A Week of Realistic Dinners

5 nights of home cooked meals, a frozen pizza & a date night = We had a delicious week of dinners!☺️ Hopefully this can give some meal ideas/inspiration to you if you suffer from “What’s for Dinner” Decision Fatigue like I do sometimes…😭 Also, can we talk about how good of a deal Outback has for $14.99??? This pic was after I had already eaten from the leftovers!!!😍 Wishing you all have the best week this week!!! #dinner #dinnerideas #whatiatethisweek #easydinnerideas #dinnerinspiration

Dinners I ate last week to maintain
Here are some examples of dinners I ate in a week to show that you CAN indulge in the foods you love, just everything in moderation. My goal when creating dinner (and I’m not perfect) is to aim for high protein. I’m a pescatarian so my protein mostly comes from eggs, salmon, shrimp etc.
