What I Ate Wednesday – Macro Edition

By

Hi, guys! Happy Hump Day!

So, I heard a rumor that you like to see what I eat in a day. And, truthfully, I also love to see what other people eat because it always gives me great ideas for my own food choices. And since macros are SO HOT right now, I wanted to share the macro breakdown of each of my meals and snacks. I don’t have any set number goals for them, but I try my best to make sure each is somewhat balanced between protein, carbs, and fat. I find those to be the most satisfying.

This particular day was this past Monday, so you’ll see lots of Thanksgiving leftovers and some extra chocolate because my blog was attacked by malware for the second time in one week. I was feeling stressed and frustrated, so I decided to, well, eat my feelings. I mean, hey, some days chocolate (and wine) are what get me though the day! 🙂

Post-Workout: Iced coffee with collagen, Maple Water, and half & half

Breakfast: Banana Protein Pudding (recipe below)

Lunch: Crockpot Turkey Chili (Designed to Fit Nutrition recipe)

Snack: Halos, UnReal PB Cups with Crispy Quinoa & Trader Joe’s Harvest Blend Herbal Tea

Dinner: Thanksgiving leftovers – roasted turkey, sweet potato casserole, carrots, and spinach

Dessert: Trader Joe’s Bamba

Totals: P 106 C 162 F 67 

Quick note about my macro totals: When planning my eats for the day, I keep a general macro range in mind, but I don’t make myself crazy trying to “hit my macros.” If I’m within 10g (over or under), I’m good. I try to stick to a 30/40/30 (P/C/F) breakdown during the week, but I rarely ever track my macros on the weekend because YOLO.

Banana Protein Pudding

Ingredients:

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 scoops (20g) collagen (or protein powder)
  • 2 tbsp creamy nut butter (I think Teddie works best!)
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

Directions: Place ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl. Nuke for 45 seconds. Mix ingredient together until smooth. Eat!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If you’re looking for a one-stop shop to organize your digital life, check out Evernote! Here’s my Evernote review and all the great features you can use to make your thoughts, notes, and files easy to find, sort, and save.  This post is sponsored by Evernote .  Raise your hand if your digital life feels cluttered. If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
