What I’m eating this week to stay in a calorie def

Some things to keep in mind 💡

This works for me because it’s minimal prep and I’m a busy trainer in NYC who doesn’t like to cook or have time to🤭

I measure portion sizes based on MY macro needs, which is why I didn’t say the portion sizes in the pics. This is just for INSPO. If you need help figuring out your macros, lmk 🙂‍↕️

we could eat the same foods, everyday and still look completely different. Just want to give some meal inspo and show you that eating in a deficit doesn’t have to be hard, fancy or complicated 🥺

Love seeing minimal prep meals for busy days! Cottage cheese and blackberries is my go-to snack too.
