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!!
