredded beef, etc. with some veggies. I package veggies individually so I can just grab them.
Pre cook some grilled chicken and taco meat so you can just throw on a bed of lettuce, add some cheese, dressing, etc. for a quick dinner
Crock pot! There are a ton of recipes out there that you can throw in a crockpot and it is ready when you get home. In the meantime, keep snacks with you to munch on.

Hope a few of these help. Have a great day!
