I really want to see if this is true and to see if I can 100% stick to the food I set for myself over the week, it will be all cooked (as much as possible) and be ready to go for breakfasts, lunches and dinners with snacks in between! I may even go as far to write out all my workouts ready to give me added focus at the gym!
Sunday afternoon's are made for prep! I got up this morning after a great night out with the gym crew and went to the gym at 8am, completed my workout, got showered, cooked a tasty omelette for breakfast and headed out to do the food shopping! I went with a list of the things I needed to prep all my meals and snacks! (didn't want to get sidetracked)
It is now 17:30pm and I am done!!! Food prep complete!!
The food shopping! One bag to complete the magic! |
- bag of mixed seeds
- bag of plain cashew nuts
- 1 head of broccoli
- 2 heads of cauliflower
- 3 peppers
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- a bag of carrots
- 500g pack of chicken
- 2 packs of 2 portions of salmon
- a pack of mangetout
- smoked back bacon
- free range eggs
- peanut butter
From the cupboard:
First I measured out my afternoon snack. 30g of mixed seeds and 25g of plain cashew nuts into a tub and 5 done. (there was a bit left over so that is ready in case I need a little something extra, I know its there and its healthy)
Next I made Paprika Chicken with cauliflower rice, more information on that will be in a separate post. Once done it was split into 5 portions ready for my evening meals.
And finally I made lunches, that are made up of Salmon, grated carrot, sliced and fried sweet potato and steamed broccoli with a piece of fruit for after.
Breakfast will be a packet of raspberry porridge, it doesn't need any advance prep as it is already measured so can be made in the morning.
Mid morning, I will have a protein shake as my morning snack around 10:30am
I have been going most of the afternoon, I had a break for a cuppa and to change the washing over but all in I think its about 3 and 1/2 hours which isn't bad considering the time it will save in the week!

- coconut oil

I love how organised you've been. Your going to have the best week.... Less washing up, less time spent cooking and ready as soon as you are!!! Why don't I do this?Emily X
ReplyDeleteHi Emily, thanks for the comment! I am looking forward to focusing on other important things at the moment and you're right the washing up for me is enough of an incentive! It doesn't take a lot of time to plan and execute so give it a go! Tweety xx
