I guess this is “What I Ate Tuesday” but I can’t really talk about what I am eating today because I am only one meal in. I eat just about the same breakfast and lunch everyday so really, 2/3rds of this post is “What I Ate Wednesday.”

Breakfast

Pre gym, I take my vitamins and supplements. I take a multivitamin, calcium, biotin and an Omega-3.

Post gym, I am usually really hungry. My go-to breakfast is two Eggo® Nutri-Grain® waffles with almond butter and a cup of Caramel Apple Spice tea. Now that I have a solid morning routine its just easier (and more cost effective Iv’e found) to have the same thing every day. I am sure there will come a day where I change it up but for now loving my breakfasts.

Calorie Count: 325 (I have been counting calories using MyFitnessPal not to lose weight but to keep an eye on nutrients and because it’s interesting!)

AM Snack

By 10:30 I am usually starving. Today I had 1/2 of grapefruit and three slices of cracked pepper turkey. There is usually a cup (or two) of coffee happening around this time as well.

Calorie Count: 78

Lunch

Pretty much everyday I have a big salad with any and everything I can find to add in. This salad was a beast. Baby kale, baby spinach, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli slaw and sweet potatoes. I also throw in a piece of boneless, skinless chicken thigh that was left over from dinner on Sunday night.

I also had my current favorite dressing on the salad: Briana’s Real French Vinaigrette (note the empty bottle).

PM Snack

On the train home I munched on my second snack of the day, my favorite trail mix from Whole Foods, Berry Bounty. This has almonds, cranberries, raisins, cashews, blueberries, walnuts and raspberries. Yum!

Calorie Count: 130

Dinner

Turkey Burger Sliders! This was a fun meal to make. I got the inspiration for these from a recipe in my inbox from Blue Apron. My version omitted a few ingredients, substituted a few ingredients and added a few ingredients so basically they were nothing like the Blue Apron version. They were the Emily’s Full Plate version!

I had two sliders on an onion ciabatta roll (one roll cut in half), with a mini baby kale salad and steamed asparagus with a drizzle of garlic olive oil on the side.

So good!

Calorie Count: 485

Calorie wise, my day came to just under 1,400 calories with 50% being from carbs, 25% from protein and 25% from fat. The MyFitnessPal app is awesome for tracking everything from calories to cholesterol to calcium!

1,400 calories is a little light for me, especially for a day when I did two work outs (4 mile run in the AM and Barre class after work). But I never felt starving so I listened to my body and ate what I felt was right.

Hope you have a great Wednesday!
