A day in the life of...

Some of you have asked what kinds of things I eat every day and my eating schedule and more about my workout schedule... This is my work-week schedule... on the weekends it looks the same but I normally eat out on Friday or Saturday (but eat out = a save healthy option at a restaurant)

Breakfast at 6:45/7 AM - one of 2 things (I switch it out so I don't get bored with one thing):
 - Ezekiel Bread, toasted with 1/2 cup of mixed greens on top and 1 fried egg on top of that (over medium)
- Ezekiel Bread, toasted with 1/2 TBS of creamy almond butter, and 1/2 cup chopped strawberries on top

I try really hard to drink a glass of water with breakfast because I have a hard time getting in my 8 cups of water/day.

AM Snack at 10:20 AM (dictated by school schedule): 1 cup of plain fat-free yogurt with 1/2 cup of strawberries and 2 squares of 70% dark chocolate broken in tiny pieces & sometimes 1.5 TBS crushed walnuts

Lunch at 12:30 PM: 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa and some form of mixed cooked veggies and black beans (this week = sauteed grape tomatoes, onion, garlic in evoo + roasted butternut squash and black beans and quinoa) - I also switch out brown rice or barley for the quinoa sometimes

PM Snack at 3:30 PM - this one changes a lot - but I do some protein/veggie mix or protein/fruit mix - it depends on my fruit intake for the day (if I've had fruit for bfast and AM snack, I have veggies instead in PM) - 1 of the following:
- Carrot sticks and almond butter (sounds weird, but is tasty)
- 1/2 apple and almond butter
- Celery sticks and almond butter
- 1/2 banana and almond butter
- Tuna salad - made with yogurt, celery, and mustard (the yogurt = plain fat free)
     (I'm not big on tuna salad and can't eat it for a meal because I don't really eat that much, but as a
      snack, I'm okay with it)

Dinner after workout (M-Th = 7:45 & F = 6:45)
2 cups of mixed greens, with some kind of salady-like veggies, evoo and S&P, and a protein - either 4 oz of chicken or salmon

For the most part, I try and get my grains in by lunch and don't eat grains after lunch and for dinner I try to eat proteins and veggies and zero grains.

We also can't have more than 2 servings of fruit per day... there are other things we need to have and not have, but I think that's enough for today :)
