I grill chicken breast and cut it up and put it in the fridge. I pull it out and throw it over salad

I marinate meat on Sundays in kebab sized pieces and grill them when for dinner. For instance tonight I'm doing beef kebab and brussel sprouts (I've already ran the sprouts through the food processor).

I make soup ahead of time

I make a huge pot of Dal (Indian style lentils) and some brown rice on Sundays (this is the extent of my pure carb eating).

I make a cabbage vinaigrette slaw on sundays so I can just scoop the slaw out for a veggie.

I cut and rinse all of my broccoli.

This Sunday, I roasted about 4 bunches of beets and peeled them, they are ready to eat whenever I am.

I make a pot of Bolognese and then roast a large spaghetti squash, scoop the flesh out and have it drained and ready for meals.

I HAVE to do a ton of Sunday prep. Mainly because I do not eat wheat and eat just about no processed foods. I work full time, so this is really my only option.

My big ones are Mac and cheese, baked ziti..basically any type of pasta casserole, and soups. I always make my soups the day before. They actually taste better the next day.

In my household, only two of us are eating the chicken (DS is only 7 months) and we usually only have enough for two meals. At meal one, we each eat one leg (drumstick and thigh) and DH also eats half a chicken breast. For meal two, I shred the remaining one and a half breasts to make chicken salad or quesadillas. The carcass goes in the freezer to make stock when I've saved up a few.

It's not like DH and I are overweight. We are both actually probably on the smaller side. I am 5'2", 105 lbs and DH is 5'10" probably about 150lbs.
