Meal Prep help!

If you aren't training in the morning, there's no need for breakfast. I promise you wont starve to death in 12 hours.

And you arent actually hungry, your brain is just signaling for you to eat again. Try drinking something or just fighting it off and it'll be gone in 30 minutes or so.

That’s my problem. Every night after the kids get to bed and I can finally relax on the couch I get super hungry. Usually around 10:00. Doesn’t matter what I had for dinner. It’s just a trigger.

Meal prepping is the best. I just don’t have the time to do it on the weekends.

I have a contribution though!

Burrito bowls are a go to for me and my wife. Ground meat, sliced bell peppers, a can of black beans, and a can of corn all cooked down and serve over jasmine rice.

What’s y’all’s go to lunch meals? Something preferably cold. I usually go with turkey sandwich, hamburger, or a chicken wrap.

Just scramble some eggs with spinach and whatever meat you have around the house and wrap it in a tortilla

And you calculate that to 40g of protein?

If you aren't working out in the morning, there is no need for breakfast.

"Most important meal of the day" is an outdated trope

These are one serving but you could make more. They will keep a few days.

Overnight Oats
3/4 c rolled oats
1 tbsp chia seeds
1 scoop protein (I use a whey isolate for this)
3/4-1 c unsweetened almond or coconut milk
Mix, let sir overnight in fridge. Top with nut butter, berries, flaxseed, etc

Protein Pancakes
1/2 c quick oats
1 scoop protein (I use a whey/casein blend like Quest or PEScience)
1/2 c egg whites
1/2 tsp baking powder
Mix. Add a little water if batter is too thick. Cook over medium heat. Too hot and they will be hockey pucks.

Cottage cheese pancakes
1/2 c cottage cheese
1/2 banana
4 egg whites (1/2 c of liquid egg whites) OR 2 eggs
1/2 c oats
1 tsp vanilla or other flavoring
Blend everything in a blender and cook like you would pancakes.

Protein crepes
1/4 c liquid egg whites
1 scoop protein
2 tbsp unsweetened almond or coconut milk or water
Heat a nonstick skillet lightly greased with coconut oil or cooking spray over medium low. Whisk ingredients. Add to skillet, swirl to cover bottom of the pan. Turn heat to low. Cover the skillet. Cook until you can flip (doesn't take long, a few minutes). Finish that side (about a minute or two). Fold. Top or fill with nut butter and berries. Could also do a Greek yogurt filling.
