  • Join me for an EPIC MEAL PREP of breakfasts, lunches, dinner kits, and snacks for my husband and I! I give points for all three programs and also share the link to recipes. You don't need to be on a weight-loss program to follow my meal preps! Meal planning and prepping is critical for me on my weight loss journey. Losing weight is difficult without having my meals prepared because it's too easy to just grab things.

    CHICKEN FRIED RICE 💙3 | 💜3 | 💚5
    UPDATE! I ended up adding more veggies, so I doubled the amount!
    Makes 6 servings
    1-1/4 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces, seasoned with chicken seasoning
    2 cups cooked rice (cooked, cooled)
    3 eggs
    3-4 cups frozen vegetables of choice
    Onion or shallot
    Bell pepper
    3 Tbsp soy sauce
    Dash of sesame seed oil
    Spray a wok or pan with olive oil spray.
    Cook chicken until cooked through.
    Set chicken on a plate.
    Add all vegetables to pan. Saute until no longer firm.
    Create a small area to cook the eggs, add eggs
    Add rice and chicken, mix together
    Add soy sauce and sesame seed oil.
    Mix well.

    CREAM CHEESE/BROCCOLI HASSELBACK CHICKEN 💙4 | 💜4 | 💚8
    MAKES 2
    2 Chicken breasts (6 oz each)
    2 oz cream cheese (1/3 less fat), softened
    Broccoli
    Green Onion
    14-28 grams Velveeta shreds
    Cut slits in chicken.
    Chop broccoli and cook in microwave for 2 minutes.
    Stir together broccoli, cream cheese, and green onion.
    Stuff into slits on chicken.
    Add seasonings of choice.
    Cook in air fryer, 360 degrees for 25 minutes (my chicken breasts were thick). You could easily bake this in the oven - 375 to 400 degrees for about 30 minutes, depending on thickness of your chicken.
    Add 14 to 28 grams Velveeta shreds during last 5 minutes.

    Thank you for such great videos, this has helped me stay on track. Even my hubby loves the meals and I love the simplicity of pulling it out heating it up. Less eating out cause I don’t feel like cooking. Great variety too, I don’t feel like it’s dieting.

    I was curious about meal prepping for 1 such as breakfast, lunches, and snacks since my kids are in school during those times. My girls, 13 and 17, are soo excited for my dinners and love eating more veggies! They were raised this way so it is all they've ever known. I just get in a rut for myself and often don't even eat. Being in nursing school, I KNOW that's not healthy and I need to prep so this doesn't happen. I just get depressed when they aren't home. 😥 I am on MyWW Blue. I LOVE your videos and thank you for sharing!! You always do an incredible job!

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Před 3 lety

      Thank you so much, Michelle!! You could always scale back the recipe a little instead of making six as well. That way if you skipped a day or something got moved around, you'd still be good. When I do mine, I do three for my husband and three for me, and I almost always don't eat my breakfast or lunch at least one day so it gets bumped to another. That's great your girls like their veggies!! Try to keep yourself occupied when they aren't home. When you plan your meals, also plan your days for the times you will be there without them. Plan a walk, a good book, something for YOU!! :)

    Just made the pumpkin pancake bake and needed to say it is my absolute FAVORITE breakfast and since I LOVE breakfast, this is saying a lot! I served it with turkey sausage and blueberries and of course topped it with sugar free syrup and good Lord, DELICIOUS! No more crying over not being able to go to my favorite cafe for breakfast because I can do this at home. SO good!!

I honestly think I spend as much time trying to find music than I do with actually editing! I just scroll through the music clips until one sounds good. LOL

This is just what works for me, but like you say, just cutting up fruit and doubling a breakfast is definitely meal prepping!! I did end up adding more vegetables to my lunch today.

I got right back on track after Daytona, but then we had a little cookout on Monday, so I did eat some salad that day, but I don't think it was too bad.

    What cha goin’ do with that leftover pumpkin in that can, Kristi? Overnight pumpkin oats?? It makes me crazy to use only a partial can because I have good intentions to use it up but then I never do. And that makes me sad.

I have a master list of all the weights of my pots, pans, baking dishes and bowls in one of my cupboards so whatever I cook in I know how much it weighs. Takes the extra step out of pouring it into a bowl.

      Hi Marilyn! I, myself, have not tried freezing them. However, I do know someone who does freeze them and she says they freeze well. She freezes them individually and then takes one piece out the night before she eats it. You could also cut the recipe in half as well. :)

    Wish I had refrigerator space to hold what you have but I also need to start small like you said. Question why do you use velveeta cheese? Can't wait to try the recipes. Thank you.

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Před 3 lety +1

      Yes, start small is best! I just have a normal sized refrigerator. I just clean it out good on Saturdays to make room for Sundays. :) Velveeta was always just a personal choice and was my favorite. It has fewer points in it than most cheeses. However, it's probably the most processed of them all too, unfortunately. I have recently realized that I was eating way too much cheese and it seemed to start with Velveeta. So, over the past almost two weeks, I have not had any Velveeta to see if I can tame my cheese addiction. :)

    You can use hand sanitizer to get the permanent marker off. 😊

    Do you use almond milk because the points are less or you just prefer taste to milk. Great video! Thanks for taking the time for us 😊Joann

      @PlanningUsHealthy  Před 3 lety

      Hi there! I'm really not much of a milk drinker, so I just use the almond milk because it's lower in points than milk. There are some recipes that I will use regular milk in though.

    Hi Kristi! Meal Prep was on point for this week! I do have a question on the Pumpkin pancake bake. Is it 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar free syrup? That’s what it shows on the website. Your video skipped when it came to the measurements of the syrup. I would love to try it in my meal prep this coming week. Please help 🙏🏾

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi there! The one on my website is for 1/4 cup of the Maple Grove Farms kind and that adds a point, which makes it the points on the website. But in this video, I actually weighed out 49 ml of the Mrs. Butterworths kind and saved a point - (49 ml is 0 points). But it really depends on how much syrup you like on yours.

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Před 3 lety +1

      I'm actually glad you mentioned that. I think I'm going to change it on my website for just the pumpkin bake without the syrup. Then I can add something saying add "x" amount of syrup for an additional point or something like that. I can see how it could be confusing. Thanks again! :)

    Do you always portion your meats before your freeze them in a certain weight? Like are all the chicken breasts 6 oz? The pork chops 5 oz? Also wondering how you get 4 pts for the pudding dessert/snack. When I put all those ingredients in it comes out as 5 on blue

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Před 3 lety

      Hi Kelsi! Yes, for the most part, my meats are pre-packaged in 5 or 6-oz pieces. I either buy them that way or when I do my big Sam's Club haul, I portion and package everything. It takes some time, but it's so worth it. I have a video showing that here: czcams.com/video/XNKgG8No_nM/video.html And for the dessert/snack, I count 2 points for the pudding cup and then I use 1 point worth of fat-free Cool Whip (23 grams) and 1 point worth of PB2 (13 grams). Sometimes different brands are higher points or sometimes if you put it all in as a recipe, it ups it a point for some reason. I didn't actually build this in the recipe builder, but just counted each item individually. Hope that helps. :)

    I think I missed something in the chicken fried rice. Mine turned out in the recipe builder to be 2 pt per 1/6. The only thing that I put in was zero points except the rice and it was 12 points. What did I miss?

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Před 3 lety +1

      Hi Lisa! I think it depends on the rice you use. I used the Minute Rice brown rice cups and those showed 14 points for all of it. Plus I estimate 1 tsp of the sesame seed oil which was a point. So, yours may very well be just 2 points! :)

    I apologize if you’ve addressed this before, but do you use the dinner prep bags once and then toss them? I see you write on them and wondered if you were able to wipe it off, but tonight you showed that you wrote over the points values on the salmon kits so I’m guessing you can’t wipe the writing off.

    • @PlanningUsHealthy
      @PlanningUsHealthy  Před 3 lety

      Hi Brenda! I reuse the bags. However, I do use permanent marker on them, so to get that off, it takes a little scrubbing with soap and water. I actually didn't notice I had the points wrong until I was filming the ending. So, since I had everything in the bag and couldn't wash it, I just wrote over it. I've actually never tried a dry erase marker on them, but I bet that would work great!

      It depends what it is. Sometimes I just put everything on a paper plate and heat it. If I'm using my glass containers, I almost always reheat in those. But with the plastic ones, it just depends if it's something that can easily be put on a paper plate or not.
