Diet

Here is a list of my usual "go-to's" for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

Breakfast Options:

Egg White Veggie Omelet (4 egg whites)
1 piece of gluten free Paleo Bread (coconut flavor) w/ cinnamon

*This is usually my breakfast on workout days
**Sometimes to switch it up I will mix how the eggs are prepared. Either as stated above, scrambled (2 yolks 1 white), or Omelet (1 yolk and 2 egg whites).

or

Dannon Light & Fit Greek Vanilla Yogurt w/ gluten free granola.
(Granola is from the brand Kind. My fav is the Cinnamon Oat Cluster flavor!)
2 pieces of gluten free Paleo Bread (Almond Flavor) w/ cinnamon

*Typical off day breakfast

Lunch Options:

Gluten free Rice Wrap w/ turkey, Colby Jack Cheese and mustard.

*Wraps are from Trader Joe's

or

Apple w/ Peanut Butter (Gala Apple)

*Depending on how early my day starts, the apple w/ pb will either serve as a morning snack or lunch.

Snack Options:

Think Thin Protein Bar & Coffee.
Cottage Cheese w/ pecans & cinnamon
Sorbet Cups (Costco)
Fruit

Dinner Options:
Honestly dinner is so varied. I usually stick to a general template of a Protein, Carb, Vegetable and about 2-3 days a week a mixed salad.

        Protein Options:
        Chicken
        Salmon
        Pork Tenderloin
        Steak

        Carb Options:
        Sweet Potato
        Baked Potato
        Brown Rice
        Spaghetti Squash (once in a blue moon)

       Vegetable Options:
       Carrots
       Broccoli
       Mixed Grilled Vegetables
       Asparagus
       String Beans
      (I really like any vegetable except for peas so this is the easiest part! I never get tired of vegetables!)


In my family we eat out A LOT for dinner. Cooking isn't our forte. I always say the best thing we know how to make is reservations. :) I have learned that you can still be smart when dining out. Some things I started doing are the following:

1. Ask for dressing on the side
2. Ask them to be very light on the oil.
3. Eat half and take the rest home. If you are still hungry at the restaurant, wait until you get home to choose something to satisfy yourself.
4. Save dessert for once a week when dining out! This used to be my downfall because I was in the mind set that "going out to a restaurant" = dessert is a must.
5. Share desserts...actually who am I kidding, those who know me know that Kim does not share. Go for it, it is once a week. ;)

*These are my rules for dining out during the week. Saturday nights are usually my "free" nights so I let some of the rules slide.
