Breakfast, Lunch, Snack

So far I've had 3 meals today. Thankfully today is also my off-day for working out so I just get to relax.

Breakfast: 2 Post Shredded Wheat biscuits, a water protein shake, and 3 cups of water

  

Lunch: One Grilled Chicken Breast, 3 Romaine Leaves Chopped up, and Balsamic Vinegar. Mixed together this makes a very tasty salad! Of course another 3 glasses of water

Snack: One Protein Shake (with milk this time), a banana, and you guessed it, 3 glasses of water.

Everything is really yummy and really healthy. I wonder what my next meal will be?

What I Had for Breakfast

I never used to like oatmeal, but now it has actually become one of my favorite breakfasts to have. It is quick, easy and very filling! Here's breakfast this morning:

• Plain oatmeal (not that sugary junk in the packets)

 

• Raisins
• Water Protein Shake (Water and whey protein)

 

•  2 cups of water

It's so quick and healthy you'll love yourself for doing it. Pour half a cup of the oatmeal into a bowl (trust me, 1/2 cup is plenty when it cooks). Then, fill up the oatmeal with water so that it covers the oatmeal and goes a little bit over it (add more or less depending on how thick you like your oatmeal). Put it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Make sure you watch the oatmeal so that it doesn't bubble over the top! When it's done, then you add in a handful of raisins. I don't like to add in raisins before putting it in the microwave because for me, it just doesn't taste good and takes away some of the sweetness. If you want, add in some ground flax for some good fats. Viola! Good yummy food. If you're just starting add in a splenda packet or some other zero calorie sweetener, but try to grow out of it! Getting at least one raisin in every bite sweetens up the oatmeal a lot! Add in a protein shake if you need to get protein into each of your meals in a heavy dose but don't skip the two glasses of water! This also helps keep you full and hydrates your body well from getting dehydrated overnight.

My after-workout meal

Note how I said meal. This is more of a meal-substitute, as stated in earlier posts, but my meal was a protein shake made up of whey protein powder and skim milk. The milk made it a little more filling that just having it with water. However, I did have a glass of water to keep rehydrate myself while also keeping myself full. Here's the protein powder I use:

I use this protein specifically because it has no saturated fat, 30 grams or protein in one scoop, and it's only 140 calories. Plus, it tastes and mixes really well with milk or water!
