Okay, so here is what I typically eat in a day. It's definitely NOT the cleanest but it is better than what I was previously eating. This is what is helping me tone up but I'm not seeing the results I want yet so I have to cut out some more fruits, dairy, and breads/cereals. I usually eat a lot of the same things because it's easy to go grocery shopping and easy to prepare stuff. Once I get sick of these I will come up with other things to mix in my daily menu =)
Breakfast (before I leave for work)
1/3 (dry) quick oats
3/4 c. unsweetened almond milk
half a banana sliced on top (I keep the other half for my cereal at night)
I mix it with the following (not all at once lol):
Snack
PC Blue Menu finesse yogurt cup
1 c. of grapes (green and red mixed)
a few Snack Factory thin pretzels and/or Pop chips
Lunch
some form of protein:

I mix it with the following (not all at once lol):
- raisins
- unsweetened coconut
- frozen blueberries and/or frozen raspberries/strawberries
- walnuts
- honey or maple syrup (sometimes I don't even add either of these in)
- 1/4 of an apple chopped into small pieces
- cinnamon
- cocoa powder
- so many options!!!

1 c. of grapes (green and red mixed)

Lunch
some form of protein:
- salmon/fish fillet
- can of flavored tuna
- chicken breast
- hard boiled eggs
with veggies of some sort:
- frozen veggies from Costco
- if I use chicken breast for stir fry I use the stir fry frozen veggies from Costco
- spinach salad: I either use the flavored tuna as the dressing or I use dressing if I'm eating it with hard boiled eggs
and an apple or some sort of fruit
Snack
1% cottage cheese
baby carrots
celery sticks
the rest of my thin pretzels/pop chips
Dinner
pretty much the same thing I have for lunch but in a different form than what I had for lunch
(lots of veggies!!!)
Snack
a bowl of cereal with the other half of my banana from the morning with unsweetened almond milk
(I like Multi Grain Cheerios, shredded wheat softened with boiling water, Rice Crispies. **Be careful of sodium in cereals: Some even have more salt than a small bag of chips**)
My cousin just finished university where she was took nutrition and she told me I need to eat more veggies. I'm having a really hard time with this =( I loooooove my fruit but the sugar is probably what is preventing me from seeing better results. I have 4 weeks until I'm in Jamaica and I want to be rocking my bikini! Let's see what I can do in these 4 weeks.
I definitely do cheat... like all the time. Chocolate is my weakness, but any sugar in general is. I love cakes, candies, chocolate, cookies, etc. So even though I eat my healthy stuff listed here, there are usually a few things that slip in during the day. This is yet another thing that I have to work on. My will power is definitely lacking for this but I'm trying to work on it and maybe I'll start by limiting it to one 'treat' a day. Baby steps!
Have a good weekend!! What workout(s) are you doing this weekend?

Looks pretty clean to me :)
ReplyDeleteAll sounds yummy too!
I could probably do without the breads and grains though :/ and the pasta. I feel like I eat pretty good but my tummy is not getting toned like I'm hoping
