High-Powered Meal Planning

Appetizer
Pre-plan your meals MORE often. When you wait until you're hungry to start thinking of what to eat, chances are high that you'll end up just grabbing whatever is readily available - chips, cookies, and other high-calorie snacks.

By planning ahead, you can take the time to prepare meals (or at least think about them) before you actually get hungry.

Main Course
Many of you are wondering what a day of healthy meals looks like. While I don't subscribe to rigid meal plans, here's an example of a great day of eating for the average person:


Breakfast: Oatmeal (sweetened with Splenda) and scrambled egg whites mixed with one egg
Snack: Low-fat yogurt
Lunch: One cup of rice with a spinach-based salad or baked fish & grilled veggies
Snack: A medium apple, two rice cakes, and 2 tablespoons of nuts or natural peanut butter
Dinner: Large salad with grilled veggies and protein (grilled chicken, tofu, turkey, etc.)
Dessert: 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries with a tablespoon of Cool Whip

Dessert
How do you feel about the meal plan above? If you're already eating similarly, you are probably only in the need of minor changes. If you're way off and thinking that I've lost my mind, you might need to start making some major dietary changes.

Stick with me, and I'll show you how...
