Hi loves, so like so many people on here, I'm trying to count calories and exercise. I have found that eating certain foods according to the activities that I will be doing for the day works best for me. So I try to match up carbs and proteins accordingly, though I'll admit I'm not too great at it. However, I'm running out of ideas and would like to change things up. Here's a quick break down of my schedule, any suggestions are certainly welcome.
Monday- I work as a ranch hand. Lots of protein for breakfast. Usually 2 eggs scrambled with turkey and some cheese. Lunch is whatever is served, and dinner is usually a decent healthy meal as I'm typically crazy hungry at the end of the day.
Tuesday thru Friday - Work 5am - 10pm. Two jobs both mostly sitting, though some standing in one place and general walking to and from jobs. Lately its been 2 clementine's by 7am, and apple at 10 am, a "dinner" type meal for lunch around 1pm, a banana and peanut butter around 4pm, and a salad around 7pm. Sometimes I throw in a few sticks of venison jerky for the extra protein.
Saturday is 9-5 at a job where I sit most of the day. So I try to take it easy on the calories and go more protein than carbs, and lots of crunchy raw veggies (as my job can be boring if I don't have any clients coming in.
Sunday is 12 - 4 and is my meal prep day.
I'd like to find new food ideas that are good energy foods that leave you feeling satisfied. Also, foods that can be prepped quickly or a few days in advance.
