Smorgasbord Lunches + Week 1 P90X Meal Plan

May 19, 2014 by Katie

Organized meals are overrated.

Sandwiches are all fine and dandy, but I’ve come to appreciate the magic of a bunch of random snacks thrown together for one smorgasbord meal. Snack food is delicious anyways, so why not make an entire meal of it?

Everything has gotten a clean and healthy makeover for me with P90X, so the above is my lunch today. I’ll have a few snacks in the time leading up to and following lunch, so it should hold me over, especially with all the extra water I’m drinking.

So far, eating super healthy hasn’t been too difficult. I’m trying to make it realistic for us by not stressing about every single ingredient, but I am still making it as healthy as possible. This is basically always my mindset for cooking, except now we’re not eating meals based around pasta, which is usually what I make when I don’t know what else to do. So that part has been a bit challenging, but there’s lots of good, healthy recipes swirling around the internet – just gotta keep looking.

Pinterest, you are my best friend.

Since it can be challenging to come up with healthy meals day after day, I figured I’d start sharing my meal plans after each week. While we are participating in P90X and its nutrition plan, I’m going for more of a…P90X-inspired meal plan. Since it’s phase 1 right now, that means high protein, so our meals are guided by that.

One of last week’s meals: Lemon and dill tilapia, edamame, and brown rice pilaf.

Side note: I didn’t think I could ever be one of those people who has protein shakes for breakfast, but I’ve come to really love them. It’s fun messing with protein shake concoctions for a delicious, indulgent-tasting breakfast. Plus, they keep you full for hours. It’s pretty wonderful on busy days. On that note, stay tuned for a special protein shake recipe I’ll be posting tomorrow…oh, and a giveaway. Smile

Keep reading to find our meals and snacks for the first week of P90X.
