Prep tips for day 2
- ✓Toast the English muffin and portion the berries the night before; this breakfast is pure assembly.
- ✓Shrimp thaws quickly and cooks in minutes — move a bag to the refrigerator the night before and dinner comes together fast.
- ✓Steam the whole bag of edamame at once, then portion it — it keeps several days and reheats in seconds.
This plan is set at about 1,700 calories a day with roughly 35 grams of protein or more at each main meal. To eat less, drop the second snack and cut starch portions by one-third, keeping the protein foods intact. To eat more, add 1/2 cup of a whole grain or one extra ounce of protein at lunch and dinner.
