What I Ate in a Day 2019
I got a recent request for more food pics on Instagram. I talk a LOT about needing to eat more…and for some people, seeing it played out in photos seems to help. So here’s a full day of eating!
Note: this is definitely a lower-calorie day for me. My appetite fluctuates due to several factors, including menstrual cycle and exercise routine. (This is one of the reasons why I would never force myself to adhere to a specific calorie intake every single day!!)
I didn’t do a hard workout on this day (just a 4 mile walk outdoors), but I do tend to have a bigger appetite on the days I lift heavy or do HIIT. Learn about feeding your body appropriately for high intensity workouts.
The days I eat more typically look the same, but with the addition of the following:
Bar before workout—my current faves are Bulletproof and Rx Bar.
Maybe a starch with lunch or dinner (potato, sweet potato variety, beans, etc.)
This Avocado Chocolate Pudding after dinner. I’m gonna be honest: I eat this most nights.
6:15AM
Wake up (look in the mirror say wassup)
6:30AM
Large glass of water
Coffee — organic, fair trade, dark roast, pour over, ALWAYS. Blended with 1 teaspoon coconut oil.
8:00AM - BREAKFAST
I pretty much make this exact smoothie for breakfast every single day. I’m weirdly obsessed with it.
1 cup frozen cauliflower rice
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 avocado
Handful baby spinach
1 scoop Equip grassfed beef isolate protein powder
1 scoop collagen - I use this brand (use code FUNK for 20% off)
1 scoop Clearvite powder
2 teaspoons maca powder
Cinnamon
Here, I served it in old ice coffee cup because it was the perfect size (16 ounces).

1:30PM
Homemade Coffee Elixir made with Coyote River Hemp Co. CBD Cold Brew
I don’t always have 2 coffees (it’s not great for my adrenals), but wanted a little extra focus for a project I was working on.

Salad with mixed greens, shredded carrots, shredded apple and dressing with olive oil, fresh lemon juice and sea salt.
