Dine With Me

I was asked what my meal plan is like during a typical week, so I am going to give you all a little peek into my diet. Keep in mind that every person has different caloric needs, so this wont necessarily work for everyone, but it has been working for me:)

I generally eat the same meals every day for a week, because I am currently in competition prep. It might seem a bit 'boring', but all the meals that I eat are quite yummy:)

I take a multivitamin daily...I would recommend this for anyone and everyone. It is rare for a person to hit all of their vitamin and mineral needs every day without this (especially people who have a typical 'American diet').

SO. Here is my dining for the day:)

8:00 PM Snack 3

1.5 cup Lentil Vegetable Soup
Mrs. Dash Sodium Free Seasoning
~227 calories: 24 g carb, 2 g fat, 37 g pro

Total: 1888 calories: 170 g carb (~35%), 55 g fat (~25%), 202 g pro (~45%)

That's it! I will occasionally switch out some of my meals to add some variety, but when I switch my meals I am generally moving around food items from each meal (so swapping my sweet potatoes with my rice). As long as I keep it clean and keep my calories and macros the same, I don't worry too much. Drinking a lot of water is a big deal, too. At least 1 gallon daily (~3.5 L). Don't skimp on water. It helps to curb cravings and enhances immunity. Your body needs water.

So, there you are.  A typical day (week) for me right now:) I have other meal plans that I follow during different weeks, but this is what I am currently eating. Take it for what it's worth:)
