Loseit came up with 1700cal, and I focus on protein for healthy muscles, and fiber for regular digestion and weight loss. I don't really much care either way about fat or carbs, I just try to make sure my protein is at least 30% of my macros and around 130g daily. Fiber is 20-24g daily. And I also make sure I drink 64oz of water daily, which at my work is just 1 8oz bottle every hour, or 4 16oz bottles on weekends, I would like to raise this eventually to at least 16 more oz, but Im building up to it. Im also doing 18hr IF, so no eating before 12pm, or after 6/7pm. Except for my morning coffee
Work days are super easy, I have everything planned out. I wake up at 5:30am, and soak a tbsp of chia seeds in black coffee while I get ready, and add creamer just before leaving. I drink this on the car ride to work~
(Normally in a thermos but im off today so mug is pictured lol)
At work, I start drinking my waters every hour from 730am-330pm. At 12pm, 1pm, and 330pm I eat my lunch snacks~ I change up the flavors every day so it doesn't get too stale but these are what I buy every week.
I get home around 4:30pm everyday, and take my dogs out for our walk. Once Im back inside, I make dinner which is one of three options. I buy one rotisserie chicken, 3 cans of wolf brand chili with beans, no fat cheddar cheese, buffalo sauce, nuefchatl cheese, 2 salad prep kits and some Hawaiian rolls. Unfortunately I don't have pictures and I need to go grocery shopping today 😩
1st- leg and wing parts of the rotisserie, and microwaved baked potato with 1tbls butter and quarter cup of no fat cheddar cheese
2nd- shredded breast of the rotisserie, 1tbls neufchatel cheese, microwaved. Add buffalo sauce and mix together. Eaten with half a salad kit.
3rd- chili cheese bowl. Wolf bean chili and no fat cheddar cheese, 1 hawaiian roll. Half a salad kit.
Dessert is the only meal prep I do but again, super easy. I buy a tub of vanilla Greek yogurt, no sugar Jello mix, no sugar whipped cream, frozen fruit mixes, chia seeds and honey. There are 2 different desserts I make.
Fluffy jello. Add 1 cup boiling water to jello mix, 1 cup yogurt. Let set overnight. Makes 4 servings. Add whipped cream. Super low cal, lots of protien, very yummy.
Chia pudding. Soak 3 tbls chia seeds overnight, defrost .5cup of fruit. Mix with 2/3cup of Greek yogurt. Makes 2 servings. Add fruit and honey to top. A bit higher cal, usually throws me a little over but its terracore so high in fiber and protien I think its worth it. Also you can have plain with no fruit or honey to cut cals but its just better with and I can change up the fruit to make it less stale day to day. (This can also be a very healthy breakfast if you have both servings)
Im still trying to figure out decent breakfast options for weekends so thats not fully set yet but for now im just trying to stick to my macros and am trying different options until I find what works, but most of my week is all planned out and super simple to make time for.
