Menu planning has gotten interesting this week since I’ve decided to participate in the Advocare 24 Day Challenge again. Although I don’t need to lose weight; I do need to get back to my clean eating habit. Since I will be cutting out sugar and most carbohydrates (like white flour and pasta), I will be making separate meals for my family. Hubby and the boys were not agreeable to my diet. Instead of forcing my meal plan on them, it’s just easier to make my own!
Cooking ahead was again the key to success for the week. I prepped raw veggies and fruit to take to work for snacks. I cooked meat ahead of time, sauteed veggies and made a grilled sweet potato salad.
What I’m eating this week:
Breakfast – homemade oatmeal with berries, nuts and chia seeds
Lunches – Grilled chicken or pork loin, sauteed veggies, salad with black bean burger cut up in it
Dinner – Grilled sweet potato salad (made on Sunday – just need to add the avocado)eggs with sauteed veggies, protein drink, kale salad with tuna
Snacks – Nuts, veggies & hummus, hard boiled egg, Greek yogurt, fruit, oatmeal bites (dried fruit, chia seeds and flax in rolled oats)

Wednesday- BBQ Sandwiches (place roast in slow cooker in the am, applesauce, cucumber slices
