This is my first WIAW, I figured it as a good way to show a full day of eats. I don’t plan on posting ALL of my food I eat every day so I thought at least one day a week would be good! Here is everything I ate yesterday!
My alarm went off at 3:15am and I hit snooze a couple times and was finally able to get myself up at 3:30am. I tried to make myself look presentable as quickly as possible and got to eating my breakfast.
I had egg white oats with peanut butter on top.
I think I eat egg white oats different that most. I first microwave 3/4 liquid egg whites in a bowl while my 1/3 oats cooks on the stove top. I top the egg white with the cooked oats and add PB and sometimes some fruit!
I worked 4:30am-1:00pm. I tend to snack on every break at work, my job is pretty physical I am on my feet all day and I never stop moving. I work at the busiest Starbucks south of Portland so it is really non stop all day.
First break I ate a Protein Macaroon and on my “lunch”, which is at 8am so I don’t count this as a real lunch, I had a half of a cup of Trader Joe’s plain non fat greek yogurt with a pink lady apple and cinnamon on top. I also try to drink at least a trenta (32oz) water while I work.
I had a salad on my last break. It had spinach, chicken, red and yellow peppers, carrots, and Newman’s own balsamic dressing.
After work I checked on my strawberries in my garden and I had my first ripe strawberry!
I was a proud strawberry mama and then I ate him and he was delicous!
and then some more snacking happened…
Strawberries, pineapple, grapes, watermelon, and string cheese.
Around 4pm I got my work out in. First I ran 5 miles, nice, steady, mindless cardio was what I needed and this was perfect. After the run I did a Live Fit work-out back and biceps my arms were shaking by the end of this. I went really heavy on the weights and it felt awesome.
After my work out, my husband informed me about the 50% Dominos Pizza deal so this happened..
Dominos gluten free pizza with light cheese, peppers, onion, tomato, olives, chicken, and mushrooms. I ate the whole thing, it was small and so worth it. I have a cheat meal once a week and this was it.
Shortly after consuming a whole pizza it was my bed time (8pm) so I went to bed full and happy!
I hope you all enjoyed my first WIAW!
Questions:
Are you guys snackers or more of a 3 square meals a day kind of person? As you can see I am a snacker! I like snacking so I eat smaller meals so I can snack thru out the day! It works well for me.
I can’t believe you get up just after 3! That is super impressive. Is that for your barista job? Sounds nuts but I bet you get used to it, like everything. It’s just so funny that your lunch is at 8am
. Can you believe I have yet to try egg white oats? Gosh darn, I must get on that! And is there a recipe for your protein macaroon that you can share? That sounds heavenly and I love protein treats!
Yes I getting up at 3am is for my barista job, I’m pretty used to it now but some days it is hard! Egg white oats is seriously delicious! I thought it may be weird at first but it is now one of my favorite breakfasts! The protein macaroons are from Brittany at Eating Bird Food here is the link http://www.eatingbirdfood.com/2012/05/protein-macaroons/
I totally reccomend them perfect healthy treat!
Egg white oats!
I do steel cut oats and egg whites every morning, but I’ve never thought to put the oats over the egg whites. Normally I just crank a ton of pepper over my “egg pie” (as I like to call it). I’ll have to give the combo a go!
You should definitely try it! I have never actually tried it with the egg whites mixed in to the oats so I should try it that way sometime and see which one I like better!
