With better weather only a few months away, so many people have been contacting me about losing weight, what I eat on a daily basis, toning up, and everywhere in between. I'm not a certified nutritionist or personal trainer, so I really don't like telling people exactly what they need to eat. What works for me may not work for you because our bodies are all unique and process food in different ways. I never claim that my workout regimen or meal plans work, but I am all about sharing anything and everything that has been beneficial for me.
With that being said, this is a pretty basic work day lineup. I start the morning with green tea and lemon wedges and drink it while I get ready because 5:30am is just too early to eat. Then for breaky I usually have eggs/spinach/banana or overnight oat jars. This one is rolled oats, peach Greek yogurt, frozen mango, chia, hemp hearts, and goji berries. (My mouth is literally watering typing this out) OOIAJ or overnight oats in a jar are my favorite because there are endless, delicious combinations and they are easy to take on the go. Moving on, I always need a snack before lunch and that's usually some sort of fruit and nut spread. Today is sliced apples with cinnamon and almond butter. Studies show that cinnamon helps boost your metabolism, so I tend to put that and cayenne on anything I can. Lunch is usually a wrap, whatever soup or roast I made that week, chicken/veggies/quinoa, half an avocado/tuna, or today's; chicken Apple sausages/peppers/avocado. I usually work out after I eat lunch, so my snack between then and dinner is almonds/trail mix and a protein shake.
Wow this was long. Sorry guys! But in the end, I don't count calories, I count nutrients. Whole foods make your body happy and I know the way my body looks and feels directly affects my mood. Who doesn't want to be in a great mood?
