Notes
Prep vegetables in bulk on Sunday for use throughout the week. Keep frozen lean proteins on hand for quick meal preparation. Drink water before and during meals to enhance satiety. This framework is flexible; adjust vegetable and grain ratios based on preference. Meals stay satisfying for 3-4 hours due to high protein content.
