Making the week more manageable

Got a crazy week ahead?

Do your grocery shopping on Saturday, then spend a couple hours on Sunday preparing a bunch of things ahead—even if it's just chopping vegetables, rinsing greens for salads, and packaging up 27g portions of some of your go-to protein sources. Here are a few quick reference measurements that add up to 27g:

cottage cheese (1%) = just over 3/4c
cabot cheddar (75% fat free) = 3 oz.
fage plain greek yogurt (fat free) = 1 1/4c
ricotta (fat free) = 1 1/8c
feta (fat free) = just under 4oz. (that's a lotta feta! i usually do a little of this and alittle of another protein, like eggs)
egg beaters or egg whites = 1 1/4c
shrimp = 11 medium shrimp
scallops = 6 medium scallops
tuna = 4 oz filet
most white fish = 1 filet
tilapia = 1 1/2 filets

It's an awesome feeling when you can bang out all that prep work, then relax and enjoy your Sunday night before Monday's insanity hits!
