Does anyone have a meal plan they follow. I'm trying out clean eating and know the concept of eating as close to natural as possible, eating fresh, lean, organic and low ingredient but it would be nice to see someone's practical practice.

if you go to the eatcleandiet.com, there are lots of people on the "kitchen table" link that post their meal plans. IMO, it's something that has to be individual to you. once you get used to eating clean, u will be able to come up with meal plans that work for you. i eat whole grain bread and eggs every morning. have a couple standard snacks -- apple and string cheese, low fat cottage cheese and pita chips throughout the day... lunch is typically a sald with a protein or sandwich... then dinner is lots of veggies and a protein and a big salad. when i work out, i'll throw in a protein drink. i miss cooking with recipes, but i find it really hard to track calories when i start mixing stuff up in recipes! that's a lot of work. well--don't know if this is helpful at all, but good luck!0

I have just started Eating Clean.... only on Day two. However, my mornings consist of 1/2 cup oatmeal (makes 1 cup cooked) with 1T natural PB (with only peanuts and salt in ingredient list) and unsweetened frozen berries (I nuke them to defrost them). I have been using Brown sugar splenda blend, but I need to phase that out.
For lunch I usually eat Tuna. Chunk light tuna in water, 1T mayo, salt and pepper. I put it on two gluten/salt free rice cakes. Today I added a bit of avacado to it.
Snacks include celery with 1T peanut butter, apple slices with 1T peanut butter, hard boiled eggs, handful of pistachios, or my personal fave is Chiobani plain fat free yogurt with the berries I mentioned above with 1T honey. Sometimes I top it with a few pecan halves crumbled up.
I haven't grocery shopped for my dinners yet- but if you are okay with simplicity, you don't have to get to into it. Last night we had Seasoned pork chops with homemade applesauce, a large salad with variety of veggies and a balsalmic dressing.
HTH, obviously I could use some ideas too for cheaper, quick snacks!0 -
Check out Clean Eating Magazine, and on-line. I also like Gracious Pantry for recipe ideas. You are off to a great start. And yes you need to dump the splenda : )0
