Sample Macro Day + Workouts to Try [Volume 6]

By

Hi, friends!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🙂 Ours was really nice, and I’ll have a recap on CNC soon, but I wanted to pass along some #motivation for getting back on track after the holiday. I haven’t done one of these sample macro days in awhile, so I figured it was the perfect time to share. I hope the eats and workouts inspire some of yours this week!

Breakfast – I tossed together a  quick breakfast filled with baby spinach, 2 eggs, and a side of broccoli tots.

Snack – Before hitting the gym, I grabbed a rice cake and topped it with a tablespoon of whipped cream cheese + Trader Joe’s Carrot Cake Spread. Mmm! It was such a tasty combo!

Lunch – Post-workout, I was hungry and tossed together a rather random lunch with lots of veggies, including greens, pickled veggies, cauliflower rice, parsnips, chicken, hummus, and some spicy harissa.

Snack – I was still a bit hungry by the time the afternoon rolled around, so I whipped up a yogurt bowl. In the mix: Kite Hill’s Greek Style Almond Yogurt with crunchy granola.

Dinner – Dinner turned out a little ugly, but so so delicious and high in protein! It was a can of tuna mixed with relish and Dijon mustard on top of gluten-free bread with melted cheddar. It was so good!

Snack – To round out the day, I enjoyed 1/2 a sliced banana with Teddie Peanut Butter and a few dark chocolate chips.

Workouts to Try

Sprint for the Hills – Ready to see your heart rate skyrocket? This hilly (or incline treadmill) workout will have your legs and lungs burning in the best of ways!

8-Minute Tabata Finisher – This is a great workout to add on to the end of a strength session or as a stand-alone one when you are short on time. All you need is a timer and 8-minutes for this total body workout!

Total Body Dumbbell Ladder Workout – Start with 5 reps for round 1, 10 reps for round 2, and keep going up the ladder!

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
