BREAKFAST (8am)

Go Lean Crunch Cereal

Soy Milk

Peach

SNACK (10am)

Fruit snacks

Granola bar

LUNCH (3pm)

Hamburger

Fries

SNACK (6pm)

Clementine

Wheat Thin Crackers

Peanut butter

DINNER (8pm)

BBQ chicken quesadilla 

Orange slices

Asparagus

WATER:  11 cups

NOTES:  Ski day (therefore pretty heavy in "quick grab" and "pocket stuffer" snacks.  Dinner was very balanced (all food groups).  Lunch was fabulous, I had been craving a hamburger for two days and so my husband took me out for lunch and we each got a hamburger and shared a serving of fries.  This can fit into a healthy diet as long as it is a "once in a while" food choice.  Keep in mind that this Eat Like Me page is intended to provide ideas for health and tasty meals and snacks but everyone is different and there are certainly other healthy ideas out there.  To receive a personalized meal plan fit for you contact me under the Contact Me page.

NOTE:  I am noticing that there is a lot of variety within my meals but that I have repeated a lot of the same meals and snacks from day to day this week.  I don't believe in excuses but I'm making one.....with my busy work schedule (6am-10pm) these are the foods that I like, that are healthy, and easy to eat on the go.  So I'm ok sticking with it until things slow down a little.  But these should give you some good ideas for healthy, tasty food on the go!

NOTES:  Thursdays are my LONG training days with minimal breaks....in the middle of training I got light headed and so had to sneak in the 8pm snack (it had been too long since my last snack).  And my dinner was very late again but it is more important to nourish myself than to skip dinner even if the timing is a bit off.  Proud of myself for getting all my veggies in today!

EAT LIKE ME

There are over 42.6 million internet searches for “diet”, “nutrition, “and fitness” each month.  And the number of search results is just as overwhelming.  The internet is full of “quick fixes”, “elimination diets”, “supplements”, other controversial methods.  I use scientifically backed research and moderate methods to break the myth cycle and bring you the most effective and healthful nutrition approaches.

I put my own preaching to practice on the “Eat Like Me” page where I share what I eat on a daily basis.  You will notice that my diet contains more than rice cakes and celery and that I even include an occasional dessert.  This goes to show that you can eat realistically and still have the health and body that you want.
