example of weekly menu

[susie2susie]

Hi Cathe and everyone,

I've tried to eat clean (along with working out 5 - 6 times/wk) but not very successful. So I'm still trying to improve my diet. I try to eat 6 meals a day but it's a tough job Lately I've added protein drinks to my snacks (once or twice a day) because I was so sick of egg whites!!!!

Anyway, I wonder where I can find good example of weekly or even daily menu to use as a guide line.

Thanks a million!
Susie

Not Cathe here, hope you don't mind.

Susie,

I eat 5 small meals a day. With that I have protein, carbs and a small amount of fat. That's it! Easy to remember and easy to do. The hardest part is planing it when you need to go out and about. I have one protein shake a day, and that is after a workout. The shake includes protein, carbs and a small amount of fat.

Examples:

Chicken, turkey or beef grilled, tossed in a salad with copped veggies and a nice vinaigrette.

Chicken, turkey or beef grilled and wrapped in a whole wheat soft tortilla with chopped peppers and tomatoes, black beans, a little shredded cheese and or avocado.

Cottage cheese and chopped veggies or fruit.

Whey protein shake with soy milk and fruit.

Hope that helps,

Janie

The idea is to die young as late as possible

Just fyi, Cathe just answered a similar question about her own eating guidelines for her and her family. Here's the link:
