The Pursuit of Health and Happiness: 21 Day Fix: Meal Prep and Week 1 Eating Plan

So I thought I would include my Week 1 meal plan along with some of my tips/tricks for meal planning.

Here is my Week 1 meal plan: The food is colour coded to represent each of the containers. Most of the plans I found online had a lot of fish and as I don't eat fish I had to eat more beef, chicken, turkey, and other sources of protein like greek yogurt and protein powder.

I do all of my meal prep on Sunday to prepare for the week. I try to think of two or three meals like I would like and then make a shopping list. I'm not going to lie, the first trip to the grocery store shocked me a little bit because of the price. I bought a lot of meat which up front looks like a lot of money but my meals averaged less than $4.00/meal.

This Sunday I prepped:
- 3 different homemade seasonings
- 2 grilled flank steaks (with 21 Day Fix Southwest Seasoning)
- 1 batch of crockpot mashed cauliflower (with garlic and rosemary)
- 1 pkg ground turkey (with homemade taco seasoning)
- 1 box of quinoa
- 2 diced chicken breasts (with 21 Day Fix Mediterranean Seasoning)
- 1 batch of homemade tortilla chips

My best advice for following the 21 Day Fix Nutrition guide is to 1) Be Creative, and 2) USE YOUR SEASONINGS. There are so many great recipes out there to make your own homemade seasoning and they all count as FREE in the nutrition guide. Flavour up those "bland" fruits and veggies and get eating right!
