Meal Plan (10/22-10/28)

This week's meals include chicken 3 times at dinner, then a pound of ground turkey makes meatballs for one dinner and the rest goes into tacos. Lunches are quick and easy - turkey burgers and/or veggie burgers a couple days, tuna and egg salad, and my favorite frozen veggie. If I am hungry or sluggish between meals, my go-to is a small protein shake with some frozen fruit. At about 150 calories, it fills me up and keeps me out of the stash of animal crackers: better to add something nutritious than blow the whole day on extra empty calories.
