What do I eat?

A lot of y’all have been asking me in DMs…so what do you eat?🤔

Here’s the answer.

I like to eat by macros. I’m right at about 45% carb, 30% protein and 25% fat.

Primary carb sources mainly included veggies, fruits and whole grains. Protein is from yogurt, eggs, and post workout shake. Main fats from nuts and eggs.

Obviously there is some overlap in macros and I am a vegetarian but shhhhh! Don’t tell my meat-eating husband. 😉

I don’t like the word diet. This is how I eat. This particular macro/micro nutrient combo works well for my lifestyle, energy needs and weight management. Keyword, me.

Your individual calorie and macro needs will vary. Personal preferences are different. Ways to manage one’s eating style is dependent on your lifestyle.

My nutritionist brain will tell you, if you have weight to lose, there is an issue with caloric intake. If you have issues with energy levels and how you feel, it’s WHERE those calories come from. And it could be both.

The good news is there are ways to adjust these nutritional issues that are flexible with lifestyle, nonrestrictive and easy to understand.

There are no nutritional “one size fits all”, it’s finding “what works best for me.”🧘‍♀️
