Meal Plan Samples

This is just something to go by for a week. You can add, change, or modify this to fit what you like.

Breakfasts (7) ( you can do these in any order you want)

Day one- Banana, peanut butter, piece of whole wheat toast
Day two- 3/4 cup of cheerios ( or another cereal but NOT sugary cereal) w/ 1/2 cup skim or 1% milk and a piece of fruit
Day three- 3 small (3 inch to 4 inch size) pancakes ( I use hungry jack light mix) and fruit. I dont use butter, i use I cant believe its not butter spray, and I dont use syrup.
Day four- 2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of turkey bacon, 1 half wheat english muffin ( or toast)
Day five-  Yoplait smoothie mix w/ 8 oz of skim or 1 percent milk
Day Six- 1 orange, 1 wheat english muffin, 2 tablespoons light cream cheese or a piece of cheese melted on the muffin
Day Seven- 1 Jimmy Dean D Light Sandwhich and a piece of fruit

Now for the cost break down of the entire breakfast menu:

Bananas- buy the medium sized bunch which is usually around .52-.60 a lb in MOST places. Divide that by how many are in the bunch- you get your per cost per banana. Usually 4-5 bananas on a bunch equals to 1.5 to 2 lbs ( if they are medium sized) so .20 a banana
Peanut butter- this is something you probably already have, and peanut butter is a good fat, but use it sparingly- so this should be pennies per serving. I only pay 1.00 per jar of peanut butter so your looking at around .8 cents a serving
1 Piece of Toast- i pay around 2.00 for a loaf of whole wheat bread with my coupons so under .10 cents a serving
Cheerios- got them for 1.00 a box so around .2-3 cents a serving if you go by the actual serving size
Hungry Jack- i buy the big box, I paid under 1.00 for the box, you can buy generic or WHAT YOU HAVE A COUPON FOR, and you are looking at .10 cents a serving or less depending on the cost
Fruit- depends on what you use- if you buy stuff like a mango , the ones here are 1.00 each for organic when on sale
I cant believe its not butter- cost me around 1.00 a bottle and a few squirts is a few cents
Eggs- right now a dozen are 1.52 for the medium or large size here so 2 would be around 20 cents if its more than 1.52 but still not bad
Turkey bacon- i got mine on sale for free after coupon lol- but you can buy any kind you like, turkey bacon is the better choice, but you can of course use real bacon, and depending on what you pay divide that by the number of pieces and you get a cost per serving
English muffin- i buy these by the sleeve and they are not more than 2.00 per sleeve , and come usually 8 to a package so around .25 cents
Yoplait smoothie- you can get these for around 1.50 to 2.00 with coupon at most walmarts. Or cheaper if they are on sale. These have everything you need but the milk in them.
Milk- we pay 3.00 a gallon for milk here for 1 percent. So depending on how much milk you actually use ( i use less than 8 oz usually) but around 30 to 50 cents a serving
Light cream cheese- you can buy the off brand or name brand or whatever works for you. I buy the mini's on sale and get them for 1.00 or the off brand on sale for 1.00 for a brick,so super cheap
Jimmy D Delights - come 4 to a box- i pay around 3.00 a box so .50 a serving

Under 10.00 for a WEEK of breakfasts. And a lot of this stuff will get you 2-3 weeks of breakfasts ( like the cream cheese, the delights and more)

Ill work on snack items next!
