I am linking up with Jenn to share WIAW (What I ate Wednesday) or in this case what I ate Tuesday.

My morning began with a cup of coffee, 2 eggs served over spinach, 2 pieces of toast, a spoon full of guacamole and blackberries. I try to eat a big breakfast every day so I can power through my day. If I don’t eat a big enough breakfast I feel like my day crumbles and I am constantly hungry.

After training around 10am, I had 1/2 of a leftover baked potato topped with eggs and peppers with some olive oil. It was delicious and eggs always make for a great morning snack.

For lunch I had leftovers again. Are you surprised? Salmon with sliced sweet potatoes and 2 stuffed mushrooms! It was simple & delicious

Also not pictured was a granny smith apple that I had right before lunch!

Around 3pm I veggied out with a big salad. My salad had cucumbers, tomato, celery, carrots, avocado & a red wine vinigarette dressing. Salads are the easiest way for me to add veggies and feel satisfied. (I need my afternoon snack to have veggies because it keeps me full until dinner) I noticed when I have fruit & yogurt or something like that I don’t stay as full.

My pre boot camp fuel was Homemade Chicken Soup with Kale, Celery, & Carrots. I drizzled some olive oil on top and sprinkled some parmesan cheese in the mix.

After Boot Camp class I needed something filling so I had a Protein Shake with almond milk & banana.

I was still hungry so I balanced my snack out with a scoop of peanut butter right out of the jar!

Yum!

What did you eat yesterday that was tasty?

What is your favorite morning snack?

It’s time to share with you my daily eats. I am linking up with Jenn again for a What I ate Wednesday post!!

Yesterday I posted on Tips to eliminate the sugar overload from Halloween, so I stuck with clean eating yesterday and I feel great today.

 

 

I heated it up in the microwave and it tasted like a warm chocolatey brownie 

Now.. on to my food journal from yesterday.

 I need eggs in the morning, but I think I could also use a little more variety too. Every time I try to switch it up and have scrambled eggs, I think to myself “why didn’t I make over easy eggs??” Runny eggs have so much more flavor to me.  You could just say that its my thing, I don’t know what to tell you!….well actually I do. It works with my schedule and more importantly it works with Ava’s! Getting her ready and feeding her in the morning is my priority, and that is why my breakfast has gotten boring. I’m kind of stuck for now, but eventually someone might have to force me to get more creative with my Breakfast!

Here is my breakfast, 2 eggs over easy, some toast and sauteed spinach. I always try to have spinach in the morning because I have low iron.

My toast was a little blah so I ended up sprinkling cinnamon on it! I guess that’s not quite a sprinkle, it came out quite fast.

After training one of my clients in the morning I snacked on a small banana and a Cashew Cookie Larabar. Nothing wild here. Sometimes simple is better, and it certainly was in this case.

My lunch consisted of Leftover Chicken Francese, Broccoli & Carrots and a 1/2 of a leftover Sweet potato. Chicken francese is not a meal I typically order or like too much.  However in this case, it was left over, it was not my original meal, and I have to admit it was pretty tasty. With a very light breading and just the perfect amount of lemony-ness I wish there was more than the 1 piece.

In the afternoon I wasn’t too hungry but I snacked on an apple with peanut butter, and also a piece of watermelon. Ava’s teeth were bothering her so I had bought her some watermelon to dig her teeth into. Even though it’s fall, this juicy watermelon tasted great.

Normally before Boot Camp class I have something light, but we ate some leftover Beef & Veggie Chili with Avocado stuffed inside an Acorn Squash. It was quite delicious and a little too filling but I loved every bite. (I had twice the amount of chili that is in the acorn squash)

I always eat something after Boot Camp Class.. we burn too many calories not to. I opted for a Protein Shake!

Also not pictured, were some plantain chips that I had with my snack. I forgot to snap a pic!

Are you a fan of leftovers? 

What are some of your go to snacks? 

My breakfast staple is a couple of over easy eggs with sauteed spinach and some potato hashbrowns! Runny eggs have so much flavor! I had a Dunkin coffee too

After training a couple of clients I was quite hungry and snacked on a Banana & Coconut Larabar. It helped keep me full for a bit.

I also Snacked on some carrots & salted cucumbers with hummus… I was clearly still hungry.

Lunch rolled around and I was fortunate for some leftovers from dinner Sunday.. Blackened Salmon, Sweet Potatoes & Green beans. I have been loving salmon lately.. we finally mastered how to cook it!! I took a picture of all the food on one plate but it came out terrible.

With my lunch I had this Mama Chia, Green Magic Pouch. It has pretty good flavor!

It was a very “SNACKY” day on my part… what Marc likes to call my grazing days. I had a Macintosh Apple with some peanut butter for another snack.

Dinner was Chicken Cacciatore with some Pasta & a side of Broccoli. Mmmmmm

After boot camp I whipped up a Pumpkin Pie Protein shake. I was quite impressed! It may have been just a tad bit too “pumpkiny” so I may need to tweak the spices a bit before I share the recipe.

That’s a wrap…

what did you eat? Do you ever have snacky days?
