What I Ate: Workout Day Macros

By

I’ve partnered with Pamela’s Products to bring you this blog post. As always, thank you for supporting CNC!

Hi, friends!

I haven’t done one of these Sample Macro Days in a while, so I figured it was about time! I mean, I personally love seeing what other people eat since it gives me ideas for my own meals and snacks. You guys have also said you like these “what I ate in a day” posts, so I’ll keep ’em coming! Ok, here we go… here’s what I ate based on my workout day macros!

Without further ado, here’s what I ate on a recent workout day. As you’ll see, the day is carb heavy and front-loaded. I work out in the morning, so carbs (+ protein) are needed for optimal recovery. I typically aim for a 1:2 ratio of protein to carbs. So, for example, I’ll aim to have about 25g of protein after a workout with 50g of carbs.

Post-workout: Banana with an iced coffee mixed with collagen and coconut creamer

Post-workout: Smoked salmon with roasted sweet potatoes and cucumber slices

Lunch: Air fryer cauliflower gnocchi with baby spinach, marinara sauce with ground turkey and grated Parmesan

Snack: Pamela’s gluten-free pancake with peanut butter, banana slices, and cinnamon

If you didn’t know already, I’m a huge fan of Pamela’s Products, especially their pancake mixes – all of which are gluten-free and delicious! I love the gluten-free Protein Pancake Mix because each serving (as prepared with milk) as has 10 grams of protein. If you’ve tried other pancake mixes on the  market, Pamela’s is much higher in protein in comparison. I’m always trying to get extra protein into my diet, so this mix is an easy and delicious way to do it. I’ve started to make a batch at the start of the week and store them in the fridge for quickie breakfasts and snacks. I typically reheat a pancake or two in the microwave, but sometimes I’ll just eat them cold!

Pamela’s actually makes 7 different varieties of their pancake mixes – all of which are certified gluten-free and made from non-GMO ingredients, including grain-free and dairy-free options, so there’s really something for everyone!

Dinner: Marinated tilapia with sautéed Brussels sprouts, baby spinach and kale

The marinade for the tilapia was made with coconut aminos, extra virgin olive oil, maple syrup, and powdered ginger. I mixed it up and then brushed it on the fish before popping it into the broiler for about 8-10 minutes. It was so easy and so delicious! I actually made an extra piece and then ate it for lunch the next day as a fish sandwich. Mmm!

Dessert: Same as my snack, but I added a few dark chocolate chips! 🙂

Macros for the day: P 121 C 201 F 67

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 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
