WIAW: Boring Daily Life Edition

I don’t believe I have ever officially participated in a WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) linkup, but I felt left out and wanted to share some of the amazing boring eats that I have been eating lately. I eat just about the same thing Monday – Friday, and other than some Greek Yogurt and wine, stick to a pretty strict paleo lifestyle. I love to meal prep on Sundays and then packing and planning breakfast and lunch for the week is as simple as grabbing a bunch of containers from the fridge and throwing it into my lunch bag (or lunch suitcase as someone at work called it today). On the weekends, I tend to be less cautious of what I am eating, but it is nice to have those cheats once in a while!

And then my dishwasher looks like this:

What I Eat – Pre-Breakfast

• 1-2 cups of black coffee (Starbuck’s Medium, brewed at work); sometimes throw in a spoonful of coconut oil.
• Coconut Creme Larabar. Everyday. I crave it the minute I make it to my desk. Literally, salivate. Bad habit.

What I Eat for Breakfast (10:00am)

• 2-3 eggs with yolks (either hard-boiled from Sunday night or microwave scrambled at work);
• Half of an avocado (save the other half for lunch)
  
• Half of a sweet potato with pumpkin pie spice and almond butter, or
• Spaghetti squash with butter
• Cup of homemade bone broth
  
• (On the weekends, it’s usually eggs and bacon; or pancakes or french toast at Granny’s.. not paleo in the least bit)

What I Eat for Lunch (12:30/1:00)

• Chicken breast that I crockpot cooked up on Sunday night (or meat from a Costco Rotisserie), or
• Leftovers from dinner the night before
• Remainder of breakfast avocado
• About half a pound of baby carrots (2 bags divided up over 5 days) and green peppers (3 peppers over 5 days), all prepped on Sunday

What I Eat for Snacks

Sometimes I eat them all, sometimes I eat none of them; depends how the day goes!

• Fage Greek Yogurt with vanilla stevia, mixed with strawberries; often topped with unsweetened coconut flakes
  
  
• A Cutie or two
• A Banana
• Handful of Blue Diamond Almonds – plain, unsalted, delicious
  
• Go Squeez Apple-Berry applesauce (started doing this on days I “runch”)
• Optimum Nutrition Cake Batter protein shake with Blue Diamond Almond milk (on days I “runch”)

What I Eat Pre-Workout

• Banana/egg two-ingredient pancake (one banana, one egg, cook in coconut oil), or
• Half a sweet potato with almond butter
• amino3 Pre-Workout (review to come)

What I Eat (Drink) Post-Workout

• Progenex Tropical Vanilla Recovery with a cup of Blue Diamond Almond Milk. Sometimes throw in some full-fat canned coconut milk for fun. (get a 10% off discount automatically applied at checkout if you use my link to order!)

What I Eat for Dinner (7:00 most days)

• Broccoli slaw chicken stir-fry (recipe coming one day), or
  
• Bunless hamburgers and sweet potato chips fried in coconut oil, or
  
• Chicken breasts with zucchini noodles, or
  
• Spaghetti squash with homemade meat/tomato sauce, or
• Steak and cauliflower “rice”;
• Leftovers (above is the primary rotation)
• Sometimes I ignore all healthy eating rules and eat like this:

What I Drink

• All kinds of tea (mostly just green tea at work, love the minty teas at home- current favorite is Choice Teas Lemon Lavender Mint!)
• Water, mostly.
• Wine. Of course. (3-4x a week) Preferably Barefoot Sweet Red, if you want to send me a bottle.
  

What I Supplement

• Nature Made Multi for Her with Iron and Calcium, Liquid Softgels
• Nature Made Vitamin D3, 20000 IU Liquid Softgels
• Nature Made Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc
• Vitacost KriaXanthin® Antarctic Krill Oil with Natural Astaxanthin

Do you meal prep and plan weekly? Do you tend to eat the same things everyday?
