What I typically eat

So I have had a lot of recent questions as to what I tend to eat on a daily basis, well obviously that changes from day to day but this is a typical look at the various foods that I eat: 

Grains, Carbs and Starches:

Oatmeal (literally have this almost every moring, its cheap and easy and you can change it up all the time)

Quinoa (it has protein in it)

Brown Rice

Sweet Potatoes

Rice Cakes (look for low salt)

Veggies:

Basically anything

Spaghetti Squash

Zucchini 

Brussel Sprouts

Cucumber

Sweet Peppers

Spinach

Lettuce

Broccoli

Edamame 

Carrots

*remember that all these have the best nutrients when they are not cooked

Fruits:

Basically Anything

bananas

apples

blueberries

Strawberries

*I tend to limit these to 1-2 servings a day or else I tend to feel bloated but its up to you

Dairy:

Fat Free Cottage cheese (good protein too)

Fat Free Greek Yogurt (good protein too)

Almond Milk

Protein:

Egg Whites

Chicken

Turkey

Tuna

Salmon

Protein Powder (get a flavor you like! Its an easy way to increase your protein intake)

Fat:

Avocado

Nuts (almonds and cashews are my go to)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Peanut Butter

Toppings:

Salsa

Sirachi 

Greek Yogurt

Cinnamon 

Vanilla extract 

Sugar free jams

Walden Farms (check it out zero calorie sweets and dressings)

PB2

I eat anywhere from 1500-2000 calories on a day, if you are training hard you need the calories dont worry about the intake as much as what food you are intaking, and that you are getting the proper nutrients. I eat around 6 meals a day that are about 250-300 calories each. This is how I eat and its not fit for everyone so see how it works for you and go from there. I recommend getting the myfitnesspal app it helps to keep track of all your calories by more importantly your nutrients which is the major component for example I like to have my protein intake at about 145 g, carbs at 120-160 g and fats 40 g a day. Again this is just for me and I am not an expert but this works for me.

Hope some of you find this helpful! Have a wonderful rest of of the week and enjoy the love of Valentines day!
