Planning

Since I am working more and training hard for my first figure competition it takes careful planning to make sure I eat and train right. Every week I chop 2 big boneless, skinless chicken breasts into small cubes and divide them into 4oz weight and then keep them in baggies and throw them in a storage bowl. Then I cook a whole bunch whole wheat spaghetini and brown basmati rice and put them in storage containers and keep them in the fridge. I'm just too lazy to chop up veggies ahead of time and it's really not as hard as doing all the prep for each meal if I prepare the carbs an chicken ahead of time. As you can tell by the photo, I am going to be cooking more rice and pasta tomorrow. Those chicken bags will be gone by the end of tomorrow too so I'll have to chop more of those on Thursday.

This is what it looks like when I put it all together. I don't mind this carbless meal..for a carbless meal. I've had much worse!

Dinner

Careful planning really does help. This is a good habit to get into. Even if you are someone just generally trying to lose some fat or trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle. 1) It's cheaper than going out if you get stuck hungry while you are out! 2) It's much easier to cook when all the prep is done already.

I love all of your tips, and I'm making a note of them all. :o) Thanks...

Thank you! I have many tips coming. I plan on compiling a lot of these tips into some sort of ebook in the near future.

Thanks for reading them. :)

what is that flat black thing on the counter?

That's a food scale! I highly recommend one when you are "dieting"

Can't remember if I've asked you this before but just wondering if the whole family eats basically the same meals as you (with maybe a little extra thrown in) or do you end up having to cook separate for them?

Nope, they eat different most times. Mostly because I eat at a different time sometimes. Depends on when the next 3 hours is! But yes, I cook for them as well as myself and differently than myself. They do their own breakfast and lunch so all I have to worry about is dinner most days. I cook up to 5x/day usually.

Ooh, that does look good.
