Well its simple, I am going to be eating lean proteins, fruits, veggies, healthy fats and healthy carbs. Its really that simple. I eat a lot of eggs, chicken, lean beef and tons of veggies and fruits. I add in some healthy fats like hummus, natural pb or almond butter, avocados and oils like evoo and coconut oil. I do not add a lot of the healthy carbs but when I do its sweet potatoes, quinoa and things like a piece of whole wheat toast or whole wheat English Muffins.
I always try to start with the 80/20 Rule which is 80% is clean and 20% is not so clean because I do like to have a handful of goldfish here and there and I do like to have my pretzels with my hummus and carrots as well. As I get better and more into this routine that slowly becomes more like 90/10 and I will get there again I know I will, but I want to live and I want to let myself have these options so I don't feel deprived and then go through a binge and throw all the hard work out the window.
What my day will usually look like is something like this:
Morning: Coffee (black with 2 stevia packets) with a banana
eggs either scrambled or fried some days i'll have a chicken sausage with it and an English muffin other days just eggs sautéed with veggies (I always dip in ketchup 80/20 rule right!)
Mid Morning Snack: fruit with a healthy fat
Lunch: Shakeology with spinach water and ice
Mid Afternoon Snack: veggies with a healthy fat like avocado, hummus or guacamole
coffee (always a second cup haha I like coffee)
Dinner: Lean Protein and Veggies and maybe a healthy carb (not everyday)
Night Snack: Tea or water
Water Goal is 100oz EVERYDAY
So that is my goal for my daily food intake, I want accountability and that is why I am writing these things and sharing with you what my plan is because if I am letting others know then my goals will happen for 2017.
So what is your plan for 2017 I would love to know.
Have an awesome day my friends, and check out the recipe I shared below!
