What I ate Wednesday!
February 25th, 2015
Before I show you guys the delicious food I ate today. I wanted to take a second to talk about my goals and nutrition right now. I would like to start of by saying I am not a fan of long term calorie counting but I do think it is a good idea to educate yourself about the food your eating. Since I became vegan and started focusing on eating more raw food (which is a much lower calorie content per serving), I have struggled with eating enough and understanding appropriate portions for raw meals. I have began calorie counting a bit, in the morning I sit down and go on cronometer.com and type in what I plan to eat that day. My goal right now is to eat 500 calories 4 times a day. I don't calorie count through-out the day, and I don't eat 100% what I plan, I simply like knowing I am fueling my body appropriately! Now to see what I ate!:
Meal 1:
Breakfast Smoothie:
This smoothie is my obsession right now!!
- 1/2 cup of oats
- 1 scoop of vanilla rice protein
- 1 banana
- 4dates
- 1tbsp of chia seeds
- Water to blend
Meal 2:
Pure pulp tangerine pineapple juice. 4 tangerines and 2 cups of frozen pineapple blended unstrained, it was about 32oz. This was basically like drinking creamy sugar!!
Meal 3: (I was at work and couldn't take pictures!)
- Serving of trail mix
- Super food shake (1 banana, 1 scoop of shakeology, 2 cups of spinach)
Meal 4:
- Baked potato
- Sautéed lentils, onion, and garlic
- Steamed broccoli
- Hummus
