Eating well can feel time consuming and tedious, not just to do it, but the learning process as well! I find that everyone wants to eat “right” but just gives up because of all of the confusing and mixed messages out there about nutrition. Plus, so many “healthy recipes” just don’t sound appetizing.
I have found some great go-tos that I want to share with you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! I have been creating custom 21-day meal guides for my clients who consistently feel satisfied with the taste of their meals and the results they get from following the plan!
Here is an example of what a client of mine may eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Breakfast:
tasty oats
Breakfast for me is such an important part of my routine! I love knowing I started the day off with something that fuels my body. It puts me in a good mood and energizes me to stay on track throughout the day.
My go-to is 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon (honestly, unless you’re not eating pork for religious or committed lifestyle reasons, the difference between the production and sodium content between pork and turkey bacon is truly not that significant - have whichever you feel good about), and sometimes a piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter or avocado on top.
BUT I want to share with you my “gourmet oatmeal” recipe that I like to pull out when I want something different!
Tasty Oats
½ cup dry oats
Almond Milk or Water
About 15 dark chocolate chips
1 tbsp of cinnamon or dark brown sugar
1 sliced and cubed apple
About 350 calories
Lunch:
Chicken Bowl
Many don’t necessarily have the luxury working from home, so it feels especially difficult to eat well when at work. Remember, lunch boxes still exist! And you can get some really attractive ones now :) However, if you simply do not want to do that, there are options. Please email or DM me on Instagram for my list of fast food and casual food spots for their BEST options. I went through so many menus finding the low calorie, low-fat, most energizing options there are. Items from drive-thrus or quick pick-ups that you can feel good about!
If you DO want to pack your lunch or prepare from home, here’s a great go-to:
Chicken Bowl
6 oz. skinless chicken breast
100 grams sweet red peppers sauteed
100 grams green peppers sauteed
0.2 cup/45 grams brown rice
About 700 calories
Dinner:
baked honey salmon
4 oz salmon
2 tbsp honey
6 tbsp butter, melted
2 lemons, thinly sliced3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp thyme leaves, chopped
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt
Pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil and grease with cooking spray. Lay lemon slices down. Season salmon with salt and pepper on both sides and lay over lemons. In small bowl, mix butter, honey, garlic, thyme, and oregano. Pour mixture over salmon and fold the foil around the salmon.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked throughout
Switch oven to broil for 2 minutes.
Add a vegetable like zucchini or brussel sprouts to go with this! I also like a grain like quinoa or couscous. Even after adding this vegetable, you are not going over 500 calories for this meal.
About 400 calories
These are 3 great go-tos, that I go-to over and over again. You should be able to eat healthfully and enjoy it! If you need a 21-day meal guide, please let me know. I break down the calories and all your macros (protein, carb, and fat), so you know exactly what you’re eating. My clients who use these guides lose weight successfully!!
