Prep tips for day 2
- ✓Whisk the eggs and chop the vegetables tonight — the cooking itself takes only a few minutes in the morning.
- ✓Cook extra chicken while this meal is on the stove or grill — cooked chicken keeps about four days refrigerated and turns the next lunch into a five-minute assembly job.
- ✓Portion both snacks into grab-and-go containers after shopping — nuts, cheese, and cut vegetables hold for days.
This plan is set at about 1,650 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 protein foods intact. To eat more, add 1/2 cup of a whole grain or one extra ounce of protein at lunch and dinner.
