Keep Your Cabinets Stocked with These Ingredients
Preparing your own food is crucial for weight loss. I recommend meal planning to my clients. I personally plan my meals for the week and prep ingredients in advance, making healthy cooking easier even on busy nights. Instead of ordering takeout, prepare a few simple "Meals on Deck" – quick, easy recipes – and keep the necessary ingredients stocked.

This prevents unhealthy impulse choices. For a meal plan, simply choose 6-10 easy "Meals on Deck" to keep on hand throughout the week.Some of my clients' Meals on Deck consist of:
Low-fat Greek yogurt with a banana
A can of tuna and Marie's gone crackers
Egg omelet w/veggies and a piece of toast
Chicken with zucchini wok and half a bag of rice
Wraps with any lean beef or tofu.
Cottage cheese and fruit
Butter lettuce wraps and ground turkey.
Chickpeas and tuna.
Shrimp cocktail.
Protein powder, ice, nut butter, almond milk and a banana.
Peanut butter, jelly, and Ezekiel bread.
BAS- big ass salad with choice of protein.
Deli meat wraps with veggies
Portobello mushroom burger with lettuce and tomato
If you are able to identify one or two Meals on Deck for every type of meal; breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you will have successfully made yourself your very own meal plan and are on the road to saving money and eating well.
