My Daily Meal Plan

I posted this earlier on my Facebook this week (Facebook.com/abbymaried) and wanted to share with my bloggers as well ;-)




To give a quick idea of what I eat on the daily:

16oz of water then, 
***T25 for quick morning cardio*** 

Breakfast: ((OPTIONS))


  • Shakeology and oatmeal with 1tbsp of PB (tastes like a friggin PB oatmeal cookie, #nom
  • 1-2 servings of Fruit (I follow the portion size from the 21DF), a slice of ezekiel bread toast, and 2 eggs scrambled

Snack: Two eggs, spinach, and a slice of Ezekiel toast


Lunch: 


  • Chicken, veggies, brown rice, avocado
  • Healthy tuna avocado sandwich or salad (on a bed of spinach) with fresh fruit 


Snack: Cliff bar  or Luna Bar (before a workout usually) OR greek yogurt with an apple

Workout -- usually lifting (depending on the day of the week) following most of the Body Beast schedule (hello #ladybeast)

***Post workout protein shake and amino acids***

Dinner: Fish, sweet potatoes, veggies < something of that variation

TA DA... nothing crazy or complicated, but my week usually revolves around 5-6 meals a day focusing on using the 21 Day Fix meal plan guidelines (what would I do without that?!) and I try to drink as much water as I can...

Oh and I sneak in a cucumber smoothie from Robeks once a week.#ijustcanthelpmyself


But I do try to avoid doing this UNLESS its my designated cheat meal, then pass those chips over! I'll take another side of guac too. 




* I limit fruit, but do have cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, apples because they are lower on the GI scale and lower in sugars! I will do fruit for breakfast if I have it and it's in season 

OH, and I do NOT have fruit at night (if I can avoid it, but if I need something sweet, Ill sprinkle it with lemon and Tajin seasoning) and if I do eat bananas (which is rare) it's usually BEFORE a workout and/or 1/2 a banana!

Homemade Sweet Potato Fries

With the 21 Day Fix meal plan, if you have a craving that's not exactly "fix friendly" you have to get creative. And while SP fries aren't exactly creative, they were a new venture for me and turned out just as I hoped, sweet, spicy, crunchy, and a little soft.



So let's do this!

What You Need:

  • 2 sweet potatoes (the purple red ones, not the yellow kind--yams, sweet potatoes, whatever) 
  • 2 gallon sized zip lock bags
  • Himalayan salt and pepper 
  • Turn the oven on to 400 degrees F
  • EVOO (just a few TBSP) 
Prep:
  • Cut the ends of the SP off, then cut in half, then in half again 
  • Put the SP pieces in the gallon sized bag with about 1/2 c of water
  • Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes until semi soft
  • Peel off skin once they've cooled off a bit (don't burn your fingers)
  • then cut into long french fry type pieces
  • Lay foil on an oven safe tray, then lay out the SP fries and drizzle olive oil on top.
  • Sprinkle with pepper and salt, and mix around. Then lay flat and pop into the oven for 30 minutes!
  • Once done cooking for 30, put broil on low and leave them in for 10-15 min depending how crunchy you like your fries
