Do you pre-plan your meals? What's your plan for today?

I have found the pre-planning helps a lot! Here's my day:

B: peanut butter crunchy granola bar
S: homemade snack mix
L: Subway turkey breast sub
S: 100 calorie snack pack
Pasta and turkey meatballs

I uasually plan mine for the week. it helps keep my grocery bills down. I plan lighter dinners on Yoga and sterngth training days and large ones on big cardio days.

Todays Plan:

B: Egg, veggie and cheese burrito
S: V8...but only if I need it
L: Salsa Stoup (Lift over from last night ( It's a Rachel Ray recipie only anbout 150 cals a bowl) and Pink Lady apple
S: Dry roasted almonds 100cal pack
Shrimp Etoufee...b/c lunch is low cal

Oh yeah. I can't eat without entering it first, which is fine because I usually plan my whole day in the morning. my schedule is usually predictable, so it isn't hard.

B- 2 eggs with cheese wrapped in tortillas.
L- Subway footlong turkey on wheat.
Pre-workout- Same as B.
Post-workout- Same as L.
Dinner- Chicken breast sandwiches.
Bedtime- Protein bar.

It's normal for me to eat the same thing multiple times a day, especially eggs.

B: Crispix with 1% mix with soy protein powder and a banana; hot chai tea
L: String cheese wrapped with 2 slices of 97% fat free turkey breast; apple; Rice Works - Gourmet Brown Rice Crisps
Lean Cuisine frozen dinner
S: Ant on a log or Smoothie with protein powder and fish oil; hot herbal tea

i know i know not much fruit/veggies today but going grocery shopping either fri pm or sat to restock on all my goodies!!

I don't but I really need to start!!! :-(

I plan most of my day. It really helps me choose wisely.

This morning - banana smoothie w/ peanut butter, protein powder, milk
AM Snack - plain yogurt with mixed berries and stevia
pre-work out calories - crackers with peanut butter
Lunch - unknown!
PM snack - unknown!
dinner - stuffed pasta shells with marinara, leafy green salad and roasted snap peas

I preplan all our meals since I have to stick to a small budget ($70) for weekly grocery shopping for our family of 4. I have found that it reallys helps me however to stay on track. Every morning after I work out I complete my diary and I can see what I am eating and where it will all end me for the day. I also can see if I have wiggle room for a little something extra even.

see diary for what I am eating today.

Because I go straight from work to school twice a week and I tend to stay up half the night reading and doing homework I usually forget to pack lunch or make bad choices when I drag myself out of bed on Wednesday and Friday, so I preplan the week on Sunday with full days on Tuesday/Thursday and lunches for Monday/Wednesday/Friday. It really helps take the guesswork out of it all and lowers my chances at slipping up. Today's Menu:

B: 2 Eggo Whole Wheat Nutri-Grain Waffles with a slice of low fat cheese (165)
L: Homemade White Turkey Meatloaf with a side of fiesta corn (meatloaf=160, corn =50)
L: One slice 35 calorie bread (total lunch: 245)
S: Wheat Thins High FIber Garden Vegetable Crackers (120)
Open (670 calories left for the day) but my tentative plan is chicken noodle soup and crackers (245 calories)
S: Open

I usually plan my day the night before since I take breakfast and lunch with me to work. I try to plan for dinner but I usually have problems with that because I don't know what I will be in the mood for. Usually, my dinner is tailored to the amount of calories that I have left but if I have a taste for something and know that I will go over my calories, I will just exercise a little longer than usual.
