Changing up my food plan for today because partner is going to make some oil-free vegan chili
soup
slaw
veggies
baked potatoes with chili
sweet potatoes

Actual:
1. :thumbsup: veggie/bean/sweet potato/corn soup
2. :thumbsup: grapes
3. :thumbsup: sweet potatoes, frozen cherries, slaw
4. :thumbsup: baked potato with chili and onion sauce

Ate a fair bit today, but stayed MWL compliant and didn't touch the million and one snacks that co-workers brought, except the grapes.

Plan for tomorrow:

baked potatoes
soup
steamed veggies

I've been prepping two lunches (or 3 some days) so that when the snack attack hits at work in the afternoon, I have plenty of food to grab instead. It means I kind of ate a lot the last couple days, but it was all MWL food and I didn't stuff myself or anything. It's working out as a plan. Better than being all "Oh, well, no food left. Pretzels it is!"

Plan for today:

baked potatoes
soup
steamed veggies
sweet potatoes
bean chili
beets
hot carrots
savory oats

Actual:

1. :thumbsup: savory oats, no-salt beets with pomegranate vinegar
2. :thumbsup: sweet potatoes, chili, hot carrots
3. :thumbsup: sweet potatoes, chili, beets with vinegar
4. :thumbsup: no-oil enchiladas
5. :thumbsup: big salad (greens, tomatoes, kidney beans, scalions, oil-free dressing)

that looks really good. Where did you get the divided plates? Seems like a good idea for managing portions.

Loving your simple meal plans. I'm going to model myself after you...I think I've said that before...but what wisdom, to keep it simple.
