What I ate today:high protein, gluten & dairy free
You can really tell what kind of day I’m having by whether or not we’re using paper plates 😂 Today came out to around 2,000 calories and 130grams of protein.
I decided to start tracking macros again this year but with a focus on cycle syncing (which I’ve never personally done before and I’m excited to try!)
I've been on a journey to balance my nutrition by focusing on high-protein and allergen-friendly foods, specifically avoiding gluten and dairy. Achieving 130 grams of protein within a 2,000 calorie target feels empowering and supports my active lifestyle well. Recently, I started incorporating cycle syncing into my macro tracking, which adjusts dietary intake based on hormonal cycles to enhance energy levels and overall wellbeing. Though new to cycle syncing, I’m excited by how it personalizes nutrition and aligns with natural body rhythms. In practice, I aim for nutrient-dense foods like lean meats, legumes, nuts, and plenty of vegetables that fit my gluten and dairy restrictions. This approach not only keeps me full and satisfied but also helps manage inflammation and digestive comfort. Using paper plates sometimes reflects my busy, mom-life routines, yet it doesn’t diminish the focus on quality meals. Tracking macros has taught me to be mindful of portions and nutrient balance, which contributes greatly to sustained energy throughout the day. For anyone interested in combining macro tracking with cycle syncing, start simple by noting your energy shifts across your cycle and adjusting protein, carbs, and fats accordingly. This practice may enhance mood, performance, and recovery and turns nutrition into a tailored, rather than rigid, system. Ultimately, high-protein, gluten and dairy-free eating with cycle syncing is about listening to your body’s needs and optimizing health in a sustainable, personalized way.
