Steal My Six Meals A Day Diet Plan
|
In creating a six meals a day diet plan that works for me it needed to be super simple - both in terms of the food eaten and the times I eat the food.
I work from 8.30 in the morning (leaving home around 8.15am) till around 6pm (home at 6.15-6.30pm) so firstly I needed to work out a way to fit the six meals around a typical working day otherwise I’d never stick to it.
Also, with only a 30 minute a day lunch break I didn’t have time to prepare posh lunches at lunchtime so I’d have to be able to buy lunch (ideally, to save time in my hectic life) or make it in advance, take it with me and need little or no preparation before eating.
Firstly I knew I could have breakfast before work for one of my six meals each day. Again I needed to be quick, simple and healthy because I’m definitely *not* a morning person!
When working this will typically be bran flakes or oatmeal with dried fruit and skim milk added. Total time = 10 minutes to prepare and eat at around 8am just before leaving the house.
Midmorning and mid afternoon I need something even quicker - no more than 2-3 minutes to prepare and eat the meal because I’m meant to be working then so for ease I tend to down a meal replacement drink or bar.
My preference is for EAS products because I’ve used them for years and know how well they have worked for me and others. My favorite flavor is strawberry though occasionally I’ll choose chocolate instead though I normally find this a little too rich for my tastes.
For lunch I will typically buy a sandwich on brown bread - such as ham, egg, salmon or tuna and treat myself to an orange juice into the bargain.
Pretty much as soon as I arrive home from work I will have a quick “snack” - such as a fat-free yogurt or piece of fruit plus a protein drink, or another bowl of cereal, or a jacket potato with tuna and fat-free mayonnaise on top.
Lastly in the evening - at around 9-9.30pm I’ll have a “proper” meal consisting of pasta, vegetables and some lean meat such as chicken, turkey, swordfish, tuna, mackerel, crab, lobster or a range of other seafoods. Infact, for variety I eat virtually any seafood and try to buy something different on a regular basis.
Whilst not the most exciting of six meals a day plans it fits into my hectic schedule and keeps me eating healthily.
On days off I will massively increase the number of “normal” meals I have, pulling healthy diet recipes from a variety of sources to add vitamins, minerals and interest to my diet.
Here, again, is a typical daily six meals a day diet plan I’ve found works well for my purposes…
8am - cereal, fruit and skim milk or eggs on brown toast
10.30am - meal replacement drink
1pm - egg sandwich and an orange juice
4pm - meal replacement drink
7pm - fat-free yogurt or fruit, plus a protein shake or glass of milk. Sandwich, pitta or tortilla with ham, egg etc.
9pm - pasta, lean meat and vegetables
