What is a healthy meal plan for long day?

I workout at 4:00 a.m. every morning and don’t get home from work until 6:30 p.m. Can anyone help me figure out a good and healthy meal plan that will keep me going all day?

Can you give a little more information.

How much time do you have for cooking?

Do you eat out? Take a lunch to work?

I’ll assume you are busy and have modest cooking skills.

Try baked beans for breakfast. There are several great varieties in a can or you could use your own recipe in a crockpot. This is an old tradition for busy Saturdays. Beans really stick to your ribs as the saying goes.

breakfast
Baked beans
orange slices or cantalope or grapefruit or banana

Morning snack
crunchy apple and or carrot

Take your Lunch?
Peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat bread.
can of V8 try the low sodium .
rasins or dried cranberries
Option 2 Grilled cheese on whole wheat.
V8
dried apples or apricots.

If you eat out limit fried foods.

Afternoon snack. Graham crackers and a glass of milk.
or Nuts and fruit

Dinner

Baked potato white or sweet easy on fat
(or Brown Rice )
choice of fish, chicken, most days
(Once a week lean beef. Once a week lean pork. )

Method of prepartion is very important. Baking, poaching, roasting and stewing are all much healthier than frying.

2 Serving of steamed vegetables …. your favorites
Large tossed salad with lots of bell peppers, red and green .
Add onion and cucumber and of course tomato

Spaghetti and Pizza with the trimmings are options 2 or three times a month.

These are just ideas to get you started. Check out my source for more information than you ever wanted on healthy foods.
