Meal Plans

Hi friends,

Many people have asked for specific details on what I've been eating to lose weight. So... I'll start keeping track of some of my meals here (the healthy ones). I'll just add them as I eat new things.

FYI, I eat a lot of repeat meals and items... so this might be boring, haha :) But it might give you some ideas for some new meals, which is what I'm hoping.

The numbers next to each item are the calories for the portion I ate.
