Ooh, what a yummy looking food day!

As for precooking food, I have tried to precook items to use later or freeze meals ahead, and as much as I want to make it work it has ALWAYS seemed like extra work for me. About the only thing I will precook is spiral ham or a whole turkey, then divide it up and freeze it for lunch meat (fairly lean and low calorie, as well as about 80% cheaper than normal lunchmeat and NOT processed!). Other than that, I just make things from scratch every day.

Ooooo, look at that haul! Yum!!! Luckily, I can still work a little dark chocolate into my way of eating.

I love having pre-prepped items around. We tend to keep chopped veggies on hand for salad, and we usually have enough leftover grilled meat for lunch the next day. Before my husband (our family chef) got used to my eating much smaller portions, we ended up stockpiling quite a lot of chopped grilled meat. I would use it for lunches and ate a lot of soup for breakfast (meat, broth, and veggies) when wrangling down my morning blood glucose levels. Sometimes I make some oatbran+flax the night before, to take to work the next day and eat after working out.

Ooh, I’ll be on the lookout for those 100 calorie bars!

I cook in my crockpot and portion it out into smaller servings and freeze. I almost always have something in the fridge ready to heat-and-eat. For now it’s a chicken, salsa, and chili bean concoction. Yummy!

Wow – you hit the chocolate jackpot!!

I love baking extra potatoes and then using them for chili baked potatoes for lunches – and in the summer I typically grill up extra chicken breasts for quick salads.

I make a few things in advance. I like to roast a chicken and use the meat in several meals. I always cook extra brown rice for use later.

I cannot drink McDonald’s coffee. I’ve tried but I just don’t like it. I call them crappes. lol!

Do I precook? Oh YES. For breakfasts I make a big pot of oats or millet or quinoa and each morning reheat with some butter and cinnamon. Way better than packaged instant oatmeal and much healthier.

Oooh, all that yummy chocolate! I would have to be very careful with that…one false move and it would be OVER for me, lol!!!

Glad you found a new coffee shop – I’m still bummed about the other one!

I always always always precook. I have to. If I don’t feed my youngest and get her to bed by 6:30 she’ll fall asleep in her food. (not exaggerating. lots of pics for proof). And since I don’t get home from work until 5:30, its pre-cooked food or PB&J.

Oooh, I love the idea of mixing protein powder with cream cheese! Steal that idea for sure

Isn’t that weird how some workouts fall together perfectly and others just feel random and thrown together? Oh wait, that’s because most of mine are

McDonalds coffee is actually my favourite of the drive-thru coffees available. It’s much better than Tim Horton’s which is like Canada’s version of Dunkin Donuts that everyone is OBSESSED with.
