The Cr8 Fitness Ultimate Guide to Meal Planning
Chapter 7: The "Crazy Day" Meal Plan
Reality Check: We ALL have crazy days, when the best laid plans just go haywire. The "Crazy Day Food Plan" is for THOSE kinds of days. In fact our colleague Josh Hillis recommends you just make this your "Monday Food Plan" and start your week off with no fuss at all.
I'll bet you can identify at least one day of the week, every week, where this plan would really be a big help. All these foods are easy to keep in the house and grab when we need them. Set yourself up for success!
You DO Have A Choice
There are so many more choices to get a healthy meal on the go than there used to be, like the Burrito Bowl in the infographic above. That's a good thing, because we eat out a LOT more than we used to even 10 years ago. There is more travel for work, one or more vacations a year, and many of our gatherings with family and friends involve sitting down at our favorite restaurant.
Integrating these occasions into our overall meal planning is important. Noting when, where and what you eat at these times on your weekly meal planning template reveals patterns; How often am I eating out? Where am I eating? What am I eating?
Next week we are going to wrap up our meal planning series with some "real world" strategies for making healthy choices when you eat out.
