People always ask me, "What do I eat that keeps me lean?" Yes, my metabolism and genetic factors come into play. I am also very disciplined with my eating. I am not doing any competitions any time soon but I am always looking to be at my best. People think that its some complicated process to eating healthy. Truth be told, its easier then one would think. Healthy food options is what its all about. Here we go:
Meal 1-breakfast(the most enjoying and important meal of the day).
5-6 large brown organic eggs(2 yolks), one cup steel cut oats(with blackberries or blueberries, tablespoon of flax, and stevia to sweeten it up).
Meal 2-mid morning snack.
Protein bar or 40g Isopure whey protein drink.
Meal 3-lunch
2 turkey burger patties(lightly seasoned w/ bbq sauce), 1/2 sweet potato or mixed veggies consisting of spinach, carrots, green beans, and cauliflower.
Meal 4-mid afternoon snack.
20 grams protein shake or 20 grams protein cookies(yummy)! I sometimes do hummus or edimame here instead.
Meal 5-dinner.
Either 1 chicken breast or salmon fillet, 1/2 sweet potato or mixed veggies consisting of spinach, carrots, green beans, and cauliflower.
That's it! Pretty simple huh? Of course, this varies a little and you can be more creative with the food selections but I can't cook so that's the best I can do. I just stick to the simple rule of carb loading in the morning when energy levels need to be higher and you burn calories throughout the day. I taper my carbs as the day goes along when energy requirements are lower. Make sure to get plenty of veggies and drink plenty of water(I struggle with this sometimes). Yes, I cheat. I just stick to the rule 90% on and 10% cheat. I don't expect everyone to be this boring:) but use this as an example for your food plans.
