"I don't count calories or macros. It stressed me out too much," Danielle shared. But here's an example of what she eats in a day:
Pre-workout: 2 hard boiled eggs, half a banana with peanut butter
Post-workout: Beachbody chocolate recover shake (130 calories, 20 grams protein)
Breakfast (2 hours post-workout): Shakeology with tons of spinach
Lunch: turkey meatballs, with green beans and carrots, brown rice, and some fruit
Snack: Protein bar (BEACHBARS being my favourite or a Peanut Butter LARABAR) with some carrots and Greek yoghurt dip, and some kind of fruit.
Dinner: "This varies but as a family we typically have a protein, a fibre-filled carb, and veggies! An example would be chicken, broccoli or a salad, and sweet potatoes.
She adds in healthy fats throughout the day including avocado, olive oil, and a bit of coconut oil to her shakes. Danielle shared, "I try to allow myself a treat each week to thoroughly enjoy and I drink a Dunkin' Donuts Iced Tea every day! It keeps me from binge-eating on things my body doesn't need."
