very beneficial. I used it everyday while on bikini prep and sometimes still do.

Thanks for the tips! I just started meal prepping a couple months ago and this helps a lot!

Good, I’m happy to hear that!

If I am to prepare the same meals for my husband, how much chicken and potatoes do I need for him? XO

That’s a great question Staci! My husband eats one chicken breast, probably 8 ounces of potato and 1 1/2 cup of veggies.

I don’t think I will ever get bored of saying this, you inspire me! Your commitment to healthy living is contagious! Will you incorporate carbs like pasta, rice, bread in your eating plan now?

Thank you so much! I still don’t really eat bread, but pasta and rice will be showing up. Next week, I’m planning to show you a favorite shrimp and pasta dish. 🙂

Great post! My favorite salad with grilled chicken is a southwestern salad…lettuce, black beans, corn, avocado, tomatoes, cucumber, and chicken, with balsamic vinegar dressing.

That sounds really good Olivia! I will be trying that. I do something similar with ground turkey, but need to try with chicken!

Thanks for the tips! You mentioned that you and your husband eat the same things and I”m curious as to what you prepare for your son? Does he eat a version of the same meal?

Oh gosh, I wish! I try to get him to taste our meals but he refuses. He usually eats a PB&J sandwich, fruit, and chip/pretzels/goldfish, granola bar with milk. Sometimes, he’ll eat some cheese too or yogurt.

I wrote a long post and it disappeared, so I’m sorry if this shows up twice! 🙂 I am so glad I found your blog. I found you about halfway through your prep and have loved your honest posts. I have been thinking about doing my first bikini competition next year. I’m in Houston too so I was thinking I’d contact your coach first about using him. I have a question on your food. Do you know how many calories you were eating before your contest prep began and how many you ate during? I talked to one coach before who said I was drastically under eating and needed to get my daily maintenance up to at least 1500 before I tried to train for competition. I have a similar petite build as you. 5 foot nothing 🙂 and 106 lbs. that’s why I thought I’d ask you.

I only got it once Rachel. 🙂 That’s so cool about your contest- go for it!! I’d love for you to work with my coach- he is the best in town. I don’t know how many calories I was eating before and after. On my “to do” list is to put my contest prep meals into My Fitness Pal to see what the calories totaled and what the breakdown of carbs, protein, fat is. You have reminded me to do that! Thank you! Please keep in touch and let me know how it goes!

Thanks for the tips! Meal prep is a big thing that helps me eat healthy. With that being said I need to do it more. haha

Thanks for the post!! I’ve loved following your journey and have looked forward to seeing your plans post-competition. I’ve finally realized that meal repetition is key (at least for me) in eating healthy/clean meals throughout the week. I felt so much pressure to change up lunch and dinner everyday that meal planning and grocery shopping became the most dreaded item on my to-do list. This of course meant that I stopped doing it after a while! haha! Repetition is the way to go! Thanks for all the helpful info on portions and weights.

My hubby and I do meal prep like this as well. It makes grabbing lunch for work super easy. Chicken and green beans are our go to healthy staple. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your journey! I’ve really enjoyed seeing your transformation, both physical and psychological. As a Christian I have always struggled with the idea of competing, although it is still something I am considering. I also appreciate how raw you have been with the whole journey. It takes a lot to admit that you feel upset about not winning, bravo lady!

Any tips for breakfast meal prep?

So inspiring. I just had my 2nd child almost 4 months ago and I am ready to get my body back. With 2 kids under 2, meal prep may be the best thing for me right about now 🙂

So you put the green beans in frozen? If so, are they tasty and done after one minute in the microwave ? I have a hard time making frozen green beans taste good ,,,,

Question: Are you unlimited on the greens amount? I did my meals up JUST like this yesterday for the next few days and was just curious. Can I have as much greens as I want?

I just posted my meal preparation today! Definitely a must-do!

Thanks so much for the tips Megan and great reciipes you recently posted. It is DEFINITELY easier when the hubby is on board with your eating habits 🙂 Our meals have pretty boring during the week, but we get more wiggle room on the weekends.

I have always weighed and measured my food prior to cooking. Which way is it you are supposed to, before or after cooking? This is something I have struggled to find the answer to. Thanks for your help.
