Plan. Plan.. Plan… This is something that will creep up on you in a heartbeat. Eating healthy isn’t cheap, but if you plan, you can save some money. But more than just money, it helps you to lose weight.

We live in a fast pace world, but we have to plan. In order to avoid fast food, and horrible food choices, writing down a menu for the week will help guide you.

Example:

Menu	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday
Breakfast	Omeletw/ strawberries	Grits w/ egg betters	Shakeology	Pancakes w/ turkey smoke sausage	Shakeology
Lunch	Subway sandwich	Mash Potatoes w/ chicken beast	Chicken salad sandwich	Pasta Jambalaya	Chicken Salad w/ crackers
Dinner	Mash potatoes, corn w/ grilled chicken breast	Red beans w/ rice	Pasta jambalaya w/ French bread	Grilled chicken salad	Crawfish w/ potatoes and corn
Snacks	Fruit cupsGrapesYogurt	YogurtStrawberriesJell-O	GrapesAlmond barYogurt	100 calorie cookiesStrawberriesKiwi	JelloGrapesPopcorn Smoothie
Notes:	Make extra dinner for lunch tomorrow	Make chicken salad	Make extra Pasta	Prewash fruit and put in snack bags

***Portion Control is VERY important**

Writing down your menu will also help when you go grocery shopping. I use to go to Wal-Mart everyday and get what I needed for dinner. That adds up! I would get what I need plus things that I saw that I might WANT! Make a grocery list and go by it .

This is what i did in the beginning too when i was trying to lose weight. It REALLY HELPS. Also you can try to count the calories you take in and see how and where you can improve your diet.

  Yes, Many people dont realize how many calories they take in until they write it down. This allow you to know how many more or less calories.
