We have been following a special diet for over a month now. We structure our eating routine according to the program my coach provided me. Why am I using in terms of "we"? Because my spouse and I are following this diet together. I am nearly constantly eating, about every two and a half to three hours. Carbohydrate intake is essential during breakfast. I either have a slice of pancake or oatmeal. Then comes my snack: I consume protein bars.
Right now, I've got my coffee and I want to tell you what I eat. I have coffee with oat milk or coconut milk. After this, it's time for lunch. This consists of grains or pasta, along with some form of protein. It could be chicken, fish or turkey, accompanied by a salad. Then another two and a half to three hours pass and I have some walnuts. Then, after two more hours, I have grains and protein again. Two hours later, I consume protein and vegetables. Let's say fish and salad, or turkey meatballs with baked squash.
And for dinner, you won't believe it, I can eat another serving of protein. So, I'm eating constantly and with that, my body proportions are changing. I can see which muscles are developing. I notice improvements in my arms, legs and overall body composition. It's really changing. I'll add some examples of what I eat throughout the day. Don't forget to drink water throughout the day. Eating this frequently throughout the day can be quite challenging, especially when you have a constantly crying and needing to be held child.
I'm making stovetop oat pancakes. Here there's 40 grams of oatmeal. I blended them, added an egg and some plant based milk. Optionally you can add vanilla, salt and sweetener. Then I top it with fruits, like a kind of jam made from blended fruits and sweetener. So, here's my breakfast, oat pancakes with a fruit filling.
There's quite a variety of food here. I'm consuming all of this alongside my coffee. My next meal will be in two hours. So, I won't have to wait long. Here's my next meal, coffee with oat milk. I guess everyone knows it. This milk now, oat milk, contains about 1.5% fat. There's also a 0.5% version. What I like most is the 1.5% milk, as I find the 0.5% milk too watery for me and the 3.5% milk too fatty. This is the perfect fat content for me, also a very tasty cookie from the Fit brand, sugar free and high in protein. It's high in carbohydrates though. So, it's important not to overindulge in such sweets.
I have king oyster mushrooms. They're different from regular mushrooms, brown with white interiors. Onion and chicken breast. I marinated them beforehand in black pepper and soy sauce. I'm going to start cooking them now and show you what comes out. And for lunch I have these small bowls with balsamic dressing. Instead of pasta, there's bulgur. I'm steaming it with chicken, onions and king oyster mushrooms. Bulgur is added as well. It's about 350 calories.
And my final meal. I cooked 50 grams of dry rice. There's 100 grams of chicken, spicy Sriracha sauce, steamed zucchini and cucumber.
And I'm having a protein bar. Quite delicious and it's also available at a reasonable price on Wildberries. I think it's reasonably priced. Soft and delightful. Those who have had protein bars will know that some can be tough. I personally prefer ones that are really soft, tasty and pleasant.
After eating, it's express makeup time :) I hope you've enjoyed my writing. See you in the next posts.
