Get In My Belly!

Lately I've had a fair amount of people ask for a post about what I eat during a typical day, and what I choose off menu's when I go out to eat. 
This post is all about that!
Ask and you shall receive!

If you follow me on instagram, then you probably seen some of these pictures before, so sorry for the repeats.

Eating Out
*Mexican Restaurants- fajitas with out the tortilla's, chicken taco salad with out the shell, vegetarian enchilada's. 
*Subway - 6inch Veggie delight with pepper jack cheese and southwest chipotle sauce on wheat bread with baked chips OR English muffin with egg whites,bacon, green peppers and american cheese for breakfast.
*IHOP- Garden Omelet with turkey bacon and fresh fruit or whole wheat crepes.
*Chili's - Something off of the fit menu
*Chinese Restaurants- Vegetarian Egg rolls, general tso's chicken, sweet and sour chicken and Crab rangoon.
McDonalds- Kid's 4 piece chicken nugget meal with no sauce.



These are just some of the examples of things I eat. I try to make smart choices that are going to be filling for me and full of good clean nutrients.

When we go out to eat if the nutritional facts aren't available at the restaurant  I look them up online on my phone.  

I don't have a set "cheat" day, but if I'm really, really craving something, I let myself have it in moderation. Like the other day I really wanted some peanut butter M&M's (my favorite!!!) So I had some. Because I did it in moderation and listened to my body, I avoided a binge later on. The hubby and I also share small shakes or root beer floats every now and then. (he eats pretty healthy himself)

I'm also cautious not to eat to late into the evening and to eat with in 30 minutes of waking up.

As for drinks I drink lots of water, unsweet tea, flavored water, skim milk, Bolthouse Farm drinks and vitamin water zero.

Bon appétit!!

    1. I loosely aim between 1200 & 1700, but I don't count fruits and vegetables as calories. Those are my "freebies" because they are filled with things that are good for your body, so why limit then?!?

  2. Chickken salad- chicken breats chopped and mixed with non-fat plain greek yogurt, chopped onions and celery, garlic salt. Eat in a tortilla or pita or with crackers. I sometimes add avocado and/or tomatoes on top. Hubby and the kids often steal my bowl full out of the fridge!
