Jumping Back Into My Macro-Based Diet!
Yes! After three very long months of eating whatever I wanted, I’m finally back to my good old food scale. Today marks Day 1, and while I’m definitely feeling hungry, I managed to resist the tempting chocolate cookie at work—small wins!
I always make sure to have breakfast before leaving the house. This morning, my meal consisted of:
- 0.5 ounce of goat cheese
- 1/2 cup of egg whites
- 3 slices of turkey breast (Macros: 2.8g carbs, 6g fat, 33.5g protein)
For snacks, I had a mix of rainbow carrots and cucumbers paired with 3 tablespoons of hummus—simple yet satisfying.
Lunch was a refreshing and light meal:
- 2 cups of mixed greens
- 2 oz of rotisserie chicken
- My daily immunity shot (Macros: 11g carbs, 2g fat, 20g protein)
Dinner brought a great balance of carbs, healthy fats, and protein:
- 1/2 cup of quinoa
- 1 small avocado
- 1 oz of rotisserie chicken
- 1 banana
- 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt
- 2 strawberries
(Macros: 70.5g carbs, 31.4g fat, 29.3g protein)
I’m excited to get back on track and see how my body responds. The first few days are always the hardest, but consistency is key. Here’s to making mindful food choices and fueling my body the right way! Fuck this headache but starting my diet is all worth it.
