What's on the menu?

I always have people asking me for meal plans, or what I eat on a given day. Here is what I'm planning on having tomorrow - note that I've already planned this! This way, I can make whatever meals I will need while I'm out of the house tonight, and have them ready to go in my cooler when I need them. It's very empowering!

Breakfast:
5 egg whites with 1/2c sauteed spinach and mushrooms
1/3c oatmeal with cinnamon and a small handfull of blueberries and 1tsp flax seed
Coffee with fat free creamer and stevia

Snack: Post-workout meal
Whey Protein powder with 1/2c almond milk
1/2 banana
10 almonds

Lunch:
5oz low sodium tuna wrap (Wrap-Up brand, low-fat)

1 small apple

1/2c fat free cottage cheese with 1/4c blueberries, cinnamon and 1tsp flax seed

Dinner:
5oz tilapia
10-15 asparagus stalks sauteed in 1tsp coconut oil

I don't like to eat a lot of carbs at the end of the day since most of my energy is needed early in the day. I try to eat most of my carbs before and after my workout, and cut them out later in the day when I'm not doing as much. I try to get a little bit of good fat in with each meal...flax is a great addition to almost anything because you can't really even taste it. And if you haven't ever cooked your asparagus in coconut oil - you're missing out! Got that idea from a friend of mine and I'm hooked! It makes it nice and crispy! You can adjust the carbs up if you need to. I'm not having a lot this week because I want to slim down a bit for the hubby's return. :) And I've got a competition to do in a few months! :) Have fun with your meals, plan them and pack them the night before and you have no reason to fail! It's a lot of work, but if it were easy, we'd all be supermodels. ;)
