Today's menu

On my journey of fitness and being healthy, I am striving have a more “clean” diet.  Now what does that mean? I don’t know the exact definition, but to me it means eating less processed food and more fresh meats, fruits, and veggies.  I tend to be hungry every few hours, so I eat 5-6 small meals a day instead of 3 large meals.  And I NEVER skip breakfast! I do have an occasional alcoholic drink every now and then, but I limit it to 1-2 glasses of wine per week and 2 drinks on a night out.

Here is what I ate today!

Breakfast:  Breakfast quinoa (I put blueberries in mine), and a banana with a teaspoon of peanut butter

Snack: ½ cup of low fat cottage cheese with 2 sliced strawberries

Lunch: Chicken stirfry (chicken, stirfry veggies, brown rice, low sodium soy sauce)

Snack: No bake oat ball, Fage Total 2% strawberry yogurt

Dinner: Black bean quesadilla (1/4 cup of each: black beans, shredded chicken, salsa, shredded cheese. toast in a low carb tortilla)

I tend to be a “snacker,” so I had a small baggie of pistachios at my desk today.  I also love drinking water, I probably consumed 2-3 500mL bottles at the office.

Usually I limit my afternoon snack to just 1 item (just the yogurt or just the oat ball) however I knew I was working out with my trainer this evening.  I ate the yogurt earlier than my normal snack, then the oat ball about 45 minutes before my workout with my energy drink (Cellucor C4, pink lemonade).  More on my trainer and workouts soon!
