Sunday Food Prep, and today's 1400 calorie meal plan

Saturday was a rest day (except for the hour of awesome fun zumba!) spent scouring the malls for shoes for my dresses at The Arnold. Success! Now I just have to figure out the accessories. Sunday was Back/Biceps/Abs plus another 30 minute cardio session. Afterwards I did my grocery shopping then all my food prep.

Here's what I prepped this week:

Protein: grilled chicken breast, baked tilapia, roasted pork tenderloin, hard boiled eggs.
Complex Carbs (grain): brown rice, oatmeal
Complex Carbs (veggies/fruit):  broccoli, green beans, asparagus, snow-peas & tomatoes, black beans w/pico de gallo (homemade), sliced raw peppers, sliced raw cucumbers; grapefruit, apples, pear-apples
Fat: coconut oil, EVOO, ground flax seed

Today's cooler is lean & mean :-) Logging in with 1390 calories (including dinner - not pictured)), and an on-the-nose ratio balance of 37% protein, 33% carb, 30% fat. Right where I need to be.

Here's what you see...

Breakfast -   Oatmeal w/protein powder, ground flax, cinnamon plus half a grapefruit. 
Snack 1 - 2 hard boiled eggs, 2 hard boiled egg whites & an apple  
Lunch -   3 oz Chicken breast, 1/3 cup brown rice, 1 cups steamed green beans  and the 2nd half of my grapefruit.  
Snack 2 - 3 oz grilled chicken breast, 1.5 cup sliced raw red/orange/yellow peppers  
Dinner   (not pictured) - 4 ounces pork tenderloin, 2 cups steamed broccoli w/ coconut oil, 1 cup sliced cucumber in vinegar.

***NOTE: Coolers for Bill  - Chelle's breakfast burrito,  2 hard boiled eggs, apple, string cheese, and a healthier granola bar (has 12g sugar, but it's all natural). 

Today begins my twice-a-day's cardio, final prep for the Arnold. This morning I got in 30 minutes of intervals, and tonight I have Total Body Conditioning class (1hr) followed by 30 minutes of steady state cardio. So far, my knee/quad is feeling great. A little stiff this morning in both knees, but that's the arthritis (and rainy, cold weekend).

Happy Monday!
