Typical Daily Diet

Tweet

We have gotten the email several times of readers wanting to know what our daily diet consists of. We appreciate your questions and we are going to answer this one today! When planning your diet...remember this!!

I will start...this is me...Jess!

My diet has been a little different these days because this little peanut inside of me is craving some not so nice things for my body. Here is how I usually feel...I am so undecided as to what sounds good!!

But I have to realize that they are just cravings and I still know what my body needs, the nutrients it needs and what is best for it. So here is what a typical day is for me...

Pre-Workout

(usually will eat 1-2 of these, depending on the size of my workout)

Mandarin Orange
Piece of Toast with a little honey & PB
Gogo Applesauce Pouch
1/3-1/2 PowerBar Performance Bar (Vanilla Crisp or Oatmeal Raisin)

Breakfast

Oatmeal, Cream of Wheat or Malt of Meal
1/2 Banana
Sliced Strawberries
Blueberries
Almond Milk

Morning Snack

(Alternate between these)

Think Thin Protein Bar
Green Smoothie
Strawberries & Cottage Cheese
Apple
Pretzels & Peanut Butter
Cucumbers & Cottage Cheese
Greek Yogurt & Granola

Lunch

Some sort of sandwich or Salad.
Usually it is Turkey or Chicken. I don't use Mayo or dressings. I will use Mustard or Cranberry sauce on my sandwich and Balsamic Vinegar and Pepper on my salad. I don't eat a ton of cheese but I love avocado...that is something I definitely eat everyday at lunch!!

 Afternoon Snack

(Similar to Morning Snacks)

Think Thin Protein Bar
Green Smoothie
Strawberries & Cottage Cheese
Apple (I eat one of these everyday!!)
Pretzels & Peanut Butter
Cucumbers & Cottage Cheese
Greek Yogurt & Granola
Veggies & Salsa
Veggies & Hummus

Dinner

Chicken or Fish. I don't eat red meat. I occasionally will prepare turkey something!
Some sort of carb. Brown Rice, Quinoa, Sweet Potato, Spaghetti Squash, etc.
Steamed Veggies. Favorites at our house are Broccoli, Endamame, Peas & Carrots, Cabbage, Asparagus, Zucchini.
Fruit. I love summer. Always have some watermelon, grapes, peaches or whatever we feel like!!

Before bed if I get hungry, I usually will eat a piece of fruit, some yogurt, or even sometimes a bowl of cereal.

I think no matter what your diet is...here is what you need to remember! You are what your eat. Your body responds to what you consumed and put into your body the day before! If you want lots of energy and to feel great...eat great things. If you want the opposite...you know what to do!!
