Food!
My personal diet consists of basically only these foods:
- Peanut Butter
- Egg whites
- Oatmeal
- Granola
- Chocolate soy milk
- Greens (any but romaine!)
- Carrots
- Grapes
- Cucumbers
- Apples
- Chicken Breast
- Scallops
- Turkey Breast
- Brown Rice
- Cliff Mojo Bars
- Oranges
- Strawberries
- Tomatos
- Peas
- Almonds
- Bananas
- Protein Powder
Sample days of meals would look like this:
Breakfast: 2 packets of plain instant oatmeal with one third cup of egg whites stirred in and truvia
Lunch: Cliff Mojo bar, apple
Snack: Almonds
Dinner: Scallops, brown rice, salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olive oil dressing
Breakfast: Peanut butter
Lunch: Salad with chicken, cucumbers, avocado, tomatoes, olive oil dressing
Snack: Banana
Dinner: Chicken breast, grilled veggies, gallo pinto (black beans with peppers, brown rice, onions, and garlic)
Breakfast: Egg white omelet with peppers, spinach and chicken
Lunch: Whole wheat wrap with peanut butter, apricot jam, coconut shreds
Snack: (I don’t eat one if I have this for lunch because it is so filling)
Dinner: Some sort of take out salad with a protein and dressing on the side
This doesn’t mean that I’m not a teenage girl who pigs out occasionally with my friends! These are just the general meal plans I try to follow, and I think a big part of being a healthy person is learning to make flexibility in your meals work. So don’t sweat the small stuff with your diet and make sure you eat enough! Treats once a week like some dark chocolate or a low fat frozen yogurt are perfect ideas to keep yourself sane. Our bodies are our temples, and we should decorate them, not sterilize them!
