Updated Meal Planning

I mentioned last week that we have slightly updated and revamped our eating and meal plans to go along with our new work out schedule.

(see more about what we are doing now here.)

You guys may have noticed that a few months ago I stopped putting up our meal plans.

Well, that was around the time we started P90X2 and it took me awhile to adjust to the new eating and honestly, our meals weren't that exciting.

Now that we are in a much better groove with our meals and eating, dinner is more exciting.

On a daily basis we eat basically the same things but I jazz them up in different ways.

Here is a basic outline of what we've been eating throughout the day:

Breakfast: 1/3 cup egg whites and no bake energy balls (we are OBSESSED with these and I make at least one batch a week.)

 Morning Snack: 1/4 cup cranberry trail mix (from Kroger: Nuts, craisins, sunflower seeds and pecans)

Lunch: Turkey and cheese sandwich on a thinwich, apple and carrots with hummus

Afternoon Snack: Another energy ball and sometimes 2 pieces of turkey bacon

Dinner: Some variation of chicken and rice/quinoa.  Or one of the meals listed below.

To keep dinner interesting I try to switch up what we are having so we don't get too bored and fall off track.  Mister to 100% content eating the same thing every day.  I am not and really enjoy to have different things to eat at least a few times a week.

Here are some of our dinner favorites and great resources:

Turkey Burgers

Chicken (baked in the oven) with different rubs or sauces

Stuffed Peppers

Zucchini Boats

Various Soups

Spicy Beans with Turkey Sausage (crockpot)

Lots of rice and quinoa

Steamed/Roasted Veggies

 Santa Fe Chicken (crockpot)

I refer to Skinnytaste a lot for recipes, cookbooks I have (really love Taste of Home Comfort Food Diet) and, of course, Pinterest.

I am mainly on the hunt for high protein meals with a vegetable and low carbs.

I am hoping to get back in the groove of posting our monthly meal plans soon if you guys want to see them!
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or if you want to see more meal ideas/recipes that we have been winners for us. 

And I totally missed it but Total Basset Case's bloggity birthday was Saturday!
