BF has varied a bit lately but normally I have 4oz egg white, 1oz each of zucchini, red bell pepper, spinach banana pepeprs. Salsa, and 1/2 whole English muffin. Sometimes I have turkey bacon with it. The past few days I've had greek yogurt, blueberries, strawberries and granola.
AM I have a after workout shake usually 1scoop vanilla isolate whey, 8-10 oz unsweetened almond milk, a dash of cinnamon and ice blended.
Lunch mostly dark green salad with lots of veggies and 4-6oz of lean protein, NO DRESSING or I'll have a turkey burger on whole wheat English muffin with spinach, onion, and tomato.
Snack is BB Shakeology with unsweetened almond milk and ice
Dinner varies. I try to get my protein in or it can vary 4-8 oz. If I have any carbs left from my macros I'll have 4 oz sweet potato or some kind of healthy complex carb. about 1/2 my plate is loaded with low cal veggies like zucchini.
Also My marcos is 50/30/20 protein/carb/fat
I weigh EVERYTHING out on a digital scale and drink about 80-120 ounces of water a day.0 -
I normally eat 6 times a day. I'm not under any illusion that it effects weight loss but it works for me because I like to eat regularly and prefer smaller meals.
Meal 1- one egg and two whites omelette with veggies and cheese. A slice of wheat bread with natural peanut butter and banana. Coffee.
Meal 2- homemade protein cookies or Greek yoghurt
Meal 3- Chicken or kangaroo with veggies, some form of sauce, sometimes an egg
Meal 4- rice cakes with peanut butter and banana, occasionally cereal or beef jerky of I'm out and about
Meal 5- varies could be home made curry, pitta pizzas, turkey burgers, seafood etc
Meal 6- a curly wurly, and ice cream bar or other dessert item
How do you make protein cookies
I used to make raw protein brownies for after the gym.. I can pass on the recipe if you wish?
Please, Can I get that recipe too0 -
Lots of great diet plans happening here. Does anyone else do a cheat day?
Usually, on a saturday, ill eat a healthy breakfast, then a semi healthy lunch (something like Leon meatballs and brown rice with a raw coleslaw) then in the evening treat myself to a naughty dinner. Pizza, or some ribs and pulled pork. That sort of thing, followed by a proper pudding.
I have a cheat meal once a week. I love rib, wings and chicken fried steaks but haven't had them in a long time (those kind are maybe once a month if that) Other then those bad ones I might add a dessert0 -
I eat a couple of times a day too because I've noticed that small snacks in between my meals help me make it through the day without being ravenously hungry. So..
For Breakfast (normally around 11, I CANNOT eat the second I get up):
One egg and one egg white, or two eggs if I'm really hungry on a piece of whole wheat bread with Frank's on top and a banana.
OR Quaker oatmeal made with water with that banana and a squeeze of honey or a tablespoon of peanut butter.
Post gym and shower snack:
Fage 0% Greek Yogurt with sliced strawberries and blueberries and some honey granola.
Lunch:
A lean protein (turkey burger, 1/2 a chicken breast, tilapia fillet, salmon fillet, or flank steak) a serving of quinoa, brown rice, or whole wheat pasta, generally a half cup, a steamed veggie, and two cups of romaine lettuce with 1/2 tsp of olive oil and a tsp of balsamic vinegar.
I work afternoons (3-11) so I generally eat the above lunch and then the following at work- my "work snack":
16, which is a serving, of wheat thins and two frigo light string cheeses. Generally the stressors of my job get to me and I'm known to have a square of Lindt dark chocolate with sea salt at this point also.
Dinner:
Same as lunch. I tend to prep my food 4-5 days at a time so I will make a big variety to last me with different combinations and then eat one for lunch and one for dinner. I generally don't eat the salad with my dinner though.
Aaaand if I'm starving, I eat half a can of tuna on wheat bread with either mustard, franks, and sometimes a tablespoon of greek yogurt and some dill depending on my mood.
I'm a fatty. But honestly this way I am not starving all day and I'm well under my calories. Check it out, its open.0 -
My breakfast is always the same:
1/2 cup dry oats
1 scoop protein powder
1 banana
1 cup water
some ice
Blended...I prefer to drink my breakfast.
Lunch is usually very varied...it will include some kind of lean protein, chicken/tuna/beef, etc...and some light carbs (veggies or crackers etc..)
Dinner is all over the place and too varied to even list, but it can be anything from pizza to take out to fast food to homemade anything under the sun....whatever it is, it's usually 6-900 calories.0 -
My average on the go day!
Breakfast: Oatmeal + berries
Lunch: Chicken, brown rice & veggies
Dinner: Some kind of lean meat and veggies, sometimes we'll have rice or rice pasta or a baked potato
Snacks: an orange or half a grapefruit at some point.
Post workout: usually half a mango or a full mango, depends what I feel like.
I keep it simple! Generally though, I try to get a simple carb, complex carb and a protein in each meal, and my snacks are usually fruit or cut up veggies depends what I feel like. On days off, I tend to play around the kitchen so I may have an omelette or make clean pancakes, and for lunches I might make clean egg salad or clean chicken salad sandwiches in lettuce, so basically I keep it simple but I spice things up.0 -
Breakfast - none. I am a night owl, thus never up.
Lunch - none. Tend to have a decaff and few glasses of water then off to workout.
Afternoon snacks - Either a seed bar, a hard boiled egg, roasted chickpeas, nuts, sweet and salt popcorn, rice cakes or a tub of cottage cheese.
Dinner - chicken breast, fish, veggie burger, beans or steak(once a month) with sweet potato/baked potato, rice or carrot and swede mash, houmous or avocado and at least a pound of vegetables.
Before bed - 81% dark chocolate, hard boiled duck egg, apple, pear or berries or sometimes two of those, raw carrot and houmous and fat free or full fat plain Greek yoghurt.0 -
6-8 servings of fruit and vegetables, good fats and 70-100g of protein.
I always have oatmeal in the morning. everyday. oatmeal is the bomb!0
