I haven’t shared a what I eat in a day or a full day of eating in quite a while. I do work with a macro coach Tara Frazier. She is amazing at what she does! I have been working with her for over 2 years. She bases my meal plans off of what goals I am trying to meet. For the last 5 months I have been struggling with menopause and my thyroid. I have gained back almost all of the weight I lost when I first met Tara. Needless to say I will be writing a blog post about what I have done to help with my menopause symptoms. I have a goal I am trying to reach by June 1. So, Tara has worked my meal plan to help me meet this goal. She changed it up a bit and lowered my carbs and increased my fats. It’s not a Keto plan but she wanted to change up my ratios and things seem to be working! Here is a quick glance at my macros and what I eat in a day.
Protein 120 grams
Fat 57 grams
Carbs 80 grams
The above macros are what I am allowed in a day. I meet these goals by eating a combination of these at my meals and snacks.
Breakfast:
1 Container of Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt. I mix in 10 grams of PB2. I top it off with 15 grams of Bear Naked Fit Granola, 10 grams of nuts and 60 grams of strawberries.
Snack (mid morning):
2 Quaker White Cheddar Rice Cakes topped with 50 grams of deli turkey and 30 grams of avocado.
Lunch:
BBQ Chicken Salad:
75 grams of lettuce, 25 grams of cucumber, 2.2 ounces of chicken, 30 ml of G Hughes Sugar free BBQ sauce mixed with 30 ml of Bolthouse ranch dressing. Top it off with 36 grams of blue cheese or cheddar cheese.
Snack (late afternoon):
Quest chips and 75 grams of baby carrots
Dinner:
Chicken Parmesan and Garden Salad
Top 3 ounces of baked or grilled chicken with 90 grams of Rao Marinara sauce, 28 grams of part skim mozzarella, and 20 grams of parmesan cheese. Serve with 60 grams of lettuce, 4 grape tomatoes, 30 ml of Skinny girl dressing or fat free Italian.
I usually end the night with an herbal tea. Let me know if y’all like seeing these type of posts!
