Step 1: Decided how many meals per day you want to eat.
3 meals, 3 snacks
3 meals, 2 snacks
3 meals, 1 snack
3 meals
Step 2: Think about what you like to eat.
Breakfast- hot eggs, a cold smoothie, or toast?
Snacks- yogurt, vegetables and dip, nuts and fresh fruit
Lunch- easy to reheat chicken and rice, a sandwich to eat at your desk, a protein shake to pound between patients?
Dinner- vegetarian, mostly fresh fishes, steak and potatoes.
PLAN MEALS. I encourage you to eat the same 1-2 breakfasts, lunches, and snacks for a week.
Then you can vary your dinner meals based on your family and time preferences.
When possible, eating the same couple of proteins while just varying vegetables or grains can help keep the meal preparations and make shopping a lot easier.
If your weight has changed, you will need to adjust your daily macro intake accordingly!
