OK, here it is…. I don’t eat much of a variety. It’s just easier for me that way. I am always running around and I like to be able to grab something quick. Of course we all eat a small amount of lean protein (chicken, turkey, egg whites) plus a small amount of clean carbs (broc, cauli, sweet potatoes). I also have a small amount of whole grain with that (basmati brown rice). I try to make a pretty big quantity of protein & keep it in the frig. to grab. My husband also eats this way so I need to have my frig. stocked. I will boil or bake about 10 lbs of chicken & shred it. Then it is ready for us to grab a little portion at anytime. I bake a bunch of veges in the oven typically with some olive oil drizzled on them (fresh grated parm on top if I’m maintaining my weight, but no cheese if I’m trying to drop a few. Bake them at 415 degrees until you see they’re getting done - I do sw potatoes, broc, cauli, asparagus & sometimes a few carrots. Works for any vege. I also have a batch of basmati rice done all the time.  This way when I’m hungry, I have something quick to grab - no searching.

Just take a small amount of each and mix it together - I put mineral salt on it. If I want to get leaner, I skip the rice. I have found that if I plan ahead, I don’t even think about eating something I shouldn’t. I make mac & cheese and pizza, etc for my kids all the time, but chicken and veges is what I eat. I almost feel like a robot (lol) I just don’t think about it anymore. I like to go to the farmers market and get turkey cooked & shredded and in it’s own juice. That is great with the veges and rice. Another thing to quickly grab. Sometimes I get fish or breasts to cook on the grill, but I keep my staples in the frig. so that I don’t have to wonder ‘What is there for me to eat?’ That’s when you get into trouble. I drink flavored water all day long - sometimes hot tea.
A typical day would look like this - meals every 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

Meal #1 Huge glass of water & oatmeal (kashi go lean & skim if I’m maintaining my weight)

Meal #2 Protein powder, water & no explode on the way to the gym

Meal #3 Protein shake or lean protein & veges or protein bar if I’m in the car

Meal #4 Lean protein & veges

Meal #5 Lean protein & veges

Meal #6 Lean protein & veges
