What a Full Day of eating looks like

It’s nothing fancy or something you’d see at a 5 restaurant. But that’s the beauty of it.

It can be as simple as you’d like and as easy as you’d like.

As a nutrition coach I see so many people overcomplicate their meals and nutrition to the point of quitting because they feel it’s “too hard” or “bored” eating the same things.

My biggest problem was not eating enough. I for years I thought skipping meals and hardly eating and eliminating certain foods and living by restriction was what you had to do to get the body you wanted. OH HOW I WAS WRONG.

Food is fuel; Food is not the enemy. In fact if we understand it and its sources it can be used to our advantage to actually help increase our results, especially when we know exactly what our body needs and in what amounts it needs.

And we can love a live without restrictions.

Yes! It’s true!

Here is a day of eating while I’m in a fat loss phase (calorie deficit)

-Wake up I drink WATER 17-18oz

-Protein coffee with my daily nutrients

-Post Workout protein shake

-Breakfast multi grain French toast, sugar free syrup, blueberries, eggs with spinach,

-Snack Fresh Pineapple and cottage cheese

-Lunch Chicken salad stuffed bell peppers, fresh strawberries

-Dinner Veggie Pasta with marinara, ground turkey and cheese

-Night time treat Cadbury eggs YUM and nope not off limits.

-Night time cocktail, gut health, heart health, muscle health, fiber

The only foods that are off limits……… Are the food I don’t like 🤢

... Read moreUnderstanding your nutrition doesn’t need to be complicated. Many people struggle with meal planning, often believing they have to eat bland foods or skip meals to achieve their weight loss goals. In reality, food is not the enemy; instead, it serves as fuel for your body. Eating a well-balanced diet can enhance your results and make your journey enjoyable. In this article, I explore a typical day of meals during my fat loss phase, focusing on delicious yet simple foods that provide essential nutrients without restricting joy from eating. From a protein-packed breakfast of multigrain French toast to a delightful dinner featuring veggie pasta with turkey, every meal is crafted to satisfy while keeping calories in check. I emphasize the importance of hydration, starting the day with optimal water intake, and incorporating tasty snacks like fresh pineapple with cottage cheese, ensuring you never feel deprived. By letting go of restrictive diets and focusing on what your body needs, you can learn to enjoy each meal rather than dread it. And remember, treat items like Cadbury eggs can still have a place in your eating plan, showing that balance is key to long-term success. Embrace this approach to redefine your relationship with food and discover how enjoyable healthy eating can truly be.
