This week I am implementing the 80/20 rule. With as much as we have eaten dinner out perhaps it is more like the 70/30 rule this week. The 80/20 Rule is something like this: 80 percent of the time your meals are clean eating, no processed, good for you foods, and 20 percent of the time you have the freedom to eat as you please. I typically eat 6 meals a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner and three snacks. That's 42 meals a week. If you are following the 80/20 rule, that would mean that I could relax for 8 meals out of my week. I'm really only telling you this so I don't feel guilty about putting Cheeseburger Pie on the meal plan. No, no honestly, no one can be at 100% all the time, and you are probably going to fall off the "diet" wagon if you feel like you have to be. When I go to the 20% (probably more like 10% for me) I do still consider my portion sizes and I make sure the following meals are back in the 80%.
We are trying lots of new recipes this week.
