I see a lot of posts on dieting, but I am more interested in meal plans. If I plan ahead then I can better protect my diet and save some money. So here is mine and I am interested to see everyone's too.
This is my weekly plan
Breakfast:
1 doz eggs- $3
sausage(hillshire farms) or bacon(nitrate free)$3 or $6 for the bacon
Coffee- 2 cups kuerig w/french vanilla cream $5
Total $11 per week/$2.2 per meal
Lunch
Big salad- I prepare a salad on sunday night in two good size tupperware. I put a paper towel on top to help with condensation
Kale or baby spinach(I like spinach, its tough to eat raw kale for me.) $6
celery $2
carrots $2
yellow bell pepper $1.5
cucumber $1
tomato $1.5
2 lbs of chicken crock pot with enchilada $7
Total $21.00 per week/$5.25 per meal - I only plan for 4 meals a week, it gives me a cheat lunch which I use sometimes
Dinner
Zuccinni- $1.50 - I love the veggitti
Italian sauage or Whole foods type sausage- $6
Total $7.50 per week/$1.38 per meal- 4 meals again
So here is my plan about $40.00 per week. It covers me for about 5 days a week. I am single with no kids and I tend to go out a couple of times per week. I also get almonds and apples for snacks, unless I get chex mix. I would like more veggies, but when I buy too much it goes bad.
So any tips for meals that don't require a lot of ingredients and can only be prepared in a huge serving, I don't want to eat the same thing every night. But I am looking into getting a dutch oven and do some more recipes from four hour body.
