Prep tips for day 2
- ✓Mix tomorrow's oats tonight — they soften in the refrigerator overnight and need no morning cooking.
- ✓Canned tuna needs no cooking — mix the salad in the morning and it holds until lunch.
- ✓Portion both snacks into grab-and-go containers after shopping — nuts, cheese, and cut vegetables hold for days.
This plan is set at about 1,500 calories a day for five days. To eat less, drop the second snack and cut starch portions (oats, rice, quinoa, potato) by one-third. To eat more, add 1/2 cup of a whole grain or one extra ounce of protein to lunch and dinner. Protein and non-starchy vegetables stay the same at every level.
