Prep tips for day 4

  • ✓Portion the yogurt, fruit, and dry toppings into a container tonight so breakfast is grab-and-go.
  • ✓Shrimp thaws quickly and cooks in minutes — move a bag to the refrigerator the night before and dinner comes together fast.
  • ✓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.
