Today I thought I would share with you a sample day of what I ate to reflect a typical day during my Clean Eating Challenge. The challenge starts Monday February 16th so email me if you would like to join! (kgfitnessllc@gmail.com) I tried to be as detailed as possible so you can get an idea of my portion sizes. Normally I just eat whatever I want but make sure that it’s healthy, but tracking portion sizes is what really made the difference for me. It is so easy for me to eat 2 spoons of peanut butter or a couple extra scoops of anything like nuts, but keep in mind it all adds up. You can easily over eat healthy foods!

I am linking up with Jenn for another WIAW (What I ate Wednesday) post.

First things first. I always get up and chug a large glass of water. It gets me going and staying hydrated is so important. I followed it up with a cup of coffee and a splash of milk.

Breakfast was 1 egg + 1 cup egg whites with 3/4 mushrooms & squash. Plus a whole grain english muffin.

Mid morning I had my usual banana

and a leveled teaspoon of peanut butter. Normally I would do a heaping spoonful or two but following my clean eating challenge I had to do it right!

I also had a serving of baby carrots a little later.

Lunch was leftovers. Salmon, a sweet potato & green beans!

With a side of almonds too.

My afternoon snack was a BIG SALAD with 2 cups romainne, 1/4 cup cucumbers, 1/4 cup tomatoes, 1 stalk celery & balsamic and olive oil dressing, salt & pepper

 plus a medium size granny smith apple!

Before Boot Camp I made a quick and easy dinner. Zoodles with a turkey meat sauce. (I had 1 cup zucchini + 1 cup of the meat sauce) This meal came together in 15 minutes flat. Ava devoured hers and I enhaled mine because she ate so fast!

After class I had my Chocolate Shakeology filled to the brim! (1 scoop mix, 1 cup ice, 1 cup water) I am really enjoying the flavor of this shake, and it keeps me full for the night which is a double bonus.

I hope this sample day will help motivate you to keep your foods clean & nutritious! (sorry for the crazy pictures, I’m not a photographer!)

What time of day is the hardest part for you to stick to a healthy eating plan? 

Do you have the willpower it takes to stick to a plan?
