Trainer Haley's Full Day of Eating!

Breakfast:

First off, if I could have breakfast all day, I would. I absolutely love breakfast and I make the time to enjoy my mornings by having a nutrient dense breakfast.

For breakfast, I typically consume Veggie Omelet made with 5 Egg Whites or 1 Full Egg + 4 Egg Whites, with optional add-ons of: red pepper, spinach, Mrs. Dash Italian seasoning and mushrooms. Two slices of Udi’s Cinnamon Raisin Bread or Scharr Bread topped with Coconut Oil and Cinnamon + 1 cup fruit (pineapple and berries).

SIDE NOTE:

Egg yolks hold a bad reputation, but studies show that egg yolks hold the most nutrients like healthy fats and micronutrients are bodies need to run efficiently. I recommend consuming 5-8 whole eggs in a one week time frame.

Snack:

2 Hard Boiled Egg Whites + 1 Whole Egg and Kind Bar

OR

1 Banana with Kind Bar

SIDE NOTE: If I do not have a morning snack I have a snack after dinner.

Lunch:

3 Chicken Skewers= 5 ounces Chicken (I used WestEnd Cuisine Grilled Mediterranean Chicken Skewers from Costco

Medium Sweet Potato (Microwaved and seasoned with Cinnamon)

Vegetables (Snap Peas and Zucchini)

Snack:

Plain Greek Yogurt with 1/2 Cup Loop D Fruit Phormula-1 , 1 1/2 Quaker's Caramel Rice Cakes with 1 tbsp. Nuts 'n More Peanut Butter

OR

1st Phorm Protein Shake

Dinner:

6 ounces Salmon

Unlimited Vegetables: Zucchini, Squash, Cucumbers and Tomatoes

How-To Meal Prep in 5-Minutes:

Make extra Protein and/or Carbohydrate source for dinner (mine was salmon from the night before)
Shop at Costco and choose from the selection of pre-packaged protein sources (chicken, turkey breast, ham, hard boiled eggs).
Cut up 2-3 different types of vegetables and save some for future lunch/dinners.
Cut 3 slices about ¾ way through Sweet Potato or Regular Potato and microwave for 6-minutes. Do this while you’re making breakfast (or do it the night before). Once sweet potato is complete, peel skins and place in tupper ware with your protein and vegetable source—lunch is made!
Snacks: choose from raw nuts, Plain Greek Yogurt, Protein powder, cut up vegetables with single serving hummus or avocado, string cheese, banana, apple, etc. Choose from foods that are easy to grab, yet healthy for you!

Pack everything in your lunch box and BOOM all your meals are made and you’re ready for your day!
