i try to keep my protein intake high (sometimes difficult) and my carbs fairly low...i eat carbs only twice a day...once for breakfast and once right after i work out...i don't count green veggies (green beans, broccoli, etc.) toward my carb count for the day...i keep my fats moderate and "good"...my energy seems pretty low though...may need to reevaluate...

? for Daisy girl

What does a typical day look like on your clean diet??

 

[jenscats5]

Daisy -- yes, can you post up an example day?

I agree with you about the needing variety, etc being psychological. I still haven't gotten over it yet. There's a lot of stuff I've eliminated, but still have a way to go.

Oh & I saw your pics & you look awesome!!!!!!!!!! Way to go!!

Sample Day....this is my "base" diet, I take this and tweak it a little day to day. Everyday can be a little different depending on my activity level and how I feel. But these are the foods I eat, the actual potions may vary a bit. If I am hungrier one day, I'll add another meal of meat and veggies.

I do AM cardio and lift 3x a week. I always have a post-workout shake with GPlenish after weight workouts and interval workouts.

Meal 1:
1/2 cup Cream of Wheat with cinnamon and splenda
1 whole egg, 5 egg whites OR Protein Shake w/ GPlenish

Meal 2:
Protein Shake or Bar (Bar is not the best choice, but whatever!)

Meal 3:
4oz Lean Eye of Round (I am on a red meat kick!)
Green Beans or Salad (no limit)
Almonds

Meal 4:
Protein Shake w/ GPlenish

Meal 5:
4oz Turkey
Green Beans or Salad (no limit)

Meal 6:
Protein Shake w/ GPlenish OR 1 whole egg, 5 egg whites
Low-Carb Tortilla
Natty PB

The diet varies on the need. If I you need to drop quick or are you talking about a lifestyle eating routine?

LOL. That's great!!!! I agree 100%. I love food and would prefer to just eat in moderation. I am going to try some sort of diet soon though (just to see if I can do it). Probably just attempt a lower calorie, slightly lower carb diet of some sort.
