First I am going to say sorry for the quality of the pics, I was trying to take them at work before I got the side eye (what is that crazy girl doing taking pics of her food?) looks at my desk. I take my meals with me EVERY day, that is the only way I can stay on track and not hit up the vending machines or want to chew my arm off. My stomach is so used to eating every 2-3 hours that it will tell me when I have crossed the line into dangerous territory. For reals!
Breakfast – roughly around 6:00 am
Seriously I have the same breakfast every morning. This doesn’t bother me as I am not a morning person and the less I have to think the better! It used to be a protein shake every morning but then I caught on to Tosca Reno’s Eat Clean Diet and the recipe for her overnight porridge. I make it on the weekend and it is my breakfast for the week! Easy Peasie! Side Note: This porridge will clean out your system if you know what I mean!! TMI?! Oh well not taking it back. This has been the best part of this new diet! Seriously!
Mid Morning Snack – 9:00 am – 9:30 am
I love these Chipotle Chorizo Chicken Sausages for a little different flavor. I vary my protein as much as I can, but for work like to do the same protein source for this snack and lunch to cut out prep. I also made this awesome cucumber spring salad that was a big duh moment for me. All the fixings of a salad minus the lettuce! GENIUS! {Face Palm myself} Don’t get me wrong I love salad and have at least one a day, but this is a great alternative. Click here for the recipe.
Lunch – Noon
Another Chorizo Chicken Sausage and a salad. This salad was inspired by a post by That Fitness Chick. I just recently stumbled on her blog and I love it! Go check it out! Lots of inspiration to be found. Her salad was a Brussel sprout salad which I will be making this week. I switched out the sprouts for spring mix lettuce.
Mid Afternoon Snack – 3:00 pm to 4 pm
I try to go quick and easy and not microwaveable as I am more likely to get pulled into a meeting or had to be away from my desk so better something I can grab and go. Since I work out after work I wanted it to not be too heavy or I get an upset stomach at the gym.
Gym Time/ Pre-workout – 5:45 pm -6 pm
I workout with heavy weights and cardio so I fuel my muscles with Amino Acids supplement. This one is my favorite as it tastes amazing! Watermelon flavor, yes please!
Dinner – roughly 7:30 pm to 8:00 pm (as soon as I get home from the gym)
When I get home from the gym the last thing I want to do is make some complex meal. So I usually end up making an egg white scramble or protein pancakes. If I am still hungry for bed I will make a protein shake, greek yogurt or some cheese.
Are there any meals here that you think you could incorporate into your day? Any that you are saying hells to the no? One of my friends said she would starve if she lived in my house and ate this food, but as you can see I eat frequently so even though my plates don’t runneth over it ends up being a lot of food over the course of the day!
