I decided to do a post that shares with you my sample meal plan. You will get to see what I ate yesterday, what I am eating today (Tuesday) and tomorrow (Wednesday) of this week. I planned out each meal which allows me to eat healthy every day. I left out Thursday & Friday because mid-week I usually make a second trip to the grocery store. I find sometimes when I plan for the week I end up letting veggies and meats go bad and I HATE wasting food.
Sure there might be some changes I make… like a different veggie but if I have a guideline to follow, I usually stick with it.
You can see my meals from yesterday and the next two days. I have 3 meals + 2-3 snacks (usually 3) because I’m fairly active and teach so many classes.

If this is something you would like to see on a weekly basis, I would be happy to post once a week a sample of my menu! I love seeing what other people eat, it keeps me from getting into a food rut and it helps me try new things! Some of my morning meals are similar but that’s what works best for me and my body.
Do you want to see me post more Sample Meal Ideas?
Do you eat 3 meals or 5 small meals each day?

I have quite a few of the same go-to meals and snacks! We have been doing more tilapia lately because it seems to freeze well so I can buy it over the weekend and freeze it to use on Friday (since we aren’t eating meat on Fridays during lent). I also love fruit with nut butters as a snack!

I have been loving Tilapia and for me it’s easy to cook!! The no meat on fridays has made me step out of my box a little too!

I love the idea of you sharing your meals. Gives us all a little inspiration if we aren’t sure what to prepare for a certain meal. Looks like your doing well. Keep up the good work!
