I spent a lot of time at the office last week and was up early each morning preparing salads for my husband and I (four each, two with chicken and two with beef). I wanted to cut down on my daily preparation time this week, so I had a busy day today, food shopping and cooking most of the week's meals in advance (I like to make enough for dinner as well in case I end up being at work late). I marinated chicken to go on our salads (we will still be having two chicken salads a day) and did massive batches of stir-fry, so our fridge and freezer are chock-full of Gladware containers at the moment. Our meals will look something like this:
Meal 1 protein shake and nuts
Meal 2 protein and carb drinks at gym
Meal 3 beef, broccoli and carrot stir-fry, brown rice, piece of fruit
Meal 4 chicken salad, flax oil
Meal 5 beef, broccoli and carrot stir-fry, nuts, piece of fruit
Meal 6 chicken salad, olive oil
Meal 7 egg-white, cheese & vege omelette, fruit
We are going through 18 eggs a day at the moment (6 for me, 12 for Rob), and it was quite funny seeing the check-out chick's reaction when we put all the cartons in front of her. Had an email the other day saying that Safeway in Victoria will be reinstating Cutting Edge Egg White 950mL due to customer demand from the beginning of Feb, so am looking forward to that - will make life a little easier and hopefully give us a bit more room in the fridge!
Next weekend I will probably do a chilli or curry instead of a stir-fry. I think they will be a little easier to make in big batches as they only need to be simmered.
OK, need to get to bed now - lots to do tomorrow. Have a great week everyone!

Morning Charlotte, I am not so organised this week. But will do a massive cook up next weekend. I was wondering what the bulk egg whites were like. Might give them a go. Oh and I used Audacity to mix my music :o)
Have a great day
