What did you eat today?

This is my daily meal plan for today (1/13/0213). I am trying to gain some muscle weight after losing weight unintentionally last year due to stress and digestive health issues. I thought it would be fun to share and see what others are eating too!

B - Brown rice wrap with five hard-boiled egg whites, 1 cup blackberries and strawberries, Greek yogurt with vanilla whey and almond butter, and... coffee. Always gotta have that.

S - Apple with "just peanuts" peanut butter, no-salt-added cottage cheese.

L - Salad with spinach, grilled chicken breast, cubed baked sweet potato, half an avocado, red bell peppers, and pistachios.

S - Cashew Coconut Quest bar, Fage 0%, raw almonds.

D - Stir-fry with broccoli, bell peppers, scallions, chicken breast, with olive oil, sesame oil, a bit of cayenne pepper and soy sauce, and rice vinegar; topped with chopped peanuts and served on quinoa.

S - Frozen bananas blended with vanilla whey, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and almond milk.

Such a yummy day. Dinner was amazing. I used to hate quinoa, but I've really grown to love it. I am trying out lots of new meal ideas this week and I'm so glad to be switching things up. I had been relying on the same old meals for months. Probably one of the reasons for my plateau. Blegh.

My goal this year (besides just gaining weight, obviously) is actually building strength. I am focusing on really getting in good quality nutrition and eating LOTS, and I am hoping that I'll be able to meet with a trainer soon to work on building a fitness plan as well.
