[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s awesome, OP! If you don’t mind, please post some of your meals and snacks to encourage the rest of us to:-)

My favorite late afternoon at work snack of late has been lowfat cottage cheese, with ebtb seasoning and chopped cucumbers on top, and a few bagel chips. I bought little snack containers on amazon and prep a few days’ worth of work snacks at a time. [/quote]

That sounds like a really delicious snack! This week I have been eating Siggi's skyr and having spinach and fruit protein shakes (spinach, fruit, unflavored protein powder, almond milk), and leftover charoset (chopped apples and walnuts) and matzah (Happy Passover)  for snacks. I need to build up my repository of snacks so I don't get bored, but it's been fine so far.

The two things I think I have found most helpful to keep my on track this week are: 
1. Batch cooking two proteins. I grilled chicken over the weekend, and have used it in salads every day this week and two dinners (one on it's own the night it cooked with a side of veggies and sourdough) and one dinner was leftover chicken over quinoa and roasted veggies. I also cooked a big batch of turkey meatballs last night which I am having over leftover quinoa and roasted veggies for lunch today and might use in greek pita pockets for dinner tomorrow. It's helped me take guesswork out of putting together meals, which helps me not pick up door dash and order something that won't fit my calories/macros.

2. Tracking food by planning out either dinner or lunch (or both) ahead of time (at least by the night before). Doing this has allowed me to fill in any calorie/macro gaps or know what to leave out in other meals (for example, using less olive oil in my salad dressing when my fat grams are too high).

I welcome ideas on other batch cooking protein/meal ideas for future weeks!
