I eat one meal a day as an intermittent faster, so my one meal is important to me! So here is my intermittent fasting meal plan for February 21-February 27, 2022!
This is post contains a sample intermittent fasting meal plan. Eat what works for you, I hope this illustrates, all foods work!
Meal plan goes out the window on the road!
This week isn’t a normal week for us. We’re only home 3 of the 7 nights, so I am only planning 3 dinners at home. The rest of the nights we will be relying on restaurants and cafeterias to feed us! We are traveling 600 miles to see my daughter’s specialist. She is having surgery (prayers appreciated!)
This could stress some out on diets – how do I count my macros or calories purchasing food from a hospital cafeteria?! That would be difficult, wouldn’t it?! Thankfully, with intermittent fasting I can still maintain my fasting schedule and simply eat what’s available as the time comes. No added stress (which is such a blessing in already stressful times).
Meals I did plan
Last week I planned a spicy salami stromboli, but we never got to it. So we moved it to this week. This is a frequent occurrence – moving meals from one week to the next. I ended up getting carry out pizza instead of homemade stromboli…. what can I say, sometimes easy wins!
A new meal this week was sesame teriyaki chicken with garlic sesame noodles. I bought an ALDI find sauce to make the chicken… you can see me shopping for it in this week’s grocery haul.
Finally, on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 we are having an epic Taco Twos-Day!! 02/22/2022 will go down in history as a delicious taco Tuesday!
Here are all the recipes for the week:
- Garlic Sesame Noodles
- Teryaki Sauce – just pan frying breast and smothering in the sauce
- Taco Beef
- Stromboli
Snacks are king this week!
Since we are away from home this week, and driving over 1,200 miles, we picked up a bunch of snacks!
Elsie, my daughter that is having surgery, had three requests; orange gatorade, blueberry muffins and finally dried strawberries! Thank you ALDI for having all three of her requests in stock.
My personal favorite snack ALDI offers is their pickle popcorn. So good and it’s an ALDI find, which means I can’t always purchase it. Because it’s not always available, I HAD TO buy the last three on the shelf this week. It was the only sane choice.
Final snack to highlight are these coconut clusters. I’ve bought something similar in the past from Fresh Thyme and they were SO good! Because of that, I thought it’d be the perfect snack to bring on the road and for our stay in Baltimore.
Always buying fun at ALDI, too!
You might remember last week I shared ALDI had my favorite ALDI find back in stock.
Well look what they had this week! A miniature, child size version (called the Cuddle Crew Jr.). I had to buy it for my son and OMG doesn’t he look so cute!! We love these ALDI Hoodie Blanket combos… so cozy! Highly recommend. For size reference, my son is a large 5 year old and can easily wear this for many more years!
Input always welcome on my meal plan!
I shop weekly for groceries; mainly at ALDI. I would love to get your family favorites to consider as I build next week’s meal plan.
