Daily Meal Ideas – Fit & Fabulous

Day #5 of becoming Fit & Fabulous

If you have just found me you should first read Day #1 Clean Eating Guidelines, Day #2 How to Structure Your Meals, Day #3 Extra’s You Should Know About and Day #4 What To Eat & When. Together we are working on becoming a new you for 2014 starting in the kitchen. Today I am sharing how a typical days worth of eating could look for you. This is what has worked for me losing 20kgs after each pregnancy, then maintaining a Fit & Fabulous figure. You can too, it’s not out of the question in fact I believe it’s completely achievable that’s why I am going to all this trouble to share with you. This is all for FREE and is all what has worked for me so no more nasty emails or FB msgs about my food choices they are just suggestions.

To eat this way means you make most of your food. I too am lazy and can’t be arsed slaving in the kitchen so they are cheat ways I have found to be savvy such as the BBQ chicken. Use Sunday to shop and prep for a healthy week. Then at least you will eat healthy for Mon-Fri then Saturday is take-a-way or what ever is left (one night a week is ok). Then Sunday is do it all over again day. It works. No deprivation here, no counting calories or weighing food. Just good food at the right times.

MEAL ONE: Breakfast. Oatmeal with all the extras I have shared already. No honey or sugar needed with this recipe. Here is a different spin on oatmeal, I’ve added chocolate protein powder to this one, doing diffrent things to it stops it from being boring.

MEAL TWO: After workout meal/Morning Meal. Protein shake or a smoothie. Then eggs with spinach, cheese and tomato. This will keep you full until lunch time which means you wont need to snack on junk to tie you over.

MEAL THREE: Lunch. Chicken and salad and a Sunday pre-cooked sweet potato. The salad is really simple just spinach leaves, tomato, cucumber and add some Greek yoghurt to act as a salad dressing. This can be made in the morning to take to work or at home at lunch time no excuses.

MEAL FOUR:  Asian greens and a protein shake or smoothie. Eat the Asian greens first finish with a tasty smoothie. Asian Greens for me is Broccolini, Bok Choy, Beans and cabbage. Stir fry in a bit of olive oil, chuck in garlic and onion flakes. Make on Sunday keep in the fridge use as a salad or heat up in the microwave. Add almonds for a crunch.

MEAL FIVE: Dinner. Keeping it really simple it is a meat and salad. So chicken breast, or steak or fish grilled with garlic or lemon juice or any herbs and spice you like to add flavor. Now is a good time to simply have salad as you have had Asian greens and a sweet potato today you can get away with spinach leaves, tomato, cucumber and avocado. Yes that easy. Another great addition is plain brown rice, I am a fan of the 90 second brown rice packs from the supermarket as cooking brown rice can take 20 minutes. Remember I too have three kids and I don’t want to waste my life in the kitchen I need convenience too. In this pic notice I have added grapes to my salad for something sweet also. Dinner Rule: No simple carbs at dinner (deep fried/white rice/pasta).

MEAL SIX: Protein shake. If you are still hungry after dinner have one last protein shake for the day. If you have say a chocolate flavored one for this meal then it will take care of your evening chocolate craving and fill you up for the night.

That could be your daily meal plan right there. There is nothing there that needs to be eaten separate to the kids they should be eating all this too. There is a good variety, lots of vegetables and lots protein even some carbs. A little bit of prep on a Sunday goes a long way towards a healthy week. Repetition is the key here to get you started too, you need to know whats coming next to take the guess work out of it.

Tomorrow I will share with you how to prep it all on a Sunday. I will also share some ideas for different dinner meals and some yummy treats that are good for you. Love to hear your feedback below, email or on the facebook page. I am with you all the way here keeping it real for you to clean up your diet and next week we will talk about getting fit.
