I've been getting a lot of questions asking what I eat on a daily basis. Instead of writing it out quickly everytime, and missing details, I thought I'd do a blog post about it so everyone can look back at it whenever they want :)
I'm sorry to say, my diet is REALLY boring. I eat pretty much the same thing everyday. I find it easier to stay on track and stay organized when things stay for the most part the same. I do tweak portion sizes and timing depending on what marcro breakdown I'm using (ie. How much Protein, Carb, Fat I'm getting at the time) and what time of the day I get my workouts in.
Since I'm working toward a competition, I also stick to things I can measure very accurately with measuring cups or scales (ie, no healthy, clean casseroles or stews which can vary a lot in calorie count and macro breakdown depending on what you get in your scoop! :)
So here it goes, this is a typical day, and all I really change are serving sizes to meet my plan :)
Meal one- Oatmeal (typical add ins are cocoa, stevia, berries, or natural peanut butter.....not all in the same serving) and egg whites
Meal two-Typically this an hour before workout, I usually have two Jamie Eason Turkey Muffins (recipe is under the WHAT I EAT tab on my blog)
Post Workout- Whey Protein Shake and a Medium Banana
Meal Three- Chicken, Sweet Potato or Brown Rice, and A rice cake with Natural PB
Meal Four-Chicken, Sweet Potato or Brown Rice and Vegetables (sometimes I will remove the sweet potato/rice here depending on what my carb intake is for the day.)
Meal Five-Chicken, Vegetables, and Natural Peanut Butter on Celery
Before Bed, Either a Casein Shake or Egg whites
If I need to add calories....(my calorie count seems to be growing every week)...I'll add Greek yogurt with Natural PB and some cocoa, or I'll blend some Fat Free Cottage cheese in the magic bullet with some unsweetened Chocolate Almond milk, Cocoa, and some PB2 or Natural PB....both of those recipes are also under the WHAT I EAT tab.
And THAT'S IT!!!! I've been eating this way since August, and it works great for me...no cravings, always satisfied :) When I get closer to the time I have to lean out, I'll definitly be taking dairy out of the equation, because I get a little bloated when I eat it, but for now, it's working ;)
I'm also ALWAYS prepared!! I'm on mat leave right now, so I don't have to be SUPER organized with tupperwear and all, but this is what my fridge always looks like.
On the lower shelf I have a nice stockpile of Greek Yogurt and Low Fat Cottage Cheese
On the middle left I have a big ziplock bag full of Turkey Meatballs.
Next to that I have a tupperwear full of Baked chicken breast.
On top of that, a tupperwear full of Baked Sweet Potatoes
On the top shelf I have a huge stockpile of Egg Whites as I go through them like water!
The Crispers are always full of vegetables in case I want to throw in a salad here and there. I replace my Natural Peanut Butter Servings with Avacado in that case :)
I cook everything in advance about three days....more than that I find it just doesn't taste fresh enough for my liking. The vegetables in my meals are usually frozen green beans or broccoli, and I cook them fresh everyday. I don't like veggies that have been sitting around more than a day, and I don't end up eating them!!!
So there you go!!! I hope this helps. And I'm sorry that it's not more exciting!! I'm telling ya though, if you stick to it for three weeks, you will LOVE IT!!!! All cravings will have disappeared and I promise you won't feel deprived at all!!
