FOOD PREP

I always prep my meals in advance. Why? Because it keeps me on track and saves me from snacking or grazing all day, I find that if I graze I end up seriously overeating!

Instead of following a set meal plan which I would normally do, I have decided to have a go at tracking my macros and working to fit them just so that I can play around with the sources of food that I am having, this way I won't get bored of my diet.

I still prep my meals for 3 days at a time, today I have prepped my food, logged it all into myfitnesspal and made it fit my macros perfectly. I've been meal prepping for years so I know roughly how much of each food source I need. I have 6 meals, some form of protein source in each, 2 of them have carbs in (pre and post workout meals) and the others are either just protein, or protein and fats. I always start my meals with the protein first, then add carbs/fats then salad/veg.

Here are my meals for the next 3 days...

Meal 1: 3 whole eggs, 3 egg white omelette with mushrooms, spinach, asparagus & tomatoes Meal 2 (pre workout): 125g platinum muscle fuel tandoori chicken breast, pan fried asparagus, 150g baby white potatoes Meal 3 (post workout): 45g oats, 30g scitec whey mint choc flavour, 60g blueberries, 30g raisins, cinnamon Meal 4: 125g platinum muscle fuel tandoori chicken breast, mediterranean vegetables Meal 5: 100g lean mince beef, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, asparagus, sweetcorn, garlic, 100g cottage cheese Meal 6: 100g salmon fillet, mixed salad TOTAL CALORIES: 1650kcal CARBS: 123g FAT: 52g PROTEIN: 176g This took me roughly and hour or so to prepare, I buy my med veg in oven bake trays, white potato takes 5 minutes in the microwave, all chicken breasts in the oven at the same time... I am all for flavour, variation, simplicity!
