Weekly Prep

Tonight is grill night. After the surgery, I realized quickly that cooking for one has just gotten a bit harder. I have portions that I need to eat, but flavors that I like. SO, I have devised a plan for the summer anyway.!! I grill one night a week, and make enough whatever for the week. Tonight it is a package of Chicken Feta and Spinach sausages and 3 chicken breasts marinated in FF Italian Dressing. I will have dinner and lunches for the rest of the week, and only used enough charcoal for one grilling! It is very easy to take the chicken and add other ingredients to make it taste different enough that it won't get boring. As well as different veggies or whatnot to go with!

I have purchased some 1/2 cup glad ware containers and 1 cup Zip lock containers to pack lunches in. Basically it makes it so much easier to just mix and toss into he correct container. I am still eating one cup at a meal, so it's a cinch.

Another helpful tidbit I have found is that the Starkest tuna pouches 2.6oz are about a half cup. So I have that and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese for a really good and high protein lunch on the go. That lunch has 170 cal, 3g fat, 5 carbs, 32 proteins. I don't add anything to my tuna but salt and pepper.

40.0 lbs to date!
