A REALISTIC WHAT I EAT IN A DAY (pt. 6)

A Realistic What I Eat in a Day

Here’s what a full day of eating looks like for me — balanced, easy satisfying meals that are high in protein, fiber and carbs to support my training and goals.

I’m sharing for inspiration only, and hopefully you find a meal or two you’re excited to try! 🤍

 

🍳 Breakfast: Protein-Packed Sweet & Savory Breakfast

  • Stone & Skillet NEW Whole Grain English Muffin (10g protein)

  • Mashed avocado

  • Cottage cheese

  • Eggs + egg whites + freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • Papaya

⚡ Pre-Workout Snack

Energy bar with 34g carbs and 10g protein.

🥗 Lunch: Chicken Rice Bowl My Rice Cooker

Served with a side salad, avocado, and Greek vinaigrette.

How I Make the Chicken:

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create two thinner cutlets, then cut each cutlet in half to make four pieces.

Coat the chicken with olive oil and season with salt, garlic powder, and Siete Fajita Seasoning.

Heat a little olive oil in an oven-safe pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and sear for about 3–4 minutes per side.

Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for approximately 4–6 minutes, depending on thickness, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve!

🥝 Afternoon Snack

Kiwi and chocolate.

🍤 Dinner: Smoked Paprika Oregano Shrimp with Japanese Sweet Potatoes, Air Fryer Peppers & Avocado

Smoked Paprika Oregano Shrimp

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1½ tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1½ tsp smoked paprika

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • ¾–1 tsp kosher salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • Fresh dill, for serving

Instructions:

Pat the shrimp dry, then toss with olive oil and all the seasonings.

Heat a little olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 1½–2 minutes per side, until pink, opaque, and cooked through. Shrimp cooks FAST, so be ready to flip it! :)

Finish with lots of fresh dill.

You can drizzle the bowl with your favorite sauce or serve it with tzatziki, which is what I did!

  2. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then pat dry.

  3. Slice each potato in half lengthwise.

  4. Pierce the skin a few times with a fork.

  5. Lightly spray the cut sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

  6. Place the potatoes cut-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
