Quick & Easy

I provide childcare 3-4 days a week. I also have 4 kids under 10, one being a baby, and I provide respite care for my nephew. So meals generally need to be quick & easy, especially since there are 6 of them on Body for Life. Here are a few of my favorites....Meal 1:8 am.Weight Control oatmeal (Quaker-only 1 gram sugar but is so yummy) mixed with water & throw in microwave for 1 min, add 2 T milk, sometimes I add a 10 small pieces of walnuts, and an egg white (sometimes 1 t salsa)on the side. Meal 2: 11 am. String cheese & apple. Meal 3: 1:30 pm. Sandwich thin, 1 tsp light mayo, 6-8 thin slices deli turkey, 1 tbsp of mozzarella cheese (add a small side salad or cucumbers to get my 2 veggies), Meal 4: 4 pm. Protein bar (I like Atkins or EAS mint chocolate or peanut butter. Meal 5: 6:30 pm Large spinach or romaine or green leaf salad, 1 T light rasberry/poppyseed dressing, 1-2 chicken tenderloins, 1 T sunflower seeds, 1-2 small oranges. Meal 6: 9 pm. Grrek light yogurt or regular light yogurt mixed with small portion of cottage cheese.
