Skinny Girl's Quest for Muscle
One Week Worth of Healthy Meals

Updated: 8/20/2009

In my last post, I challenged myself to create a menu plan for 1 full week. Good news--challenge met.

I tried to stick with non-processed foods but threw in an easy meal (canned vegetarian chili) on Sunday evening that I can swap for another day during the week if I run into a time constraint--well, and I really like vegetarian chili. It tastes like bad food, without being so bad. Perhaps if I make it through the week without needing to swap in the easy meal, I'll be motivated enough on Sunday to make homemade chili instead.

My rules were to include a pre and post workout on lifting days (Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday). I also tried to pack in half the day's calories in the first half of the day in attempt to fuel my day, not my sleep. I also targeted about 113 grams of protein per day (see previous post about protein.)

Here are the menus:

Monday


Tuesday


Wednesday


Thursday


Friday


Saturday

Now, with my shopping list in hand, I'm off to the gym for my Sunday workout followed by a quick trip to the grocery store on my way home.

Until Next time, go do something athletic!
