Eating healthy while working full time can be a struggle...Particularly when you live with a male whose preferences for food do not lean towards the healthy side...Am I right girls?!?!
So today I thought I would bring you lovely people along with what I eat in a typical work day!
Breakfast:
Usually my work days start out at the gym, so I like quick and easy for on the go! So for breakfast on most days I will have a piece of vegemite or peanut butter toast- but lately I have been loving 2 wheetbix with a little bit of milk and a very tiny amount of raw sugar to sweeten. This is very high in fibre and it just keeps me going for the start of my day!
Morning Tea:
As I normally have breakfast quiet early in the morning and usually do a pretty intense workout- by mid morning I tend to be hungry again and I love to snack on fruit and greek yoghurt with muesli! My favourite fruits for mixing into my yoghurt are strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, while my favourite muesli is table of plenty vanilla almond flavour. I also usually have some grapes on the side.
I tend to be very picky with my greek yoghurt and Tamar valley is actually the best I have ever tried- they come in a range of flavours which are super, they don't have too much sugar and BONUS- they are Australian made, which is awesome!! But honestly - you can use whatever greek yoghurt you like as i know it comes down to personal preference!
Lunch:
For lunch on a normal day- I tend just to have leftovers! When I cook at night I will always make enough to have two extra meals for myself and my fiancé for lunch the next day- this ensures that I'm not wasting food by throwing away leftovers and also we are saving money by not having to buy lunches at work! For today's lunch I had a lamb sausage, half a baked potato and steamed fresh vegetables : peas, corn, carrots, beans, broccoli and cauliflower! which I buy from my local fruit store.
Snacks:
If I get hungry in the afternoon (which I usually don't as my morning foods tend to keep me full, but if I do) I usually try and snack on nuts- cashews are my favourite but I also love almonds- or I will snack on a protein bar or a healthy muesli bar! This one is from ALDI but Im still trying to find a favourite bar so I tend to switch them out!
Dinner:
For dinner- it obviously changes every night but my goals are to try and get as much nutrition into a simple and quick meal as I can- but still taste yummy!
So for today's dinner I made chicken pesto pasta with vegetables- which is super healthy, a little bit spicy and REALLY yummy (AND Keeps the man happy so BIG THUMBS UP)
If you guys want a recipe for this pasta- leave me a comment and let me know!
And thats what I eat in a day!
As you can see- I am ALL about the easy meals that are healthy! I thought this post would be beneficial/ helpful for all you ladies who have a busy lifestyle to see what I eat in a general working day that keeps me full but is also still healthy!
Thankyou so much for reading!
