Prep tips for day 5
- ✓Toast the English muffin and portion the berries the night before; this breakfast is pure assembly.
- ✓Assemble the wrap in the morning and pack the fruit separately so nothing gets soggy by 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 1,650 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.
