6 Small Meals

November 6, 2012/in Eat Clean, Shakeology /by Jenelle Summers

I admit, i’m NOT the CLEANEST eater ..if I was, I bet I’d have that 6pack!

But I’m always working to improve. My meals are fast & simple and it’s a way of eating that is do-able for me because I don’t like a lot of “rules.” But I work towards new HABITS every day, every week, every year.

Now I rarely have (and rarely miss) chips, alcohol, traditional desserts, restaurant foods, pizza and I usually only eat Ezekiel bread as far as breads go. But breaking/embracing habits takes TIME. For years I was a carb-aholic, sugar-addict, drank on weekends & hated most veggies! So you may be further along than me.

I have ~3-4 fruits & 5 veggies/day (because there’s 2 of each already in Shakeology) and I have 100+ grams of protein. So maybe this will help SOMEONE.

Also,I don’t eat ALL of this in a day.. I usually eat ~6 small meals (~300 calories each, roughly) + a couple hundred calories of “misc”. All that said, YOU have to eat based on YOUR

nutritional needs
lifestyle
activity level
age
size
food preferences
YOUR goals.

The surest way to get results is just IMPROVE what you do now.

Eat less crap
Eat more salads
Reduce sugar
Avoid alcohol
Avoid restaurant foods
AND pay CLOSE attention to portions & grazing.

And when I say avoid, I don’t mean “never”… You gotta LIVE & NOT be obsessed with “skinny”

p.s. do NOT give up, do NOT skip meals or beat yourself up!

Peppermint Shakeology

October 30, 2012/in Blog, Eat Clean, Shakeology /by Jenelle Summers

This was so good in my shake it deserved the “twinkle” effect from Pixlromatic+ (iPhone app)! *่นRecipe: 1 cup ice, 1 cup Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk, half cup water, 2 cap fulls of Peppermint Extract (this has a small cap and probably holds only a third of what the other extract caps hold), 2 T of PB2 (if you put PB2 in EVERYTHING) 2-3 packs of “Stevia in the Raw” if you want it to be sweet like a dessert & 1 scoop/pack of Chocolate Shakeology.

Grilled Chicken Pocket with Salsa

October 30, 2012/in Blog, Eat Clean /by Jenelle Summers

You probably can’t fully see, but this pocket is PACKED with grilled chicken (made really quickly in my Foreman grill!! Love it!), Spring Mix, reduced fat Sharp Cheddar cheese, with ~2T Fage 0% Plain Greek Yogurt (like sour cream to me!), and salsa on the side that I spoon in as i eat! I don’t put the salsa IN the pocket because there’s NOTHING worse than soggy bread! You could do this sandwich with a WRAP too, but again, I wouldn’t put the salsa IN it 😉 This was ~300 calories.

Greek Yogurt with Strawberries

October 30, 2012/in Blog, Eat Clean, Snack /by Jenelle Summers

Quick snack! This is greek yogurt under the strawberries with a packet of Stevia to sweeten! It’s 20g protein and DELISH. Blueberries have more nutritional benefits, but i just like Strawberries better.

Taco with Turkey and Brown Rice Tortilla

October 30, 2012/in Blog, Eat Clean /by Jenelle Summers

This is Extra lean GROUND turkey breast cooked with Taco Seasoning …then put it on a brown rice tortilla with tomato, avocado, romaine lettuce & reduced fat cheddar cheese! We added plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. Yum, right?!?

Cinnamon Raisin Ezekiel Toast with Banana

October 30, 2012/in Blog, Eat Clean /by Jenelle Summers

I was craving carbs & something sweet this afternoon (which pretty much goes for EVERY afternoon) so I try to make sure they’re “good carbs”. This is cinnamon raisin Ezekiel toast (which around here is sold in pretty much all the general grocery stores, just in the FREEZER section.. very easy to miss it too!!) with a half banana & shared between both pieces of toast. And then i mixed up some cinnamon and stevia to sprinkle on top! Another sweet/bad craving successfully CRUSHED. And it was quick & easy!
