Another weekend is coming to a close, which means meal prep for the week! This week meal prep was very important because my 1/2 marathon is Sunday! Eating right as much as possible this week will give me the fuel I need to run a great race. Preparing meals for the week is a great way to keep on track. Since I've started prepping for the week on Sunday, I've been making great progress. While meal prep is a lot when you first start, each week it gets easier and you'll get better at it! I was horrible at meal prep when I first started, now I can get everything cooked and cleaned in under an hour.
This week, I wanted a tasty meal for lunch so I made bison 'burgers' sans the bun and rice. Each burger is 1/4 lb and they were crazy easy to make. Ingredients 1 cup of brown rice (uncooked) 1 1/2 lbs of ground bison Garlic powder 2 cups of chicken broth Rice: Add 2 cups of chicken broth to a pot. Add 1 cup of brown rice. Heat on high and bring to a boil. Lower temperature and continue to boil. Cook for 35-45 minutes (or until the rice has absorbed the broth). Bison 'Burger': Divide bison into 1/4 lb burger. Sprinkle garlic powder on top and bottom of each burger. Cook for 6 minutes on medium heat - inside should be 160 degrees. That's it! My lunch may seem small but I eat about every 3 hours throughout the day. This week my meals are: Breakfast: 1 Large organic hard boiled egg 1 Banana Snack 1: 6 oz. low fat yogurt 1 cup lettuce 2 tablespoons of low fat zesty Italian dressing Lunch: 1/4 lb (weight uncooked) Bison 'Burgers' 1/2 cup cooked brown rice Snack 2: 2 tablespoons of organic chunky peanut butter 1-2 cups Celery Dinner: This meal depends on the day - usually an organic meat with a veggie side. I would love to hear from you! When do you prepare your meals? Do you eat the same the same thing each day for a week like I do?
