Meal Plan 9.1.2024

Please note that this is personalized to my macro intake and energy output. I'm gonna continue this train of creating basic meals plan without compromising my nutrition. This looks like eating more raw fruits and veggies, meals in under 15 minutes, and grab and go items. The key to meal planning is taking your favorite meals and elevating them. Swapping out items for healthier versions and appreciating the difference it makes. I tend to shop around the store, meaning the produce, meat and bakery aisles — while avoiding the aisles with boxed and processed items. It’s challenging but doable. The goal is still to consume the same amount of protein and add fresh produce to every meal.

This week I’ve had major decision fatigue and I almost considered not posting…I’ll keep y’all posted on that. For now, here is this week’s meal plan:

Breakfast: Dave’s Everything Bagel w/ Avocado; Omelette; Cold Pressed Beet Juice

Lunch: Pasta w/ [Homemade] Cottage Cheese Vodka Sauce; Blackberries, Cashews

Snack: Protein Shake, Apple w/ Sunflower Butter

Dinner: Chicken Thighs, Farros, Sauteed Peppers and Onions

Grocery List

Shelf Items: Dave’s Everything Bagels, Club Soda, Cashews, Protein Pasta, Simple Mills Crackers

Produce: Blackberries, Beet Juice, Avocado

Frozen: -

Meat/Dairy: Chicken Thighs, Chicken Bacon, Egg Whites, Cottage Cheese

*If you notice that some of the meal ingredients are not listed above, that is because I use groceries from the previous week or what’s leftover in my freezer to create new meals. It’s the best way to eat clean on while sticking to a budget :)
