Macro Meal Ideas

This post is really for all my Faster Way friends.  You may want to skip on if you aren't doing this program.  I've had a lot of people asking "what are you eating" or "give us ideas on food" so I'm going to give a few ideas of what I'm doing on the different macro days and I would LOVE to hear yours! Let's share and help each other!

I will say that this program really is working so well for me.  I have tried Weight Watchers, Whole 30, Keto, calorie counting and Metabolic Research and nothing has worked as well for me.  I have already lost 7 lbs in just a week and a half and I'm NOT starving! There is going to be a new group open up for July 15 so if you are thinking about it - you will have a chance to sign up! It really is great - they tell you how to eat but there is a lot of freedom in it and then they give you workouts for every day and I HATE working out but it's doable!

I'm working on some ideas for the weekend.  I want to try shrimp tacos with corn tortillas, grilled shrimp and corn and red potatoes (like a low country boil but grilled), and of course grilled chicken and veggies and maybe a big salad.  I'm obsessed with grilling everything right now.

The main thing I've learned is planning my day.  Every morning (even when I was at church camp) - I sit down and plan out what I'm going to eat that day.  I usually know what I will make for dinner and put that in first and then what I have for lunch and then fill in with fruit or snacks according to what macros I need.
