I had someone ask me "What are you doing, how are you doing it" My answer was "Eating clean, healthy and good ol exercise"
My typical eating schedule is I try and eat every 2 hours. For example
Breakfast: 2 egg whites and a protein shake
2 hours later snack: protein shake and handful of raw almonds
2 hours later lunch: some kind of protein and at least a cup of veggies. I eat a lot of green veggies.
2 hours later snack: protein shake and string cheese. or lately I have been eating the Dannon Greek light and fit yogurt. I LOVE the blueberry one and I like to sprinkle some bran flacks on top. YUM
2 hours later dinner: I eat a protein and more veggies.
And that's pretty much what I have been eating. I am starting to add more complex carbs to my meals so for breakfast, I will eat 1 piece of whole wheat toast to go with my eggs and protein shake.
My personal goal is to workout at least 1 hour a day, but some day's it's more just because I am in training and run so much, I need to make sure I do my weight and ab training as well. not just cardio. I also have 1 rest day where I don't do a thing. I need to have a day of rest so my muscles don't get so tired and over worked. I say if you can get in a good 20-30 minutes of exercise a day, that is awesome.
Oh and most importantly, make sure you are drinking a TON of water!! I drink about a gallon a day.
some other snack/meal ideas I eat are:
I make a juice
Protein frozen shake if I feel like a treat
cottage cheese with 1/2 an avocado and cherry tomatoes (I use this for my lunch or sometimes dinner)
cobb salad
Fruit and nut salad from Zuppas. oh my goodness I LOVE it. I just get the half salad and dip my fork in the dressing with each bite. I don't even eat half the small dressing. (not sure on calories since they don't have a nutrition facts sheet yet)
I am also going to have 1 cheat meal a week. With this meal, I will eat what ever I want. I love when I get to this point:)
I hope this helps explain what I have been eating:) Remember that I am not a Doctor, trainer or nutritionist. I am just a Mommy trying to be fit and healthy. Check with your Doctor to see what calories you should be taking in and what you should be eating Everyone is different.
