Tomorrow is my off day - no training, so I cut back on my carbs a little since I won't be needing the extra energy (calories). Here is what I'll be having!
Meal 1:
6 egg whites, with spinach and mushrooms and 1/8c 2% milkfat cheese, 3tbsp of whole grain Cream of Wheat (3tbsp dry, turns into about 1/2c cooked) with cinnamon and stevia, and a cup of coffee with a tbsp of real dairy creamer.
Meal 2:
1/2 scoop of vanilla Iso 100 protein, 1/2c of Greek yogurt, 1tbsp milled flax seed, 1/4c strawberries (all mixed together), and a rice cake.
Meal 3:
Sandwich with 4oz of chicken breast, 1 slice of Ezekiel bread, romaine lettuce, and 1tsp of evoo.
Meal 4:
Stir fry! 4.5oz of chicken breast, 1/3c of brown rice, 1c of brocolli, 2tsp evoo, and 1tbsp of low sodium soy sauce.
Meal 5:
4oz turkey burger
100 calorie pack of Emerald Cocoa Roast almonds (my favorite! I'll have to cut them out soon, boo.)
That's it! It's not a ton of food tomorrow - lot's of protein! If you are not working out on any given day, you can cut back slightly on your carb intake. Carbs are our body's number one source of energy, so they are essential when we are working out, as well as everyday activities. I don't recommend a super low-carb or no-carb diet. You need the carbs to fuel your workouts, and when you do introduce your body to carbs, they will more than likely get stored and the weight will come back. It's best to stick to good, clean carbs, and be mindful of your serving sizes!
