Happy Tuesday, friends! I have mentioned a few times that I started the FasterWay to Fat Loss at the beginning of the year, and today I'm sharing what I eat in a day to hit my macro goals.
My personal macro goals were made specifically for me, my body weight, height, etc., so I won't share my specific goals. I have a coach through FasterWay that is AMAZING!! She answers any questions or concerns I may have, and she checked the goals the app gave me to make sure they were a good fit for me. Macro goals can vary based on lots of different things, especially between men and women, as well as with any special circumstances you may have.
The BEST tip my coach has taught me is to plan ahead!! I plug everything I'm going to eat into my FasterWay app every morning, and that helps SO MUCH! Plus, this keeps me from walking back and forth from the fridge to the pantry with no idea what to eat. I also like to write down what I'm planning to eat, so I can cross it off as I eat it.
Mondays and Tuesdays are low carb days and Tuesdays-Sundays are regular macro days. Low carb days mean LOW carb, HIGH fat! I actually really love low carb days! But come Wednesdays, I am ready for a carb!! Protein goals stay the same every day.
So, here's a low carb day for me! I follow a 16/8 fast. So, eat for 8 hours, fast for 16.
I always start the day with coffee. Some days I drink black coffee, but most days I have 2-3 tablespoons of nutpods and a packet of truvia. Neither of those will break your fast (just stay under 50calories with the nutpods!).
I broke my fast at 9:50 on this day, and I had one of these gluten free sandwiches. Low in carb and high in fat and protein!
I also had a protein shake with breakfast. I'm really liking this one from Aldi. I mixed the powder with milk for extra protein. Depending on where I'm at with my goals, I like to add peanut or almond butter to my shakes.
For lunch, I had tuna salad. I was so ready to eat that I forgot to get a picture 😂. I did one small can of tuna, one hard boiled egg, mayo, mustard, salt and pepper, crushed red pepper, and garlic and herb seasoning (all to taste). I just ate it plain, but on a regular macro day I would eat it on bread.
I had this little snack plate around 3pm. I ate all of this except for one of the cheeses. Olives are my favorite way to get in fats on a low carb day!
For a little treat, I ate some of this dark chocolate bark from TJ's.
And for dinner I made this recipe, but with turkey instead of beef (and no rice). I added spicy mayo for a little extra fat.
Usually, I would do breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, but this day was a little crazy, so I just had a bigger afternoon snack. Later this week, I'll document what I eat on a regular macro day (HIGH carb, LOW fat!).
Have a great Tuesday!
