Menu Plan for April 27-May 2

Here’s my menu for this week complete with a 5-minute backup plan. Instead of getting derailed when unexpected things come up or when I’m in a hurry, I’ve come up with a plan for that. I can almost always spare 5 minutes, so I’ve got a plan for a back-up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I should need it.

Mon: Cheese Omelet with pepper

Think again!

So just when you thought “diet” food had to be dull, bland, tiny, unsavory, and unsatisfying, check out my perfectly on plan dinner. Parmesan crusted tilapia with green beans (obviously). I know it looks like chicken, but it’s tilapia. 4 oz of tilapia has less than 100 calories. Anyway, this whole meal has 380 calories, 25 g carbs, 43g protein.

Low calorie, low-ish carb, high-ish protein dinner!
