Hi, friends!

My “Mostly ‘Normal’ Day of Eating” post was a big hit with you guys, so I decided to write another one. (Maybe it will be a regular feature on CNC again?) Yesterday was a fairly busy day for me. Mal watched Quinn while I worked like a mad woman, so I didn’t have much time to snack. I’m usually one of those “live to eat” people, but yesterday was definitely a “eat to live” kind of day. Haha! Basically, I ate a lot more meals and fewer snacks compared to my previous post, so I thought it would give you guys an idea how I eat on other days. That said, here is a recap of my eats from yesterday!

Breakfast – I woke up starving, so I made a big meal to start the day: Avocado toast with kosher salt, eggs with Sriracha, and Breakfast Potatoes, which looks like a small portion on my plate, but I ate a bunch while waiting for my eggs and toast to cook.

Lunch – I was working away like a maniac, so I didn’t even realize it was lunchtime until my stomach started to grumble. On the menu: A chicken patty from Trader Joe’s with half of a roasted sweet potato and rice, which were both cooked ahead of time, so I just reheated them in the microwave. And, of course, I squirted some Sriracha on top of everything. I love the heat!

Workout – KFIT arm- and lung-smoker. It was called “Jaws.”

Post-workout snack – I made a protein shake with SFH vanilla Recovery, iced coffee, and soy milk. I also ate a Carrot Spice Protein Bar from the freezer. (I just nuked it in the microwave.)

Dinner – I was feeling really lazy, so I threw together a sort of random meal, but it turned out pretty well. I mixed together canned chicken and jarred bruschetta (both from Trader Joe’s) and then threw it on top of some leftover rice. Boom. Dinner done.

Dessert – I ended the day with a Double Chocolate High Protein Mighty Muffin with a scoop of peanut butter. Mmm!
