This week I chose to track what I ate on Monday. Donny went grocery shopping on Saturday for me so I didn’t have to go Sunday. He bought a ton of veggies and I was not mad about it! He grilled all the veggies this week including green beans, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, eggplant, and carrots. I made a grilled veggie salad for dinner Sunday night and it was fantastic! I highly recommend it. Alright, here is everything I ate on Monday.
4:30am – Preworkout:
1 liter of water – half plain, the other half mixed with 1 scoop MusclePharm Assualt (fruit punch). 1 BCAA capsule pre-workout, 1 post-workout.
I also had 1/4 cup 1% cottage cheese mixed with 1/4 scoop MusclePharm Isolate Protein (chocolate).
6:30m – Meal #1:
I made a homemade breakfast burrito for breakfast. I found some tortillas at Walmart that are amazing! These are super soft and so delicious. They are surprisingly clean and have a ton of fiber. They are Ole Extreme Wellness High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla Wraps. They have whole wheat, spinach, and tomato I believe and they are delicious. The high fiber ones only have 50 calories!
I cooked 1 large egg + 5 large egg whites in a small saute pan using 1 tsp coconut oil. I microwaved 50 grams of cooked zucchini (grilled over the weekend) with 2 Tbsp 505 Green Chile Sauce. I took 1 tortilla and filled it with about 1/2 the egg mixture and topped it with the zucchini-green chile mixture. I smashed 1 oz avocado on the tortilla and put some Cholula on top. I wrapped that up and served the remaining eggs on the side with some leftover zucchini and green chile. It was so good! I love breakfast burritos and these tortillas are perfect for this!
9:30am – Meal #2:
I made some banana-coconut oatmeal cups over the weekend using mashed banana, quick oats, and toasted coconut. They came out really well! I packed one of those with 4 egg whites, 1/3 scoop MusclePharm Isolate Protein (vanilla) mixed with water and 1 Tbsp Nuts ‘n More Toffee Crunch Peanut Butter. It was a great snack!
12:20pm – Meal #3:
I made some turkey meatballs over the weekend and flavored them with sriracha and a few other ingredients. They are honestly not my best meatball recipe! I will eat them though…. I had three turkey meatballs, 1/2 serving red lentil pasta (2.5 oz cooked weight), 100 grams broccoli, and 35 grams cooked carrots.
3:45pm – Meal #4:
5 oz cooked chicken, 2.2 oz green beans, 50 grams eggplant, 1/2 braeburn apple (63 grams) with the skin topped with 3/4 Tbsp raw almond butter.
6:15pm – Pre-dinner Snack
I wanted to play around with a new recipe for mozzarella bites so I made some before dinner. They turned out good! I used two sticks on string cheese, almond flour, egg white, and whole wheat bread crumbs. They came out to a rough 10 calories per bite (I say rough because I’m not entirely sure how much flour and breadcrumbs ended up on the cheese). I had seven of these mozzarella bites.
6:40pm – Meal #5:
Dinner was good, but not very colorful! Donny grilled some bone-in pork chops, sweet potatoes, and acorn squash. I tried to make sweet potato ribbons using my spiralizer, but they did not turn out right. They were actually more like chips! I had 4 oz pork, 50 grams sweet potato, and 125 grams acorn squash (I did not eat the skin). I also had about 1 Tbsp yellow mustard to dip the pork into. I estimated using about 1/4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil per serving on the squash (drizzled prior to grilling).
My total calories according to My Fitness Pal were 1,646. I consumed 174 grams protein (1 under my goal), 129 grams carbs (2 under my goal), and 61 grams fat (3 over my goal). Not bad AND I have a new recipe idea for the blog! Keep an eye out.
