What I Ate Wednesday v4.0

Today is brought to us by the number 7 and the word hungry.

Mom- you ate so much today.  It's embarrassing.

I ate 7 times today and I was hungry allllll dayyyyyy!  Blame it on the salad and sprints from Monday night, but my metabolism was moving!  A high intensity workout this morning might have had a little to do with it too.  Better a fast metabolism than a slow one!


Fit Tip- don't skip breakfast!  It causes your metabolism to slow down and your body to begin storing food.  Think of your metabolism as a fire.  Put more logs on (aka healthy foods) to keep it burning and keep you losing weight.


And now I proudly present to you....what I ate Wednesday... 

Breakfast - 8am

• Quinoa with berries, almond milk, 1 Splenda packet, protein powder, toasted almonds, and cinnamon.  (I just realized I forgot my chia seeds!) This I call, Breakfast of the Year!

At work snack - 130pm

• 1 small apple and a Gatorade Recover Protein Drink - 16g protein ($1 at Publix)

Lunch- 3pm

• 5 Morningstar Farms Veggie Buffalo Chck'n Nuggets - these are amazing!  They rock my world!
• Spinach and berry salad with pecans

Stress Studying Snack- 430pm

Dinner - 715pm

• Ma's Meatloaf and roasted okra

• Meatloaf inspired by Kyle's Mamma's recipe and Will Ferrell yelling in Wedding Crashers.  Note- don't actually yell at your Ma....or your Dad...not nice! :)

Dessert- 9pm
