Careful planning


What up people? Today I wanted to address the issue of meal planning. Not necessary nutritional timing, but simply making a plan to eat during the days weeks and months, yada, yada, yada. You want to start off by monitoring your self during one of your busy days and one of your lighter days. Notice how your body feels, wither your hungry, and when the hunger monster springs its well disguised ambush on you. Also note your energy levels during the day. Once you know the average times when you hit these walls that's when you can make a viable plan to combat them.

Big meals. On the weekend cook all of your food for the week. If not all then have a set meal that you can stand to eat almost everyday when on the road. You may not even have to prepare it, you can get by if you just devise a system where slapp'n it together in about six , or seven minutes is nothing. I started this about two months ago and seriously, it hardly seems like I'm dieting. I basically eat a variation of two meals, the first is a breakfast burrito type deal, the second being a burrito, burrito type deal, substituting eggs for a lean meat. Either chicken, beef or turkey. Turkey being the ideal seeing as though its the leanest choice. I begin by dicing up veggies ant the start of the week. Bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and such. Keeping those in a plastic container for storage. Now I've adopted grating my own cheese. If possible low fat cheese, but truth be told, I personally am not a fan of cutt'n corners on my cheese. I'll save a few calories somewhere else, better yet, I'll burn a couple more. I season and brown the meat, then I saute the veggies. In a separate pan I'll place a whole wheat tortilla over a glaze of olive oil, I then cover the surface of the tortilla with the cheese, place the veggies and meat in, the cheese melts the tortilla hardens and it actually becomes more of a taco then a burrito, but whatever, you get my drift. I dig it. But that's my system that's what works for me, you have to come up with a system that is efficient for you. I say efficient because most of you probably already have a system.....problem is, your system sucks. Where people fail in there diet is when there out in the world. The goal should be not to spend money on food when your not in the grocery store. Wise man once said, "the more you cook, the better you look". I really can't remember if I was the first wise man that said it, but dammit I'm say'n it now! It'll say you money you'll look Austin, I'll be great, everybody wins. So get you some rubber ware or tupper made or whatever there storing food in now, make a plan and eat better. Aight people, hope you have a Austin week, an well talk soon, gone.
