What I Eat In A Day
One of the biggest questions that I get as a Faster Way coach – is “what do you eat in a day?” So I decided to document the past 4 days to share what I eat in a day. Some of these are regular meals, some of them were changing it up because I was on the go, but all of them were as mostly whole food as possible, fit my macros, and taste delicious! We are not about deprivation diets in the Faster Way, in fact, most of my clients have to get used to the fact that they “get to eat” so much! Continue reading for my inspiration with healthy foods & meals for the week! Also, be sure to check out my video diary linked at the bottom of this post!
Tips for tracking
For me personally, I try to plan at least my dinners for the week, and when I track my foods for the day, I will enter in that meal FIRST, so that I can work backwards from there to “fill in my macros”. Enter the meal you KNOW you will be eating regardless, first, and then you can see how you need to eat the rest of the day. Spending 10-15 minutes the morning of, or night before is SO helpful in setting yourself up for a successful day.
Carb Cycling
In the Faster Way we implement carb cycling, which basically means eating low carb on some days, and high carb on other days. This intentional variation of carbs allows us to reap the benefits of low carb fat burning days, while still protecting our energy, metabolism, and mood with high carb days. Here’s how my two low carb days went.
Low Carb Monday
Coffee + nutpods (Every. single. day!)
Eggs, leftover steak, avocado, raspberries
Low carb berry smoothie with protein powder
Spinach salad with feta cheese, boiled eggs, & green goddess dressing
Egg roll in a bowl with spicy mayo
Alyssa’s healthy oatmeal bites, almond milk, peanut butter, and raspberries
Y’all I have never typed out everything I eat in a day, and let me just say — isn’t that a lot?! Like I said. No deprivation.
Low Carb Tuesday
Coffee + nutpods
Chicken fajitas, guacamole, and a moderate serving of rice and bean
Steak, spinach salad with hemp hearts & boiled eggs, roasted Brussel sprouts
Alyssa’s chocolate bites, almond milk, peanut butter, and raspberries. (What can I say, creature of habit!)
High Carb Wednesday
Coffee + nutpods
PB&J Acai Bowl from Good Juju
Tomato basil soup + strawberry spinach salad
Venison tenderloin, sweet potato, corn
High Carb Thursday
Coffee + nutpods
Oatmeal + berries + honey
Chef salad with honey mustard dressing
Venison steak, corn, brussel sprouts, sweet potato
Strawberry Banana Grape protein smoothie
The power to choose
One of the biggest things that I tell my clients is THEY ARE IN CONTROL. You get to choose how you fill in your day. We all have different tastes and preferences, so what I eat in a day may not be your cup of tea. And vice versa! There is SO much space for variety, and choices in this program that it’s near impossible to type them all out.
I hope that in sharing a snapshot of my days helps with inspiration, and encourages you to choose some great options for yourself! My clients receive an in depth guide for both low carb days and high carb days, with meals, snacks, and tips for each of those days. If you are interested in signing up as a client, you can register & learn more here. I love sharing my knowledge in this area. It is my passion to empower you to make healthier choices for yourself and your family!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and enjoy the big GAME on Sunday! If you haven’t yet downloaded my Super Bowl Snack Guide, you can grab yours here! Happy Friday friends!
