I love these too! Would love to see one with your weekend eats too! Are your meals as structured and balanced on the weekends too? And do you eat snacks between these meals or do they keep you full enough that you don’t need them?
Cait says
Hi Keri – I’m so glad you like it! I can definitely do one including weekend meals. In terms of how I eat on the weekends, I think it totally depends on the weekend (i.e. whether I’m traveling, if I’m home or out and about a lot, etc.) but I would say I generally eat similarly.
I do eat snacks most days! Usually one in between lunch and dinner but again it totally depends on my hunger level. Sometimes I’m hungry for them and other times not. I’m happy to include them going forward!
