This is week 16 of my journey to lose 100 lbs in 2026. I meal prep for the days I work to keep in a caloric deficit and meet my nutrition goals. My meals focus on reducing fat and increasing fiber where possible. This is week is:

Breakfast: A banana. 100kcal, 1g protein, 0g fat, 25g carbs, 3g fiber.

Lunch: Mediterranean pasta salad with marinated chicken breast. 1065kcal, 78g protein, 33g fat, 117g carbs, 19g fiber.

Dinner: Black beans and rice with roasted broccoli and avocado. 640kcal, 35g protein, 18g fat, 119g carbs, 43g fiber.

Total macros for each day: 1805kcal, 115g protein, 52g fat, 261g carbs, 65g fiber.

Nothing too interesting for this week but it was nice to have a pasta salad again. The marinated chicken is a recipe you can do a ton of different variations on for the meal you are having. Down 3 lbs this week catching up from last for 32 lbs lost so far. Recipes below!
