Week 3 Meal Plan | #30daysofpaleo

One of the best ways to plan for success is to plan… I can plan 4.5 weekly menus…! Easy peasy! It’s following the plan that’s the hard part, of course.

Here’s my plan for this week:

I am starting the week off by cooking 1lb of ground beef and 1lb of nitrate-free bacon to have ready-to-go in the fridge (used most with breakfast omelets and lunch meals). I will reserve 1 spaghetti squash and 1 whole chicken for meals later in the week.

Sunday

Breakfast: Eggs with roasted garlic, spinach and ground beef Lunch: Grain-free porridge and roasted sweet potatoes to snack on later (I'll be at the Lynchburg Bridal Expo so this is quick and easy if prepared ahead of time!) Dinner: roasted whole chicken with vegetables (onions, carrots, broccoli) (plus rice for Tommy)

Monday

Breakfast: Eggs with roasted garlic and spinach, strawberries Lunch: Taco salad with salsa & avocado Dinner: Leftover chicken sautéed with brussel sprouts, white onions and grass-fed butter

Tuesday (early gym day, quick breakfast)

Breakfast: Grain-free porridge and fruit (Recipe can be found in practical paleo) Lunch: Spaghetti squash with tomato sauce & grass fed beef Dinner: almond breaded chicken with steamed vegetables

Wednesday (traveling mid-day, easy to-go lunch)

Breakfast: Omelet with ground beef, mushrooms and spinach, grain-free porridge (and fruit for Sunday) Lunch: Green smoothie (home made almond milk, spinach, frozen banana and almond butter) Dinner: Chicken breasts over strawberry and spinach/romaine salad

Thursday (early gym day, quick breakfast)

Breakfast: Grain-free porridge and fruit Lunch: Leftover spaghetti squash with tomato sauce & grass fed beef Dinner: taco veggie lettuce wraps (tortillas + cheese for Tommy)

Friday (traveling mid-day, easy to-go lunch)

Oh gosh. I might turn orange with all the carrots and sweet potatoes in my diet. Good thing I can have fruit next week... I'll be laying off the carrot juice for a while!!

Also, as you can see... I have no problem with routine and eating the same meals repeatedly. At least, I have no problem planning it. Let's see if I can stick to the plan, though!
