Breakfast
I am now obsessed with the protein bowls I’m creating. And with making a batch ahead of time, I have 3-4 bowls ready for the week. I had Mr. Nine so intrigued that I created a peanut butter flavor for him, and he is in love! I always have at least a cup of berries total a day and in the a.m. I do have a cup of coffee with Stevia and 1 tsp. Chobani Coffee Creamer.
Total Breakfast Calories 282 and 26g protein
I will add that I do still loosely intermittent fast. I normally only eat between the hours of 10:30-6:30. There may be done days I grab breakfast earlier, but I stick to it in most days. I also don’t intermittent fast on vacations or special occasions.
Lunch
How I have been loving making my own Turkey sausage. Recipe
2 eggs, 2 small turkey sausage patties, a mini avocado and some strawberries and I’m good to go. I LOVE breakfast foods at all times of the day.
Total Lunch Calories 465 & 42g protein
Or should I say teatime, lol. I have a cup of tea every afternoon and I always need a little something sweet with it. This is usually when I have my one date a day with a little bit of almond butter. You may recall my Post on How I Lowered My Cholesterol with dates. Sometimes, I will throw in some fruit and this time of year, I am loving the sumo oranges, but I just have a half. And I also just have a half of a Barebell Protein Bar.
They are my all-time favorite protein bars.
Total Snack Calories 290 & 12g protein
Dinner
This Asian Chicken Salad is a flavorful delight that hits the spot. I used the ground chicken, slaw and dressing to make Asian Chicken tacos for Mr. Nine and I had the salad. So yummy. The ground chicken I use for this is a Recipe I’ve shared on the blog before way back my first year of blogging.
My Target Calories is 1350-1450 and
118 grams of protein.
The way you calculate how much protein your body needs is:
Your Weight divided by 2.2 x's 2=
If you're not as active, do it time s 1.2-1.8
I’d say I did pretty good this day with a
Total of 1387 Calories and 112 grams of protein.
What do you eat in a day?

I love posts like this. This is how I get great ideas. I want to drink tea for my afternoon snack more. I plan to make the chicken lettuce wraps this week or next!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks delicious! What do you put in your protein bowls?
ReplyDeleteI do love posts like this! I enjoy a sumo orange and I eat 1 or 2 protein bars every day. I like the Built and Quest bars. I may try the Barebells too.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting to read both for actual information/ideas and to get a sneak peak into others' lives (that's one reason we blog and read others' blogs, right? We're curious, lol). I want to try your Asian chicken salad. Good job getting so much protein in!
ReplyDeleteI pretty much never want to eat breakfast foods; not even at breakfast. LOL. But that said your meals look very yummy. I love posts like this. I'm interested to read more about your protein bowls!
ReplyDeleteWe have a protein shake for breakfast during the week that my husband likes to make. I will have to make the asian chicken for dinner sometime as it looks so good. We have eggs for breakfast on the weekends but it's nice for lunch or dinner too. I enjoyed reading this post Andrea.
ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely delicious. I’m hungry now. Happy Monday.

Your lunch looks amazing. I love love berries. I would eat them all day! Raspberries are my absolute favourite.
ReplyDeleteAhh! I actually wrote a What I eat in a day post over the weekend and scheduled it for next week. I love reading posts like this even if other people think they are silly. I find the normal things about life so interesting.
ReplyDeleteYour breakfast looks so good and I love the sound of the turkey sausage patties.
I love all your posts, and I really enjoy this type. I find it so helpful to get new meal ideas as I try to incorporate more protein into my diet post-menopause. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI always find these posts interesting! Sometimes I get in a meal rut, and I like it when people share things like this. My body doesn't react well to protein bars or powders, or stevia, so I stay away from them, but your bowl looks yummy, and your salad looks just like one that Chris's mom made for us when we were visiting. Anyway! Thank you for sharing, and you always look beautiful, my friend! Have an amazing day! XO, Caroline
ReplyDeleteWow, you really track everything. We concentrate on a whole food diet with little to no processed (especially ultra processed) food.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we have so much protein at breakfast that we aren't even hungry for lunch. Crazy, right?

I have been doing Keto for almost a year now, and it's so good and lost between 50–60 pounds and maintaining it, although I have relaxed my diet somewhat but still do the same as a year ago. Love your salad, will for sure try it.

I love breakfast foods all day, too! I often eat eggs with cottage cheese for lunch because they have a ton of protein!
ReplyDeleteI have a bowl of berries everyday too over other fruit! I feel they have more fiber and less sugars (even if fruit is all natural!). Ok, you need to share the recipe for these protein bowls!!! I love your tea time with something healthy yet still sweet.
