What I Ate Today

What: One day of Mack approved eats.

Why: The number 1 question I get from clients is regarding what I eat on a daily basis. 

Most of us know that we should be selecting good, "clean" food sources but are unsure of how exactly to put foods together in a meal plan. 

So. . . .here's what I ate.

Water
I drink a gallon of water every day.  I never miss days and, for the most part, it's the only thing I drink.


Breakfast
Ate at 7:30 a.m. within 1 hour of waking.

*1/2 C Oats, old fashioned
  (cooked on stove and sprinkled with cinnamon and barely a touch of molasses)
*1 Whole Brown Egg & 1 Cup Egg Whites, from a carton
  (scrambled with sprinkle of salt)


Meal 2- Spinach Salad
Ate at 10:00 a.m. Put all of these components, except the apples, in a Tupperware container and sprinkled a little Slap Ya Mamma on top.  Took in my cooler to Bible study this morning.

*Raw spinach leaves and spring mix
*Cherry Tomatoes, diced (about 5 large)
*Orange Bell Pepper, diced (about 4 strips)
*Mushrooms, diced (about 3 large raw)
*Chicken, 3 oz (shredded.  I had cooked a batch of chicken in the slow      cooker with water)
*Olive Oil, 1 Tablespoon
*Apple Slices (I carry a bag of these with me everywhere I go and snack on them when I'm hungry)


Meal 3
Went home for lunch and ate at 12:30.

*Tuna, 3 oz (Canned tuna in water mixed with a little spicy mustard and some celery and onion)
*Pineapple, 1 C (fresh & diced)
*Raw Almonds, 1 oz


Meal 4
Ate at 3:30 this afternoon.  I preheated the oven and cooked the potatoes while working from home.  Threw them in a baggie to eat in the car on the way to the gym to lift.

*Chicken, 3 oz (from same batch mentioned above)
*Sweet Potato, 6 oz (sliced thinly and baked into "chips" with a light spray from my Misto and a dash of salt)
*Coconut Oil, 3 capsules

Workout
I train at 4:30 in the afternoon.  On lifting days I drink Glutamine/BCAA's mixed with water during my workout.



Meal 5
My family eats every night between 6:30-7:00.  I usually stirfry the chicken and broccoli together.  In this case, the chicken was already cooked, so I just tossed it in with the broccoli, olive oil, and a dash of low sodium tamari.

*Chicken, 3 oz (from same batch mentioned above)
*Broccoli, 1 C (bagged; steamed in microwave)
*Olive Oil, 1 T (measured and drizzled over chicken and broccoli)
