I started my new diet today- Eating Clean. For the last couple of years I have tried to eat mostly primal/paleo, which means no grains. With this diet I will be eating a small amount of grains in the morning for lifting fuel. It is key that I eat small meals every 2-3 hours to keep my metabolism up. I have been horrible at this in the past few months- usually never eating breakfast, having a coffee, a bite of something for lunch, maybe an apple, and then after working out eating a larger dinner. I am so happy to be getting out of that bad habit! This way of eating is also very helpful for those with hypothyroidism.
Here's a day of eating: (for now, this will be changing frequently)
Meal 1-
4 egg whites 1 yolk
1/4 C oatmeal w/cinnamon
1/4 C blueberries
water
Meal 2-
1 C, nonfat greek yogurt (great source of protein!)
1 T almond butter
water
Meal 3-
4 oz chicken breast
2 C spinach
water
Meal 4-
6 oz tuna
1/2 banana (pre workout)
Meal 5-
Protein drink
1/2 sweet potato (post workout)
Meal 6- Before bed if hungry
4 oz turkey breast
spinach salad w/veggies
olive oil
