Getting Started

I don't want this to be stressful for anyone, don't sweat the small stuff. If you are used to eating cereal in the morning, find a Clean Cereal and milk. If you are busy, it is perfectly fine to have a salad for breakfast, yogurt w/fruit for lunch, and oatmeal for dinner. I often have dinner leftovers for breakfast. Thinking ahead, and making simple things e.g meatballs, chicken, muffins, in bulk so that they are readily available when you need them will really help. Here are some ideas to get you started:

Breakfast

Oatmeal (not quick oats) with flax seed and fruit

Quinoa porridge w/maple syrup and almonds

Chopped Banana w/yogurt and nuts

Eggs w/tomatoes and avocado

Cottage Cheese and Fruit


Snacks

Yoghurt w/nuts and raisins

Apple slices with nut butter

Carrots and hummus

Banana Wrap

Pizza Bites


Lunch

Salsa Chicken  make a large batch in advance, use for lunches over several days

Sandwich Wraps

Meatballs with Fruit (make a large batch of turkey meatballs to use over several days)

Whole wheat Pasta w/chicken and tomatoes (substitute with Chickpeas for a vegetarian option)

Cheese and tomato sandwiches
 

Dinner

 Slow Cooker Chicken Cassoulet

Any lean meat, with Veggies w/whole wheat pasta, brown or wild rice

Turkey -Black Bean Soft Tacos

Asian Baked Tofu  

Chicken or Tuna Salad in a wrap


Remember:

Keep it Clean (whole foods)

Keep it Lean (Poultry, Seafood, only the leanest cuts of Beef - Bison and lamb are okay)

Keep it Simple (Minimal ingredients on labels, nothing that you can't pronounce)
