21 Day Fix Meal Plan & Grocery List #2

I wanted to share a meal plan with you guys that is a bit more on-par with what we eat in my household. I generally make and eat the same things every day for one week and then change things up for the next week. I meal plan Friday, grocery shop Saturday and cook/assemble on Sundays. This version of the meal plan also addresses vacation - or simply going out of town to visit family - and how I work that into and plan for being away from home. This is an example week of eating!

You can see that I plan to eat the same Monday - Friday until dinner, when I will be arriving at my destination and I already know what we will be having. I also planned out what we will eat for breakfast with my family already. I will be packing and bringing with me: 2 green juices, 2 portions of protein powder, 2 Kind bars, and 2 peaches. I am leaving some of the meals open for interpretation - I am sure we will eat out for lunch Saturday and are planning to eat out Saturday night for dinner. I also left Sunday lunch open for a meal with Hubs.

The general rule is - even though I may not be in complete control for my 'free meal' - to eat mindfully and make good choices. Maybe I'll be somewhere that has fried shrimp but I bet they also have grilled shrimp with veggies. Pizza? YUM. I bet they have a pretty good Greek Salad also. It's all about consistency and commitment! Or thats what I tell myself...  Moving on to the good stuff.

A FEW THINGS...

• I did not include things in the list like mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper, etc. 
• All these foods can be subbed for similar things! Maybe you hate peaches or this week cherries are super-expensive at your grocery, switch to apples!  
• Each day averages about 1500 calories, 118g protein, 34g fiber, 128g carbs. 

It seems like a lot when I type it all out but after doing this version of meal prep for so long it really takes me little effort and a little more time. It's worth it because meal prep keeps me out of the fast food lane!
