What I eat in a day
Here is an idea of what I eat in a a day for fat loss tailored to my fitness goals . They are what I like to call them " simple but effective" meals , of course leaving room for " fun food" or cheat meals once in awhile because balance is key 🔑
Here are 10 tips that helped me :
1) focus on high-protein meals , ensure that every meal has some source of protein ( shrimp , beef , chicken , salmon etc. )
2) Aim to eat 3-5 times a day , every 2-3 hours - this KEY to speed up your metabolism .
3) Focus on getting enough water intake to flush out any toxins in your body , as well as helps you stay fuller ) 4) Move your body , go on a 30 minute jog or walk . Whatever fits your schedule .
4) " Fun foods" or cheat meals , you can have it in moderation . I like to have my cheat meal once a week on my leg/glute days or before my leg day. I also aim to eat my cheat meal around Noon but never before my leg workout always AFTER . If you eat your cheat meal before your workout , you will feel sluggish and you won't be able to fully exercise .
5) SEASON YOUR FOODS! your foods do not have to be boring or " simple " . Unless you are like me who is lazy and don't care for simple foods then go for it😂 but it can get boring after a while. Don't be afraid to season your foods but watch out for them calories .
6) ROMANTICIZE YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY, invest in cute gym attire or accessories . Do your hair , if you want to workout with a full on make up on do it, whatever helps you get to the gym 💪🏽🤍
7) Create a fun playlist to get you hyped ❣️
8) Cardio After weight trainings is KEY for weightloss/fat loss .
9) Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks . If you don't like water - get you a MIO and add flavor to your water .
10) Plan , Plan and Plan . This goes with your gym exercises for the week as well as your meals . Planning and routine will save you time and money 🤍 You don't have to meal prep for a week , start small - meal prep for three days then switch up your meals . #wellness #fatlosstips #transformationjourney #gym
When pursuing fat loss, maintaining a balanced diet is fundamental. Incorporating high-protein foods into every meal promotes muscle retention while enhancing metabolism. For example, shrimp, beef, chicken, and salmon are excellent sources of protein that not only provide satiety but also help build lean muscle. Eating 3 to 5 times a day can help regulate your metabolism, making it easier to burn calories efficiently. It's also essential to stay hydrated; water helps flush out toxins and reduces unnecessary snacking. If you find plain water unappealing, consider adding a splash of flavor with natural infusions or low-calorie additives like MIO. Physical activity complements nutrition in any fat loss journey. Whether it's a brisk 30-minute walk or a more vigorous workout, moving your body regularly is key. Cardio after weight training proves effective for maximizing fat burn. Remember to include cheat meals occasionally; having your favorite foods in moderation can reduce cravings and keep you motivated. Additionally, meal planning is vital for saving time and money. Start with planning meals for just three days, which allows for flexibility and reduces the hassle of cooking daily. Creating a motivating atmosphere can further aid consistency—invest in workout attire that makes you feel good and curate uplifting playlists to enhance your workout experience. By combining these strategies, you can create a sustainable routine that fits your lifestyle while supporting your fat loss goals.
