Week 1 Menu Plan

Every menu is based on my daily calorie intake, includes 3 meals and snacks. My daily consumption is 1520. I used the MyFitnessPal app on my phone (also available online) to count my calories and it was what suggested my intake. Try the app out yourself and see what it suggests for you based on your goals and adjust as needed! Also: my meals are set for 2 people with some leftovers for lunch most of the time.

Here's Week 1! Under the recipes tab you will find each meal that needs explaining and I will try my best to include a shopping list as well!

Monday
Breakfast: Toaster Waffles, Homemade Strawberry Topping & Whip Cream
Lunch: Tuna Salad & Celery
Dinner: Freschetta Pizza & Garlic Knot (I work late on Mondays so something easy to pop in the oven works great for us!) Snacks: Orange Dream Pie

Tuesday
Breakfast: Toaster Waffles, Homemade Strawberry Topping & Whip Cream (It was so good I had to have it again!)
Lunch: Mason Jar Very Veggie Salad (I will put a tutorial in the recipes section!)
Dinner: Grilled Brawts, Beans & Chips
Snacks: White Cheddar Popcorn & Orange Dream Pie

Wednesday
Breakfast: Instant Oatmeal w/ Caramelized Banana (Hint: Cook a flavored oatmeal packet on the stove and slice banana into it, allow it to cook all together, the banana is so sweet this way!)
Lunch: Leftover Pizza from Monday
Dinner: Steak Stir Fry (This is one of our ABSOLUTE favorites, we waited all week for it!)
Snacks: Naval Orange, Orange Dream Pie

Thursday
Breakfast: Toaster Waffles, Homemade Strawberry Topping & Whip Cream (Can't tell I REALLY like it can you?)
Lunch: Leftover Brawt from Tuesday & Chips
Dinner: Turkey Burgers & Chips (Don't knock it til you try it, I was an all beef girl but when its seasoned well a turkey burger can be AHHH-mazing)
Snacks: White Cheddar Popcorn

Friday
Breakfast: Yogurt & Fruit (I get a lot of chores done on Friday mornings so I do grab and go, feel free to move this to a day you don't have as much time in the morning!)
Lunch: Frozen Yogurt (Yes, this is my "cheat" moment. There is a Fro-Yo place across from my work that I treat myself to on Fridays)
Dinner: Pita Pocket Philly Cheese-steaks & Chips (These are super yummy and work great to have the same week as the stir-fry because it uses the same kind of steak for both along with some of the same veggies)
Snacks: Not-So-Skinny-Chick Chocolate Muffin

Saturday
Breakfast: Cereal & a Banana (Classic!)
Lunch: Leftover Pita Pocket Philly & Chips
Dinner: BBQ Chicken Drumsticks, Loaded Mashed Potatoes & Grilled Corn on the Cob
Snacks: Orange Dream Pie

Sunday
Breakfast: Cereal & a Banana and a Yogurt cup. (I work a little later on Sundays and do a lot that morning so I have a bowl of cereal to get me going and a yogurt just before work)
Lunch: Leftover BBQ Chicken Drumsticks & Potatoes
Dinner: Hamburger Helper (You pick your flavor, Sundays we would normally cook a nice dinner but the following Monday is a holiday so we're cooking with the family and will save our nice meal for that!)
Snacks: Not-So-Skinny-Chick Chocolate Muffin
