What I Eat in a Day (Regular Macro)

 Happy Thursday, friends! Today I'm sharing with you everything I eat in a regular macro day (HIGH carb, LOW fat).

In case you missed it, I shared a "What I Eat in a Day" Low Carb edition on Tuesday, plus a little about FasterWay!

Though I do love a low carb day, I am always so ready for CARBS come Wednesday Morning!! Now, everyday isn't always the same of course, but my breakfast is usually eggs, protein pancakes/oatmeal, or some kind of breakfast sandwich. I like to eat a pretty heavy breakfast. 

I started out with coffee and a few tablespoons of vanilla nutpods.

Once I broke my fast, I had a bowl of this protein oatmeal. It's not my favorite thing to eat, because it honestly doesn't have that much protein in my opinion, but I had one pack left and decided to eat it on this day. 

Then I had grapes, which are my FAVORITE way to get in a bunch of good carbs!! 

Cheese for fat and protein! Yes, I had all three. Usually low carb days are all about all. the. cheese. But I was low on fats and protein this day, and this was an easy way to get them both in.

Yogurt is a fave of mine of regular macro days! These little 4oz containers are great snack with a good amount of carbs and protein. 

For lunch, I had leftover spicy turkey bowls. If I had needed more carbs, I would've added rice or quinoa, but I was all good there. I also had an Olipop! It has a few carbs and fiber, so I save it for higher carb days. If I need a "fun" drink on a low carb day I go for La Croix, which is also fast friendly.

I love love love these protein bars for good carbs and protein! 

About two hours later, I had a protein shake on the go. I was getting in soooo many carbs and so little protein, so a shake helped me up my protein a good bit! 

For dinner we had Trader Joe's heart shaped pasta with their Calabrian chili pasta sauce. Cute, festive, easy, delish 🙂.

I also had a pretty generous glass of this wine (also from Trader Joe's).

And I even had room for one of these truffles!!

See, don't I eat A TON??? When I first started FWTFL, I really had to figure out how to space out what I eat. For me personally, as soon as I'm done with breakfast, I have to eat my first snack, and I usually eat at least one of my snacks with my lunch. And of course snacks in between breakfast and lunch and then between lunch and dinner. I try not to eat anything extra with my dinner or after, but I still had wine left after I ate on this day, so I went ahead and ate that truffle since I still had some room in my macros and couldn't start my fast quite yet. When I'm done with my last bite or sip, I immediately begin my fast. 

Thanks for reading! Have a fabulous Thursday!!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {6.6.25}

 Happy Friday, friends!! How was your week? One of my summer classes started this week, so I have been getting back into a bit of a routine which is nice! As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from the week.  How cute is our new wreath sash?? My mom got it for us, and I am obsessed! Lots of food faves this week.... Another salsa I am now obsessed with! I found this at Aldi, and y'all it is SO good! I used it in a recipe, but I am definitely going to get another jar to eat for a snack or with lunch or dinner! Now for a Tik Tok "recipe". I used quotations, because it's really just a chop/open a can and throw together situation. Corn, black beans, pinto beans, onion, tomato, cilantro. I ate it with tortilla chips for lunch this week. It was so good! Next time, I would add more tomato and use less onion (maybe even no onion at all), and I should have chopped up the cilantro a little better! I also squeezed in some lime juice and added salt a...

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...
