7 Day Meal Planner
Setting up a 7 Day Meal Plan can be hard if you don't know what it looks like. I would like to provide you with a sample which is provided below. You don't have to make a 7 day meal plan. You can make it for the next four weeks, the next 10 days, the next 21 days - whichever you have the time to prepare. I found making a seven day diet plan works best, and just repeat each week. Now my plan includes a lot of oatmeal, brown rice and tuna (a lot of low fat high protein foods). It's healthy, delicious and great way to start losing weight
Day 1
Meal 1Â 8:00am - 4 Egg whites + 1 whole egg scrambled with cooking spray, and 1 package Quaker Wild Berry Oatmeal
Meal 2Â 11:00am - 1 can of tuna mixed with fat free tuna + 1/2 cup of brown rice.
Meal 3Â 2:00pm - 1 cup of lean turkey + 1/2 cup of brown rice.
Meal 45:00pm - 100 grams of chicken + 2 cups of broccoli (drizzled with olive oil)
Meal 5Â 8:00m - 1 cup 1-2% cottage cheese + 1 tbsp peanut butter
Calories 1566Fat 41gCarb 119gProtein 178g
So this is a typical day of mine at my calorie level, now the fat is a little high - it should probably be at about 20%.
Day 2
