There are likely cheaper alternatives if you poke around on Amazon!

Sure, no problem.

I start my day out with 3 eggs and a nice big homemade shake. (Keep in mind I'm bulking and pretty active so trying to hit ~3300-3500 calories per day and don't mind if I go over some days. I'll have to cut after I'm done.).

Shake ingredients are:

• 1 cup frozen berries
  
• 3 cup milk
  
• 1 banana
  
• 2 scoops ON mocha cappuccino protein powder
  
• 2 tbsp peanut butter
  
• 1/2-3/4 cup frozen chopped kale
  
• 1/2-3/4 cup frozen chopped spinach
  
  Blend that up and eat with some scrambled eggs and bam, ~1400 calorie breakfast with ~90-100g protein (according to my fitness pal)
  
  For lunch I ate a large bowl (2 ladels full, essentially) of my meal prep chili. I actually don't have the macros for this on hand, however the recipe was:
  
  
• 1lb 93/7 ground beef
  
• 1lb ground turkey
  
• 1 each orange, red, green peppers
  
• 2 yellow onion
  
• 2 cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
  
• 2 cans tomato paste
  
• 1 can pinto beans
  
• 1 can red chili beans
  
  Split into 6 meals so I'm not quite sure the macros, however dinner made up for that.
  
  Dinner: Meal prep chicken (so easy and not very time consuming
  
  
• 1 chicken breast (14oz)
  
• 1/3 of orange, red, yellow, and green peppers
  
• 1/4 large sweet onion
  
• 1/2 cup black beans
  
• 1/2 cup pinto beans
  
• 1 cup brown rice
  
  1,060 calories with 95g protein, 14g fat, 135g carbs.
  
  I do a lot of meal prepping on sundays using these containers from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TBMW6LO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  You can cut down some calories by including less rice in dinner, less tomato paste in the chili, and subbing 2%, skim, or water for whole milk in the shake. I use whole milk because bulking, but if you use 2%, skim, or water youll lose out on a bit of casein protein.
  
  Edit: formatting

I would recommend you order from amazon in bulk. Even walmart is too pricy. http://www.amazon.com/Meal-Prep-Containers-Microwavable-Dishwasher/dp/B00TBMW6LO

Go with plastic and have a plate with you then heat up the food in the plate. Glass ones are too pricy.

I like Meal Prep containers. They are the same containers you get with My Fit Foods (which was the only reason I ever bought those overpriced meals). They are a little more expensive than regular Tupperware but they last much longer, seal tight, and microwave just fine.

Yeah, I freeze everything in these. You sacrifice a little bit of taste but I haven't had problems with anything I've made so far. Also, it may be broscience but I think drinking a protein shake after any exercise (or even no exercise) made me less hungry.

I've been using these. They last a while too. You'll get a 50% off coupon with the containers to use on your next purchase as well.

I'm 6'3, 205 lbs.

A normal day for me looks like this:

Breakfast (7:15am):
1 egg+6 egg whites scrambled +
1 cup (dry) oatmeal+
1 cup berries

Meal 1 (10:30am):
1 cup sweet potato (Check local deli markets for carb options. I spend a little extra for premade carbs sometimes because of taste and ease. This week I picked up a weird blend of rice/nuts/vegetables. It's really good.) +
6 oz protein (chicken/fish/red meat/pork) +
1 cup green vegetables (I like to roast mine)

Meal 2 (1:00pm)
8 oz protein (chicken/fish/red meat/pork) +
1 cup green vegetables

Meal 3 (3:30)
Protien bar or protein shake +
Handful of nuts

Dinner:
Meal 2 (6:30pm or post workout)
8 oz protein (chicken/fish/red meat/pork) +
1 cup green vegetables


Times fluctuate a bit depending on how I feel, but eating is crucial to losing weight and building muscle.

You should pick up some of these, they are cheap, reusable, and make the whole process a lot easier.

Also a food scale will help with consistency. This is the one I use:

Hope this helps.
