Popsugar Health & Fitness Healthy Living What I Eat in a Day Photo Food Journal We're Giving You Permission to See What Other People Eat in a Day 2 May 2018 by Jenny Sugar If you're into tracking your calories or macros using an app like MyFitnessPal, taking photos of your meals and snacks will help you remember what you ate. It'll also keep you accountable for every single bite! Curious to know what other people eat or need some new meal ideas? Peek into the food diaries of other health-minded eaters and get inspired to post your own pics tagged with #whatieatinaday. You guys have loved every time I’ve posted my food dairies before so I’m doing it again for you!! 🤤 Dietitians are just like normal people - we like delicious & wholesome food plus treats too but all in moderation 🤓So here it is, a visual of my #eeeeats !! 👀 . . Meal 1: Choc & vanilla layered chia pudding with blueberries & a cup of ginger & lemon tea Meal 2: Veggie sticks with hummus (I actually didn’t eat them all - they defeated me 😆) + medium soy Capp bought from cafe & a few mixed nuts (not pictured) Meal 3: Bought cafe brunch - poached eggs, greens, haloumi, walnuts 😎 + cup of black tea Meal 4: Pre gym snack 2 hours before gym sess - Grain toast with home made Nutella topped with fruit (carbs pre workout = life 💁🏻♀️) + cup of tea Meal 5: Post gym - Home made pita bread pizza with lotsssss of veggies & a protein shake (I was too lazy to eat protein on my pizza) + cup herbal tea Meal 6: White choc & butter bean protein muffin (recipe on my website - click the link in my bio) . . As I've mentioned many times before, I don't count calories daily - I try to eat intuitively most days but still have a good understand of the macros my body needs each day without tracking. If I find I'm losing/gaining weight or muscle (depending on my goals) then I'll track my calories & macros for 2-3 days every few months to get myself back on track but as a generally guide I just eat whole foods, as much colour as possible & a good balance of low GI carbs, protein & healthy fats from mostly whole food sources 😁 . . I know you guys are going to ask me so I'll beat you to it - If I had to estimate I'd say I probably consume roughly 2000-2200 cals a day (I'm 6ft tall & train 5 days a week 💪🏼) & I eat slightly less on non training days & reduce my carb intake slightly & increase my fat intake slightly to keep me a bit fuller on days off 🙊👌🏼✨ Ask me any questions about my meals below but remember I can't give you specific advice about how many calories you should eat (see a local dietitian for this!) but feel free to ask me generic questions about my meals, ingredients or routine 💗 #fooddiary #mealprep #healthyfood #nutrition #weightloss #cleaneating A post shared by Leanne Ward 🌻Here To Inspire (@the_fitness_dietitian) on Jan 17, 2018 at 2:41am PST 1 / 13 ✨When people tell me motivation is lacking, I get it. I have trouble building habits too. . ✨I have the same issue not with meal prep, but with exercise. But the root of the issue is exactly the same! . ✨Meal prep can look really overwhelming and intimidating- there’s lots of steps and it takes time. And I takes WEEKS to see any kind of results... same with exercise. . ✨I have a hard time getting to the gym these days and I don’t like it. I’ve been skipping workouts to do actual work because I see results from client work immediately! I put in a few hours and boom, the project is done and I can move on. . ✨Meal prep and exercise are different. The results aren’t immediate. In the beginning it feels like SO MUCH effort. It’s easier to just... not. . ✨The truth is... it doesn’t take that long to get good at either one. It doesn’t take long to totally fall in love with the process. I KNOW this. All we have to focus on are the baby steps - not easy to do when we focus hard on the result. . ✨I’m just as intimidated by the gym as you might be of meal prep if you’re just starting out. My exercise is SO inconsistent that I feel like I’m always “just starting out” even though I’ve been going to the gym for 10 years now! . ✨I like to keep it real here - my nutrition and eating are on point and that’s why I’ve been able to stay the same weight for 3 years (I’m not trying to lose) but I can TELL when my body needs to move more. It’s not about weight for me it’s about QUALITY OF LIFE. . 👇🏼If you made it this far, tell me if you can relate! A post shared by Talia Koren (@workweeklunch) on Feb 15, 2018 at 5:46am PST 2 / 13 Food diary ~ 2400 kcal C300 P130 F70 . This is what I ate yesterday, I take a flexible dieting approach and pretty much just track my way through the day. I don’t follow a set meal plan but try and fill my meals with nutrient dense whole foods and make sure I roughly hit my macros. . The calories and macros for this diary suits my goals at the moment but will not work for everyone. If you are unsure how many calories you should be consuming and what macros will help you reach your goals then check out my YouTube channel where I share all the info you need to get your nutrition on track, link is always in my bio ☝️ The food ideas here can always be adjusted to suit your goals, no food is off limits 🙌 A post shared by Kathryn Gray | Blonde Health (@blonde.health) on Feb 5, 2018 at 11:14am PST 3 / 13 Hi! Here is my FOOD DIARY from yesterday. 1531cal. Protein: 91, carbs: 173, fat: 51 It was a little difficult to take pictures and count, but I tried and did it! Do you like this food diary format?

Check out the different ways I’m eating my veggies today - in a salad, roasted in a pasta, in a veggie soup and in a stir fry. 🌱 . Don’t think that salads are the only way to get eat your veggies! 🥗 . A post shared by Nicole Osinga, RD, MAN, BASc (@nicoleosinga_rd) on Feb 15, 2018 at 3:59am PST 5 / 13 🤗Here’s a vegetarian food diary from this weeks prep! 👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼Swipe LEFT for the Mexican quinoa recipe or grab it (and the lasagna recipe) at workweeklunch.com! . 🤔I get asked if I’m vegan a lot- and I’m not. I eat dairy and meat a couple times a week BUT I looooove cooking vegan. I’ve learned to love it through meal prep! . 😩I’ve tried eating strictly vegan for weeks at a time but it doesn’t make me feel good. 😋That said, cooking vegan is easy, cheap, fast and most importantly DELISH. . ❓Are you meal prepping this weekend? I can’t wait to whip up some new ideas for you and make some cooking videos! 🤳🏻Catch the action on Sunday on my stories. A post shared by Talia Koren (@workweeklunch) on Feb 9, 2018 at 10:21am PST 6 / 13 What I eat in a day ☺️ haven’t done one of these in a while, and have been getting heaps of questions with regards to nutrition and my diet. I haven’t really been tracking macros seriously, and have been following a slightly more intuitive eating approach. My full day of eating: 1.🍓 Breakfast: 2 slices of 100% rye bread, egg white omelette filled with spinach, feta cheese, and spicy mexican beans and corn . Topped with avocado and chopped tomatoes. 2.🍓Lunch: Homemade bowl made with miso glazed egg plant, sautéed kale and spinach, avocado with sesame seeds, and baked falafels ( with hummus dipping sauce- unpictured) 3.🍓Snack 1: chocolate smoothie bowl made with pea protein, chai seeds, maca and honey. Topped with mango, matcha granola and a home-made raw almond brownie 4.🍓Dinner: homemade bowl with vanilla cinnamon butternut, steamed broccoli and green beans, sautéed chili spinach, grilled aubergine coins, and BBQ steak strips cut up. 5.🍓 Snack 2: 1 small square of my walnut, date and honey squares. Served with a warm vanilla almond milk chai latte. For the entire day I ate 1998 calories (which is around my maintenance)🤗 To feel good, you have to eat well!
