No matter how hard you try, there will always be days when preparing three meals from scratch just isn’t feasible. But if you are proactive and resourceful, you’ll find that it’s fairly easy to follow the Physique 57 rules for healthy eating wherever you are. Many of the dishes on our meal plan can be re-created using the standard offerings at any restaurant or take-out venue. Just keep our eating guidelines in mind when you order: Avoid unhealthy processed and allergenic foods, steer clear of the calorie culprits
here
, and skip most grains and dairy, loading up instead on lean protein, greens, vegetables, and fruits.

To help you approximate the meal plan as closely as possible when dining out or grabbing food on the go, we’ve created a simple formula for every meal that you can use to help you choose the right foods in the proper portions. We’ve also come up with a list of healthy options for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and desserts—all Physique 57 friendly, and no cooking required!

Breakfast
=
1 serving whole grains or dairy + 1 serving fruit + 1 serving lean protein

Instant organic rolled oats (buy the packets and make them with hot water from Starbucks or your office coffee machine), with 1 banana or 1 cup fruit and 1 handful raw almonds.

Spinach omelet with fruit on the side.

2 hard-boiled eggs with 1 banana or 1 cup other fruit.

1 cup fruit with ¼ cup whole-milk Greek yogurt and 1 handful almonds.

Girl-on-the-Go Tips

When eating out, watch your portions: Most restaurants will give you three or four eggs in an omelet and two cups of cooked oatmeal, so eat half of whatever they serve
.

Stay clear of refined grains and carbohydrates: No toast, muffins, bagels, or the like
.

Lunch
=
3 servings greens + 1 serving lean protein + 1 additional serving vegetables

A big salad with either grilled chicken or fish, 4 slices deli turkey, 1 can (6 ounces) wild salmon, or 1 hard-boiled egg on top and lots of veggies (you can always ask the chef to hold any unhealthy ingredients like cheese, bacon, or croutons).

Turkey or veggie burger on a bed of greens or with a side salad.

Hummus and vegetable plate with side salad.

A vegetable, broth-based soup (never cream) with grilled chicken or fish and a side salad.

Taco salad with lettuce, salsa, and grilled chicken, fish, or black beans—just order it without the taco shell, sour cream, and cheese.
