Prep tips for day 3

✓Portion the yogurt, fruit, and dry toppings into a container tonight so breakfast is grab-and-go.
✓This salad holds well in the refrigerator — make both servings at once and tomorrow's lunch is done.
✓Wash and portion the fruit when you put the groceries away so snacks need zero assembly.

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.
