Hey guys! I thought I would share with you a full day of what I eat just to give you an example of my healthy “diet”. I don't follow any plan specifically, some days I am more paleo then others though and I don't eat a lot of grains but I am trying to incorporate them into my daily eating in small amounts during times when my body needs them like breakfast and after a hard workout for dinner. I don't believe in eating super small quantities of things when you are very active. I eat A LOT but I need a lot to support my body since my metabolism is so high these days, putting on muscle weight is difficult. Soo anyway, let me know if you have questions about my exercise routines/eating or recipes! Talk to you soon :).
Breakfast 7:00am Oatmeal with fresh mixed berries, 1/2 a smashed banana, cinnamon, stevia, vanilla extract, peanut butter & sprinkled pecans and cashews
+ 1/2 Scoop Cookies and Cream protein powder in water.
11:00am Lunch: No picture! But it is very similar to all my typical salads with goat cheese, tuna, ham, 1/4 of an avocado and a sprinkle of pecans over assorted veggies and romaine lettuce. This salad is huge and very filling!
Pre-Workout Snack:
3:0opm A few carrots/snap peas and 1oz black forest ham with spicy hummus.
4:00pm -Workout (was only about 35ish min, I did biceps/triceps/shoulders today)
5:00pm Post-Workout Snack: around 1/2 cup cottage cheese with some assorted fruit and 1/2 scoop of the same protein powder with water. (Loving my messy placemat and winnie the pooh spoon haha)
8:00pm Dinner(a little late I know, I usually eat earlier!): Chicken, serving of mushroom fried rice made with egg, olive oil/mushrooms, green beans with a dash of butter, salt/pepper and vinegar.
8:30pm Mini Dessert! These dark chocolate covered pomegranate seeds were a Christmas present and I kept meaning to try them! I finally had a small handful today and they were absolutely delicious! They will probably become my new special treat :).
10:30? Bedtime Snack -Will eat when hungry but I am most likely going to have 2 squares of my awesome homemade peanut butter protein bars with 1/2 tbsp almond butter on top! Soo good, this is a great treat.
So that's my daily eating habits in a nutshell. This isn't exactly a typical day because usually I would eat some sort of variation of eggs with more veggies for breakfast and cottage cheese with a tbsp of peanut butter or nuts for my late night snack but I am trying to mix things up a bit! Let me know what you think. 🙂

Hello... You can find the pomegranate chocolate at target. They also have blueberry and cranberry but pomegranate is the best!
