2200. I am starting a lean bulk in a week or 2 and will be eating around 2400. I'm hoping to not need to do much of a cut after...

for actual donuts, Lamars. Old fashioned sour cream with chocolate drizzle to be exact. But I had a pumpkin macchiato at dunkin a few days ago and I am in love.

I love chocolate sea salt and blueberry!

1 or 2 whole eggs scrambled or fried with a couple servings of liquid egg whites (for extra protein) and precooked roasted veggies. top with avocado and pico and a dollop of 0% plain greek yogurt (more protein). Or the same combo of eggs and whites mixed into oats with whatever toppings sound good - sweet and savory both…

I bring food with me all day everyday. Rx bars (I love the sea salt chocolate and the blueberry), individual packs of hummus with some veggies, tuna (I like mine with just some hot sauce and maybe a hard boiled egg), nuts, individual cottage cheese (I eat this or yogurt first due to lack of good refrigeration - I have an…

spinach snap peas carrots avocado red pepper yellow pepper onion mushrooms cauliflower kale blueberries cherries tomatoes jalapeños cucumber apple

smoothie with half a banana, vega chocolate post workout protein, powdered peanut butter, almond milk, and spinach. Then I snacked on a bag of salad dipped in hot sauce. Lots of food, little calories, good amount of protein.

I get a chicken salad for around 400. Lettuce, chicken (or steak depending on what I'm hungry for), a half scoop of brown rice, fajita veggies, green salsa and chips and guac on the side. I add about a third of the guac to my salad and crumble about 5 chips over the top. DELICIOUS and super filling. If I have a bit more…

I like red wine, vodka with lacroix, tequila with soda water and lime, or champagne. I rarely have more than 2 drinks though.

Salsa, hot sauce, pickled veggie juice, and squeezed lemon are all super low to no calorie ways that I top my salads. If I have room for it, I'll add plain greek yogurt or cottage cheese or avocado for a more creamy type dressing in combination with any of the low/no calorie options.

I make a soup or a salad for lunch every week. This weeks soup is about 10 cups of veggies (I used bok choy, onion, carrots, swiss chard, tomato, and some broccoli slaw - I was using up whatever was going to go bad in my fridge), 5 spicy chicken italian sausage links, veggie stock, italian seasoning, tomato sauce, and salt…

Sometimes I make my oatmeal with egg whites to get more protein. I can't really tell the difference in taste but I do stay full for MUCH longer as well as have an easier time hitting my macros

I have been using califia better half (a coconut/almond creamer). It adds just a bit of creaminess. I also will add cinnamon or vanilla extract. I drink my 2 cups of morning coffee black but I add the cream to my afternoon coffee or tea

I often have a slice of really grainy bread with about half a tbs of nut butter and some berries with my evening coffee or tea. I also really like making a little mix of berries, almonds, and dark chocolate chips. Or I peel and separate a clementine and dip the pieces into some melted dark chocolate and then sprinkle with…

My kids are 4 and 7. I make one meal but I make sure that there are some foods that they prefer. I also let them build their plates. My 7 year old eat nearly everything but my 4 year old is still testing things out. They younger one will eat pretty much any protein and any fruit but only some veggies. This is fine for us…

coffee and half an rx bar before the gym, two hard boiled eggs and some raw veggies and berries or grapes after on week days. Then two hours later 8 ounces of coffee with frozen cherries, half a scoop of vega protein and greens, 1/3 frozen banana, and a quarter cup of almond milk in a smoothie. On the weekends it's totally…

I usually have a half of an rx bar or a rice cake with a little nut butter and half a banana before workout (with coffee because I don't function without it). Then I have a smoothie bowl or leftover dinner or some meat and raw veggies (or something with eggs which won't help you) and more coffee.

Hubby got our girls flowers. I made a delicious dinner of chicken thighs with lemon rosemary potatoes, shredded brussel sprouts and spring greens mix salad, and chocolate silk pie for dessert (I had chocolate protein powder mixed with ff greek yogurt). SO GOOD and I have just enough calories left for a big glass of malbec!…

4-6 days/week depending on how much other junk I have to do. If I have my kids I'll take 2 hours (they love the childcare and I love how worn out they are after). If I don't have my kids it take me about an hour to an hour and a half. Weights take 30-50 minutes depending on how heavy I'm lifting (rest times take up a huge…

I am a leggings *kitten*. I have leggings from pretty much every brand/store. My top picks are old navy compression, then athleta, then zella, then lululemon, then nike, then gaiam, then target... I could go on and on. I like my leggings to hug me but not suffocate me, be thick enough to bend over and not give a show, NOT…

Call it whatever you want to. I eat at a deficit Monday through Friday and closer to maintenance on the weekends. It works for me. I don't feel deprived, and it is something that I can continue for into the future (I also don't drink alcohol or eat added sugar or many packaged "snack" type foods during the week, but do on…

I really like aloha. Simple ingredients, tastes good in smoothies and oatmeal and pancakes. Pea protein

I use a TBSP of califia better half. I also started to buy really good coffee. I usually have two or three cups and only have the first with the better half. Creamy and delicious!

bubble water, tea, fruit in water, or just plain water. Lots of ways to drink for hydration. Also eat fruit/veggies.

Splurge on spicy chicken ramen from our favorite ramen restaurant. It'a around 400 calories for a cup and a half and 32 grams of protein so not terrible, but not great for a day of very little movement (writing papers and fighting a cold). It is great for the stuffy nose though! and it tasted AMAZING!

My calorie goal is set at 1250 but I eat closer to 1550 or 1600 (half of my exercise calories). A typical day could look like: coffee with 1 tbs of califia better half 1 brown rice cake topped with .5 tbs of nut butter and some smashed raspberries 2 hard boiled eggs with some raw veggies and grapes or an orange one spicy…

I eat my breakfast in 2 parts but they are both super easy to grab and go. First half of an rx bar or a brown rice cake with nut butter and smashed berries, then a couple hard boiled eggs with raw veggies and some grapes or an orange. I can eat the bar/rice cake in the car and throw the rest into my bag easily.

pre gym, one brown rice cake with .5 tbs peanut butter and some smooshed raspberries, coffee with califia better half creamer. About 125 calories. After will be 2 hard boiled eggs and some veggies and an orange.

tonight is turkey and sweet potato chili. the fam will have greek yogurt, cheese, avocado, and/or tortilla chips to top it. I'll add some avocado and diced onions and jalapeños and cilantro.

black coffee, 2 scrambled eggs with roasted peppers and onion and salsa on top, half of an ambrosia apple. 250 calories. I'll eat another meal in a couple hours after my workout.
