I have looked back through my Lose It app at the breakdown of fat, carbs and protein and see that although the foods I am eating are great I need to focus on getting more protein. My carb intake is at a great range and they are all healthy carbs (sweet potato, organic granola, ezekiel bread,fruits, veggies etc.) All of my fats are good fat (coconut oil, avocado, eggs, etc.) but I want to get more protein. I am planning to add egg whites to my eggs each day to keep the fat content down but up the protein. I am also going to have more lean meats including ground turkey and chicken. I got almost 20 more grams of protein today than I have the last three days so it was a success! Here is a breakdown of my meals along with pictures:
Breakfast: Two eggs scrambled with two slices of nitrate free turkey bacon and an almond milk latte.
Snack: 1/2 cup Plain non-fat greek yogurt with 1 tsp. raw honey and 1/4 cup organic hemp granola.
Lunch:Homemade turkey chili (ground turkey, diced tomatoes, chili seasoning, zucchini, black beans topped with plain green yogurt)
Snack: Homemade banana pancakes (1 banana, 1/2 cup egg whites, 1 Tbsp coconut flour, cinnamon and 1 pkt stevia) cooked using 1 tsp coconut oil and coffee with stevia
Dinner: Baked chicken with steamed broccoli and baked sweet potato with 1 tsp grass fed butter and cinnamon.
According to my Lose It app I had 1281 calories for the day! Amazing that I ate so much more protein and had less calories. Egg white and lean ground turkey are great sources of protein with not too many calories. On to Day 5!!
