Prep tips for day 6
- ✓Portion the yogurt, fruit, and dry toppings into a container tonight so breakfast is grab-and-go.
- ✓Assemble the wrap in the morning and pack the fruit separately so nothing gets soggy by lunch.
- ✓Portion both snacks into grab-and-go containers after shopping — nuts, cheese, and cut vegetables hold for days.
This plan is set at about 1,550 calories a day. To eat less, drop the second snack and cut starch portions (oats, rice, quinoa, potato) by one-third. To eat more, add 1/2 cup of a whole grain or one extra ounce of protein to lunch and dinner. Protein and non-starchy vegetables stay the same at every level.
