first week

Also, if you are short on time, or work all day in the office, the best way to preserve a healthy diet with a packed schedule is to plan ahead.
Here are a few tips to keep you eating a healthy nutritious diet during those long, tiring days.
1. Pack a healthy breakfast the night before, that way when you wake up, all you have to do is grab and go. Try to choose simple foods from two or more food groups to give you a balanced breakfast. Examples might include: whole wheat bread, pita, fresh fruit and vegetables, low fat cheeses and yogurts.
2. It is recommended to make a power-packed lunch and store it in a freezer- microwavable container ready for the week ahead. Some healthy options might include Whole Wheat Pasta Salad, or Brown rice and Vegetables, Grilled Chicken and Boiled Vegetables.
3. Stock up on nourishing, on-the-go foods like apples and oranges, snack-size low-fat yogurt, raw nuts, raisins and other dried fruit.

I need help the menu is fine but with my schedule the options it has given me just isn’t practical can anyone tell me what the carb/protien/veggie ratio needs to be so I can plan my meals effectively for my family, I was hoping that this program would tell me exactly how much of what I can eat at each meal in that sense so I could plan meals easier and also what about when i am out on the go and have to pick something up? how do i know what to eat and what not to eat?
