Now let’s talk nutrition, there are a variety of yummy, healthy alternatives. Let’s tap into it!
For breakfast, I like to start my mornings with something not as heavy. If you are trying to tone up I would recommend some oatmeal. If you are looking for something to aid your calorie deficient try considering a smoothie. Such as, a kale smoothie, add kale, pineapples, lemon juice, and water. If you don’t like kale too much, you can try an acai smoothie. Add pineapples, strawberries, bananas, and some apple juice. If you are not into smoothies, you can try yogurt and granola.
Lunch can be tricky, but they’re a lot of things you can implement. The simplest lunch is a grilled chicken salad, I like to say that the more colorful your salad is the better. Carrots, tomatoes, peppers, even some eggs, try them all. If you feel more like a sandwich, consider a salad wrap. All the ingredients for your sandwich are there, just wrapped up in salad.
Dinner can be really exciting, you can apply a lot! Consider baked chicken with kale and some baked potatoes. This is a great balance dinner that includes all the food groups you need. For those who like fish, try salmon with some spinach and soft corn. I recommend all to stay away from red meat, it is a very heavy protein.
Lastly, down below are some snacks that you can attack.
- Sliced apples and peanut butter
- Toast, on peanut butter with bananas
- Raisins
- Peanuts, almonds
- Greek yogurt with granola
- Cucumbers with hummus
- Hard-boiled egg
Hopefully this motivated you ladies to get up and move! Let me know how it goes ladies, I’m rooting for you.
