Eating Well!

So to expand on my post from yesterday...what I typically eat in a day amounts tosooooo much food I can barely finish it all! I often miss the last 'meal' because I am not hungry!

Meal 1 = oatmeal with fresh berries, 2 egg whites (either scrambled or hardboiled) water and tea
Meal 2 = Apple with plain old nut butter (either peanut or almond) water green tea
Meal 3 = chicken breast, brown rice or coucous or quinoa (quinoa also counts as a protein!) and a salad or chopped up tomato or mixed veg (you get the idea) water green tea
Meal 4 = celery with tzaziki or if I want something sweet yogurt with berries water
Meal 5 = chicken or fish or pork with a whole grain (see above meal 3)and veg water with lemon
Meal 6 = fruit or celery with cottage cheese or yogurt water

I also have managed to enter the world of smoothies and have fallen in love! If I am having a smootie for breakfast (meal 1 or 2) I throw in a scoop of natural protein powder and call it a day! Love it!

And since I don't stay at home all the live long day, I have to bring my food with me, so it takes a bit of planning. I am already a brown bagger for lunches at work, so it wasn't a huge leap to start doing it on weekends too...it's just a little awkward pulling out food every 2-3 hours when no one else is eating!

Here are some pics of meals lately...


Sunday Brunch - Frittata (with red peppers, onion, mushroom, and spinach) and spicy picante super caliente salsa, roasted potatoes, and diced cukes (because that salsa is seriously SPICY!) with ginger syrup in sparkling water.
