RE: My over 40 Weight Loss & Get into Shape Blog - Part 1
The photos of food you've included in this post look pretty delicious to me! (Or at least as delicious as broccoli can ever look.)
As I'm sure others will attest, weekly meal prep is key if you can find the time and don't mind the repetitive meals.
On Sunday nights, I've been making salads to take to work for the week. I bake chicken and put dressing in small plastic containers so the spinach/lettuce doesn't get soggy through in the fridge.
The chicken and spinach stay the same, but I rotate the other ingredients to make a different salad each week. So far I've done a basic Caesar salad, Southwest BBQ, Mediterranean, and cranberry walnut. Typically runs for $3-4 USD each, although you can probably do it for less.
Keep us posted!
Thanks. I agree, meal prep is the way to go if you don't work from home - not only for convenience, but so you can size your portions properly too. , fortunately, work from home 4 days a week so I am able to cook everything fresh daily. But I still do some prep work ahead of time, like cooking my brown rice or potatoes for the week.
I don't do salads - they don't fill me up enough. Luckily this summer my garden is producing loads of cherry tomatoes, zucchini and squash so I sautee them up in a little olive oil and salt-free seasoning for my veggies for most of my meals that require veggies.
I'll definitey keep you posted, I've come up with some ingenous ways to mix up my diet with PB&J and desserts too which cutting!
