My Menu Plan

Okay so here is a run-down of what I am eating in a day:

Breakfast (usually around 6:00am)
1 cup of Kashi Go Lean cereal with skim milk
1 tbsp of all natural no sugar, salt, or oil added peanut butter
6 scrambled egg whites, with only two of the yolks

10:30am Snack
3oz grilled chicken breast (no salt added or oil)
1/2 cup brown basmati rice

12:30pm Lunch
1 grilled chicken breast, no salt or oil
1 cup of raw baby spinach
1/2 cup brown basmati rice

2:30pm Snack
Promasil Protein shake

5:00pm Supper
2 grilled chicken breasts, no salt or oil
2 cups of raw spinach
1/2 cup brown basmati rice OR 3oz brown pasta

Then I go to the gym around seven o clock, and afterwards, I will have another protein shake!


It is a lot of food, and sometimes I am so full that it is difficult to eat it all. Especially breakfast and supper! I cook a bunch of chicken breasts at once and then put them into a tupperware dish in the fridge so that they are ready to go, and I also cook a bunch of rice a head of time so that I can easily measure my servings. Once I started doing that, it made eating just as easy as it was when I was eating out.

I really look forward to the shakes, they are so delicious. I was using a brand called BSN Syntha-6, and it was great, but now I am using a new brand called Promasil and it is even better! And, lower calories, lower fat, and lower carbs than the Syntha-6, and than other proteins that I have seen.

It was pretty boring at first to eat this way, but now it is a lot easier because it's working, and it's so easy to cook when you know exactly what to make all the time and it just becomes a routine!

  1. I agree!

    The MOST IMPORTANT thing to understand about transforming our bodies is PLANNING!!!!

    Fat loss is 80% nutrition! We can work our little butts off at the gym but if we don't eat properly -very little is going to happen.

    The hardest part of my weekly meal plan is preparing everything on Sunday. That means pre-cooking meat, cutting up snack size veggie treats and making my lunch packs. After that, it's the a matter of getting up a little earlier (for me that's 5:00am -every morning) in order to prepare my family's lunch packs for the day.

    It's THAT simple! =)
