Week 8 Nutrition Goals

Your goals for Week 8:

1. Keep doing AWESOME on grocery shopping and cooking from truck! Continue working on cooking at least 1 meal/day in truck and getting your grocery shopping in. Use the recipe videos, snack list, and sample menu and grocery list

Keep in mind that many of the ingredients you have bought in previous weeks will rollover to use in the next week's menu

2. Aim to make non-starchy veggies the largest portion of your plate for 2 meals or 1 meal & 1 snack.

Click for Easy "no recipe" meal ideas if you do not like the weekly menu. Remember to follow the Plate Method where you aim for the largest portion on your plate to be low calorie, non-starchy veggies! No portioning or measuring required because making those veggies the largest portion will naturally reduce the portions you eat of calorie containing foods

Frozen meals are a good thing to keep on hand for a no-brainer meal. However, the freezer section has loads of misleading marketing on meals trying to convince you that they are nutritious.

So read on for recommendations on brands to choose without breaking your calorie bank and/or what to check for on the nutrition label
