People ask me all the time what I eat.
Here is the typical meal plan that I follow throughout the week.
Note: What I don’t eat while I am doing a 20 day Challenge
Dairy
Alcohol
Sauces
Actually, there are other things I don’t eat…see below.
Basically, if it’s not on my menu listed here, I don’t eat it. So, while almond milk is good for you and so is whole grain cereal, I just don’t eat it. It works for me and it doesn’t mean you have to or should do that. If you eat from the top two tiers of Michi’s Ladder, you’re good to go. If you want to achieve elite fitness, then, yea, MAYBE you have to give up certain things. Again, this is what works for ME. I do not feel deprived. I’m a pretty boring person who doesn’t mind repetition.
I do allow myself one cheat meal per week. That means that I do eat dairy, but ONLY during that cheat meal. I *may* or may not have ONE glass of wine with my cheat meal.
Hope’s Meal Plan:
(about 1400 to 1600 calories, more or less. I haven’t counted lately)
Workout
(about one hour in the morning, depending on what program)
Breakfast:
Snack:
(2 hours later)
2 brown rice cakes
1 tsp reduced fat ALL natural Peanut Butter on each
Lunch:
(30 mins of Cardio)
veggies
protein: 6 ounces of chicken, fish, eggs. Here is where you need to vary it up. Try different veggies, different fish, spices, etc.
Snack:
P90X protein bar
Dinner:
1 or 2 cup of veggies and protein (Again, vary it up!) about 6 ounces
Note: You can use Shakeology for different reasons. If you’re using it as a weight-loss supplement, you can replace one of your meals with Shakeology. Just add almond milk and water. I tend to use it as both a meal replacement and a recovery drink. You choose!
