Blog Post #5: Meal Plan

Hello everyone!! Based on another peer's comment, she suggested that I come up with a meal plan that's budget friendly and healthy for students finding themselves with "no time" for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner:

This meal plan is recommended for students who exercise regularly a week, of course every individual is different so feel free to tweak these recipes to suit your liking!!

-Choose one recipe under each meal:

meal 1

1.) egg white omelet (1/2 cup liquid egg whites) with 1 cup broccoli.

2.) toasted wheat bread with salmon lox and/or avocado

meal 2

1.) 1 small can tuna with 2 cups broccoli

2.) 1 cup of mixed fruits (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries) and handful of almonds (low sodium)

meal 3

1.) 9 oz boneless skinless steamed chicken breast and 1 cup steamed green beans.

2.) Smoked salmon with lemon glaze

meal 4

1.) 1.5 scoops vanilla whey protein mixed w/ water (I was using Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein Powder in Vanilla)

2.) Atkins Dark Chocolate Royale Meal Shake

meal 5

1.) 9 oz boneless skinless steamed chicken breast, 2 cups romain lettuce, 1 tomato.

2.) Chicken lettuce cups

meal 6

1.) 1.5 scoops vanilla whey protein mixed w/ water

2.) Atkins Meal Shake

Challenges I have encountered throughout the duration of following this meal plan myself was trying to expand the other possible recipes I can mix around for each meal because they start to get repetitive, but by having multiple options, as I will post next time, it challenges my metabolism to not grow accustomed to specific recipes and making it easier to stay healthy.
