Meal Planning: Everybody hates it, but successful people do it. And, quite honestly, after a while it just gets to the point of plugging in your choices into the grid below. This is a sample week - each day is about 1000 calories and 100 grams of protein. The dishes are real "people food" so you can serve them to your family. No supplements, all available at your local grocery... The recipes are all over the internet. A quick search will find these and many many more that you will love - IF you will just taste them.
This is a SAMPLE.. use it as an example and fill it with the foods you prefer
