A Personal Trainers Week of Simple and Tasty Healthy Eating

Since I am a personal trainer my clients ask me what I eat in a week. Well, to be honest, it varies and changes from week to week. But to give you an idea, I thought maybe I should post one of my weekly plans for you to try at least give you some good ideas.

Keep in mind that my wife and I usually prep a lot of snacks and meals before hand, usually just after getting groceries makes our busy week much easier to manage. You will notice that I make smoothies most mornings, I get up early and I 'm out the door, so it is a convenient way to get in the diet, but if you have more time or can I make more time suggest doing something together food as a vegetable omelet or oatmeal and egg or something white.

The system we use is normally "double make for dinner" so that we can get back for lunch the next day. So the day of our meal plan really started yesterday.

This should give you an idea, but do not hesitate to make equally healthy alternatives to all the foods you do not like. (For example a vegetable exchange for a vegetable or a fruit fruit, etc.)Next day I take the supplement with breakfastVitamin D, omega 3 fish oils , green Supplement 

Here is the meal plan

Day1 Sunday Dinner / Lunch Monday - Montreal Spicy Steak and blue cheese with baby dill potatoes and a salad of lettuce radish carrots and celery in a dill and olive oil vinaigretteBreakfast - banana and chocolate whey protein, milk and Greek yogurt shake

Day2 Monday night / Tuesday Lunch- white pepper mustard chicken with baked pear and fresh avocado and a side of broccoli and cauliflower and mushrooms (fungi are only for my wife, mushrooms are gross, but the soup mushroom is impressive but it is a discussion for another day)

Snack 2 - Berry and Spinach Smoothie

Day 3 Tuesday Dinner / Lunch Monday - Lean ham and pineapple skewers with sweet potato and asparagus.

Day 5 Thursday night / Friday Lunch - Cajun Steak Bites with Peppers

Breakfast - banana and chocolate whey protein shake with milk and Greek yogurt

Snack 1 - carrots and macadamia nuts

Snack 2 - carrots peppers and cheese

Snack 3 - hot cocoa with real Hershey cocoa and hot milk ( cocoa " cheerful" antioxidants and warm milk has properties " good sleep ")

That's it. This is the meal plan for the week. What about Friday night and Saturday , you say? Simple, one of those nights is the date night and go out and other meals are spent using up what's left in the refrigerator, because it is all in good health because our house is the place "safe " to eat, we can do all kinds of things with our imagination and Google. Or if it is a "blah" day we might just have a soup or one of our favorite frozen as stew or chili meal.

Notice how this meal plan began with beef and rotate protein sources each day? It is a healthy practice of eating a variety of foods and we find that the rotation of protein each day is better on our systems and makes planning easy meal. So this week , it was beef, chicken, ham, seafood, beef. Next week, we probably do chicken, ham , seafood , beef, chicken.

On a side note our grocery excluding non-food products or supplements to this meal plan bill, you can expect to pay $ 90 - $ 130 for two people based products and meat prices and quality.

I hope this gives you some good ideas in your meal planning efforts.
