Every Sunday, Sydney decides on a breakfast, lunch, and dinner option for the week. She explained, "I eat the same thing for every meal throughout the week, and found it just works for my lifestyle." By removing any sort of choice from the equation, Sydney has been able to shift the way she views food to a more systematic and fuel-based approach as opposed to an emotional decision.
Here's an example of what she eats in a day:
Breakfast: One cup of black coffee, two scrambled eggs with fresh peppers and other vegetables mixed in, and three ounces of fruit, usually blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries.
Lunch: This is where Sydney tries to incorporate the most variety to keep it interesting. She starts with four ounces of ground turkey or chicken as a base. She mixes up the flavours by doing an Asian stir-fry with broccoli slaw and soy sauce, a do-it-yourself burrito-style bowl, or an Italian version with veggie noodles. She pairs that with a portion of fruit and another vegetable side (carrot, celery, or pepper sticks). "The key to my lunches is adding fillers — vegetable noodles, broccoli slaw, or excess lettuce — to make the meals feel larger and more filling," Sydney said.
Dinner: Four ounces of ground turkey or chicken as the base with two vegetable sides of choice, with at least one more starchy vegetable to fill her up after a workout. "I don't prep with any sauce at all. I add that the day of to give me the choice of flavour such as mustard, sugar-free BBQ, or salsa."
Snacks: RXBar or Kombucha beverage. "I'll also typically eat a yoghurt and one serving of almonds during the day."
For drinks, she incorporates both still and sparkling water.
