Donny, myself and four other couples went down to Texas to spend a weekend. It was a ton of fun, but we go back fairly late on Monday night. I didn’t have much time to meal prep, but I managed to throw together a little food to last the day!
I typically eat five small, clean eating meals per day, but this week it is more like 3 bigger meals and 2 more snack-like meals. I don’t mind this structure, but prefer to have 250-300 calorie meals spread out throughout the day. It is only one week, so I can manage!
Here is everything that I ate throughout the day. Check out yesterday’s Grocery Shopping & Meal Prep Ideas Week 39 post to see how easy this prep was. Don’t forget to sign up to receive additional tips, recipes and meal prep ideas! Plus, sign up now and you’ll receive a FREE weekly meal planner!
4:30am – Pre-workout
My day started by drinking one full liter of water. The first half I drink plain, then I use the second half to mix MusclePharm Assault, my pre-workout supplement for energy, endurance and focus.
Along with water I like to have a little something in my tummy before an early morning workout. We brought a few oranges back from Texas that we didn’t finish so I had one. It weighed roughly 80g.
6:45am – Meal #1:
Breakfast was a bowl of oatmeal. We don’t have a kitchen at the moment because we are remodeling. We DO have a microwave so I’ve been eating hot oats pretty much every morning!
I mixed 1/2 scoop MusclePharm Isolate protein (vanilla) with the cooked oats (1/3c pre-cooked). Then I added sliced banana and 3/4 Tbsp peanut butter. So simple, yet so yummy! I didn’t have enough protein for the day, so I had another full scoop of protein mixed with water.

9:30am – Meal #2:
My mid-morning meal was 4 defrosted mini frittatas. I made these several weeks ago and kept them in the freezer for when we didn’t have a kitchen! They came in VERY handy this week, since I didn’t have time to make anything. Read more about I made these mini frittatas here.

12:00pm – Meal #3:
Lunch for the day was 4oz cooked chicken and a side of rice and veggies. The rice-veggie mixture included 1/3c brown rice, 1/4c sweet corn, 1/4c cauliflower rice, 100g broccoli and 2Tbsp 505 Green Chile Sauce. Once I got to my grandma’s house I added 2Tbsp mild salsa to the rice mix and had some yellow mustard with the chicken.

3:45pm – Meal #4:
My afternoon meal was an Epic bar (Chicken Sriracha) and 1 serving of in shell pistachios (1.8oz). The Epic bars are pretty good. I’d never bought any, but found them at the airport and thought they’d make a good snack. They have 15g protein and no added sugars! These chicken ones are only 100 calories per bar too.

6:30pm – Meal #5:
For dinner I made tacos. I defrosted one lean hamburger patty in the microwave and crumbled it up into pieces. Then I combined 1/4c sweet corn, 25g cauliflower rice, 2Tbsp black beans & 2 Tbsp 505 Green Chile. I heated that for 1-2 minutes, then added the crumbled burger and heated it another 30 seconds. I spread 1oz mashed avocado on two white corn tortillas and added the meat-bean-veggie mix.
After both tacos were loaded I still had some filling, so I ate it with a spoon. These were so good! Simple yet healthy.

Well that was everything I ate throughout the day. I finished the day drinking one liter of water first thing, followed by 4 1/2 liters throughout the day.
