Meal Prepping? My Diet for a Healthy Lifestyle Change

Wesley and I decided to make things easier on ourselves and start prepping at least two meals and snacks a day for four days out of the week at a time. So from now on, this is what my average diet is going to look like. We definitely wont be eating like this all the time. I won't be able to handle it. On top of that, I like to make new things and have a few randoms every now and then. So, here is what my food diary would look like:

Breakfast:

Great Value Bran Flakes Cereal(3/4cup)- 0.5g Fat, 23g Carbs, 3g Protein, 90 Calories
2% Milk(1/2cup)- 2.4g Fat, 5.7g Carbs, 4g Protein, 61 Calories
2 Fried Eggs- 28.2g Fat, 0.8g Carbs, 25.1g Protein, 184 Calories
Banana- 0.4g Fat, 27g Carbs, 1.3g Protein, 105 Calories
Green Smothie:
Spinach(2cups)- 0.2g Fat, 2.2g Carbs, 1.7g Protein, 14 Calories
Frozen Mixed Fruit(1/2cup)- 0g Fat, 8g Carbs, 0.5g Protein, 35 Calories
Orange Juice(Maybe 2oz?)- 0g Fat, 7.8g Carbs, 0.5g Protein, 34 Calories

I don't prep my breakfasts. Sometimes I like to have a fruit other than bananas or maybe not even cereal. I sometimes like to have avocado on whole wheat toast. 

Snack:

-After Workout: Pure Protein Bar (Small) Chocolate Deluxe: 4.5g Fat, 17gCarbs, 20g Protein, 180 Calories

-After Class (No workout day): Luna Bar Lemon Zest: 5g Fat, 27g Carbs, 9g Protein, 180 Calories

Zucchini & Carrot Noodle Salad:
Zucchini- 0.4g Fat, 6.6g Carbs, 2.4g Protein, 31 Calories
Carrot- 0.2g Fat, 5.8g Carbs, 0.6g Protein, 25 Calories
Kraft Green Goddess Dressing- To be honest I use such a tiny amount of it, I don't even count it.

I don't workout on school days. I do a lot of walking around campus and after class I tend to want to binge so I allow myself to eat a Luna Bar instead. (Before this lifestyle change I would go to the food court at my university and buy anything I wanted. Junky junky food. The Luna bar makes me feel like I'm getting junk, but not really. Also, it has the same amount of calories as my after workout protein bars! So it works out nicely:D )

I use a Julienne peeler that I found on ebay for 99 cents to make noodles out of zucchini and carrots. They make a quick and easy salad. Plus, the dressing I use I only need a tiny bit of for flavor. Super easy and healthy way to shove in more veggies!

Lunch:

Brown Rice(1cup)- 1.7g Fat, 44.4g Carbs, 5g Protein, 215 Calories

Tilapia Fillet(1 Fillet or 4oz)- 2.5g Fat, 0g Carbs, 20g Protein, 100 Calories

Broccoli(2cups)- 1.4g Fat, 12.1g Carbs, 10.3g Protein, 62 Calories

Every week this prepped lunch and dinner meal will change. We will always have some kind of meat, veggie, and rice or potatoes.

Snack:

Zucchini & Carrot Noodle Salad:
Zucchini- 0.4g Fat, 6.6g Carbs, 2.4g Protein, 31 Calories
Carrot- 0.2g Fat, 5.8g Carbs, 0.6g Protein, 25 Calories
Kraft Green Goddess Dressing

Dinner:

Brown Rice(1cup)- 1.7g Fat, 44.4g Carbs, 5g Protein, 215 Calories

Chicken Breast(1small or 4oz)- 2g Fat, 0g Carbs, 24g Protein,120 Calories

Broccoli(2cups)- 1.4g Fat, 12.1g Carbs, 10.3g Protein, 62 Calories

I always season with Mrs. Dash Salt Free seasonings! I would diiieeee without seasonings!

This totals me at 1589 Calories (If I'm aiming for 1600 I just go ahead and guess that the extra 11 are what I use in dressing:P Nothing is ever exact. This just gives me a rough idea of how much exactly I'm eating.)

Protein is 28.2% of this diet, Carbs are 49.1%, and Fat is 22.7%.

Again, I don't like to eat the same exact thing every day. I switch things out and sometimes I even have a cheat meal. I absolutely do not think there is ANY way to sustain a healthy diet if you have to constantly keep track. I just like to keep a rough estimate of my diet to keep me on the right track while I'm trying to lose weight. I generally like to stay between 1200 and 1800 calories a day.
