My mom came to me last month asking me to make up a 2 week or month calendar filled with healthy eating foods for one of her friends! Of course I am jumping to the challenge! I love to look up healthy food options and of course helping others! I mean that is what this whole blog thing is about right? Connecting with others over healthy living!
I decided I could probably put something together with the eats that I know which would be fine but I also think this could be a way that I could learn more from YOU! Isn’t that such a great idea?! So here is what I want you to do! Comment below with a breakfast, lunch, dinner and of course snacks that you would tell someone who is looking to lose weight to eat for a day! Lets make an awesome monthly calendar! (:
PS: I’ll put the calendar together and share with you guys at the end that way we all have an awesome healthy eating agenda!

I’m by no means an expert but here you go…
Breakfast: 1 serving oat bran made with water and cinnamon; piece of fruit
AM Snack: 1 piece of fruit
Lunch: 1 vegetable, 1 serving lean protein (ex: turkey and spinach); pretzels or a hand-full of roasted (unsalted) almonds
PM Snack: Another piece of fruit or air-popped popcorn
Dinner: Baked sweet potato “fries”, 1 baked chicken breast, spinach
A favorite meal (good for any meal) is scrambled eggs with veggies! That was my dinner tonight – I used spinach, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, and topped with avocado! YUM. I also love apple and PB for a snack!
An easy go to snack would be clean egg muffins (( 8 egg whites, whatever veggies they want… preheat oven to 350 degrees. Layer chopped veggies (tomatoes, onions, broccoli, etc) on bottom & than top with egg whites. Oregano and basil are good spices to add as well.. Bake for 10 minutes ))
I’m not a huge meal planner… I do a lot of meal prep on Sundays (washing and cutting veggies and making beans), but here’s my breakfast, lunch, & dinner suggestion:
Breakfast – 2 eggwhites + 1 whole egg with steamed spinach or kale on the side. Apple or 1/2 grapefruit on the side
Lunch – salad loaded with tons of veggies – I like using zucchini or squash as a base then adding peppers, carrots, red onion, sunflower seeds, and tuna. Homemade dressing using avocado & plain greek yogurt
Dinner: baked or grilled chicken with a side of broccoli with nutritional yeast on top!
I am a big salad fan. I love love love salads. I also like eggs with fruit in the morning. Quick and simple is best since I have 2 little ones.
