Remember when I promised to keep it real? Well, after 3 months the excitement and novelty of meal planning has worn off. I still want to do it and think about it all day long, but can’t keep myself focused enough to make a set list. I have like 3 partial lists around here somewhere. It’s driving me crazy because everything could fall apart quickly without our meal plans. I just get so distracted when I try to make them...like to stop and write this blog post. Hahahahaha!
Please send me advice on how you handle your meal planning time. When do you plan? What’s your system? How do you keep the kids occupied so you can stay focused? Do you plan each week or month? Any advice is appreciated.
We went to the nutritionist at Baptist a few years ago. She gave us some really good tips. She said for every lb you want to maintain, a woman must eat 11 calories and a man 12 calories. So if you want to weigh 200lbs for example, a woman must eat 2200 calories a day. For a man to weigh 250 he must eat, 3000 calories a day. The also said to use equal calories for breakfast and lunch if possible and don't forget an evening snack. Good luck!
