WIAW #1

Good afternoon everyone! Almost everyday I get someone asking what I eat to stay in shape. Well like I've said before, I certainly don't eat the same thing everyday. Instead I have a specific set of macros that I aim to reach, making my food choices based on the number of fats/protein/carbs I have left to fill. 

This is a kind of vague answer though so I thought it would be beneficial to give an example of what a day of eating might look like fore me! Thus begins WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday).

Keep in mind, this is not what I recommend everyone to eat! These are just the numbers that personally work for me, based on my own body and my goals. Everyone is going to have different macros and different foods they want to eat within them. Enough rambling though, lets get started!

 Meal 1: Breakfast consisted of 2 servings of Alexia sweet potato waffle fries and an egg white scramble (with mushrooms, chicken, and fat free cheddar cheese)

Macros: 421 cals 10.7F/43.6C/35.6P

From here I went to the gym where I also had some (unpictured) sour gummy worms pre workout.

Macros: 120 cals 0F/30C/2P

 Meal 2: Back at home my post workout meal consisted of 2 eggs, 1 piece of toast with strawberry jam and a Mixim yogurt

Macros: 370 cals 12F/39C/25P

 Meal 3: Lunch was a "fajita bowl" of sorts with lots of bell peppers and onion, corn, salsa, brown rice, shrimp, and avocado. One of my favorites!

Macros: 416 cals 6.6F/58.4C/31.8P

 Meal 4: I was still feeling pretty fishy apparently so I had some spicy garlic quinoa with seared salmon and zuchinni, plus some oven roasted broccoli on the side.

Macros: 366 cals 11.3F/41.4C/27.5P

 Meal 5: Finally, for my last meal I had my typical bedtime yogurt bowl. What you see here is plain greek yogurt, fiber one chocolate cereal, pb2 balls, fresh strawberries and Trader Joe's sugar free dark chocolate. I literally have this every night and I never get bored! It's just so good :D

Macros: 370 cals 8.3F/60.5C/30.7P

 This all came to a total of 2063 cals 49F/273C/152P. Not bad considering I aim for 2150 cals 50F/275C/150P each day!

I hope this gave you all a good idea of how flexible dieting and IIFM kind of works. Stay tuned for more of these and let me know if you have any questions that I can answer about this in future posts!
