I know these posts may be silly to some, a “I don’t really care what you eat,” lol. I, however, love them. Not only do posts like this offer food inspiration, new recipes and snack ideas, I feel like they can keep myself and you readers accountable. It might make you look at “hey what am I putting in my body” on a daily basis? Or maybe just a “YUM!” Ha ha!
I will also give you the calorie and protein breakdown. I’m trying very hard to be in a little bit of a calorie deficit so I can get off the 5-7 pounds I gained over the holidays. I’m getting close.
Soon, I will be compiling another one of my healthy recipes round up posts and include some of these that I created. Like the one I did HERE.
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.
Total Dinner Calories 350 & 30g protein
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?
