meal plan 6/27-7/3

Here is everything I plan on eating this upcoming week. My DRI to maintain my current weight is 2,381 calories. For this first three months, I aim to eat 250 less calories (2,131) and then exercise about 250 calories to equate to losing a pound a week. My aim is to add 1 Mediterranean style dish to our week as we begin to introduce it into our lifestyle diet. I would jump all in, but for our kids, it will be most helpful to add it slowly and incorporate other ways to eat healthier with more variety.

• Monday 6/27

breakfast: Protein yogurt, granola, and a banana.

lunch: my favorite homemade salad (iceberg lettuce, spinach, carrots, red onion, cucumber, and a boiled egg) with grilled chicken.

dinner: cauliflower fried rice with rotisserie chicken.

snacks: Canadian bacon slices, string cheese, apple/celery & peanut butter, nuts

This is a little bare bones since we just got back from vacation and I have not fully had a chance to be more specific. I am a huge creature of habit for breakfast and lunch so I will try and switch it up once a week to give more ideas and options. Would you like me to include a shopping list for the week too? Let me know in the comments!
