Watch me do all the prep work for 5 days to see what all I am eating on
my period! This weeks menu is Flexitarian again but with lots of fish
and nuts to pack in those omega 3s.
Note: This Meal plan is based on a 2,014 calorie a day Flexitarian Low
Cholesterol diet with an average burn of 1,116 calories a day through
activity level. Be sure to adjust your portion sizes according to your
own personal goals. Also note increased calorie allowance for menstruation.

With me being gone for over a month now I figured it was time for my
youtube comeback especially with my local gyms opening up again next
month! A lot has changed in one month, we will talk all about it in next
week's fit vlog, but for now I want to show you my awesome new meal
prepping technique I developed!
So what's on the menu for the next six days? I will be starting off my
mornings with a smoothie and a Japanese style rice bowl. For snacks I am
keeping it festive with a Mexican chips and salsa box. Lunch was
amazing and savory with a vegetarian beer brat and kraut! And if you
like Mexican food, you'll love this meal prep box, because it is vegan
burritos and potatoes for dinner!

Note: I apologize for not updating with the weight for last week but the batteries on my scale died so i had to charge them. my charger is over a decade old and only charges 2 AAA batteries at a time very slowly, My Scale takes 3 AAA batteries. They are all now charged though so next week I should have an accurate weight and body fat percent. This weeks weight was taken on the scale at my mothers house and if i remember right she adjusted it to be 10 lbs heavier although being that i am very close to my menses it could be accurate.
It has been a great week only cheated a couple times and stayed in my calorie limit.
