My Weekly Nutrition and Training Plan


The below nutrition plan is what I eat Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sunday during the day I still eat clean but will eat whatever is left over or what I have around my apartment. Two nights a week I have "treat" meals - whatever I choose. They are usually Saturday and Sunday night, but it does vary. I switch up my eating every week. I plan the week before what I want to have for meals, make the grocery list, and prep the food on Sunday's. A lot of times people will ask me if I get bored eating the same thing everyday. The answer is no. It is only 5 days a week that I eat the same thing. I eat to live - not live to eat. It took me a long time to come to that.  I also do this to save money. I live alone so I can't really cook tons of different things during the week because it's too expensive and will go bad. There are also ways you can switch up your eating day to day. Like my Quest Bars for instance; I eat a different flavor everyday, same with my yogurt. You can read here for meal prep ideas!

  1. You seriously always post the best stuff.
    I'd love to see the recipes!! For over night oats, do you just put all that stuff in the jar and then in fridge for over night then heat in the microwave in the morning? I have seen a lot of recipes for over night oats, but never tried them

  2. Hey you! I found another really wonderful thing about Quest Nutrition Bars - No SOY... which means I can keep them in the house.

    Emry has a soy intolerance - and I feel so bad when he can't have one of my protein bars or hiking meal bars because of it's ingredients! So - Quest Bars - You rock. Hahahaha.

    That quiche looks KILLER!

  6. Thanks for the compliment on the bf. Guess I can keep him! haha

    The pot roast looks amazing! I used the crock pot yesterday, for the first time since summer, and it was amazing! And, even though it is still warm, it has cooled off enough outside that it didn't make the house hot.

    The chicken almost looks like a green chile and it makes me tempted to try it. Otherwise, I don't really like orange chicken -weird, right?

    1. You're welcome... I hope you didn't think I was being inappropriate, but I figured with our friendship, you knew what I meant. And "Orange Chicken" is a total hit or miss, it's an odd taste so people either love it or hate it! haha.

  8. Wow! These meals look really good! I am trying to look a few more pounds and I think these will really help me. Does anyone have any more tips on what I can do to lose a little more weight? I am exercising and such. Maybe some work out suggestions?
