By popular demand…what I eat in a day is back…blog edition. But first, let’s have a little chat.
I stopped doing these for a while because I saw some people saying they didn’t think sharing a full day of eating was helpful since it can cause comparison + everyone’s nutritional needs are so different. I totally get that, and I do believe that everyone should find what works best for their own body/mind (whether through your own trial and error, working with a doctor, nutritionist, etc.). I’m not here to show how you should eat, rather to give an example of what food freedom looks like in my life while still aiming to incorporate nutritious, nourishing foods in my day-to-day.
Even more than that, though, what it really comes down to is this. As someone who has actually shared WIEIAD regularly, looking back 99.9999% of the responses I received from you all is how helpful you’ve found these, and how they’ve actually encouraged you in the direction of seeking Food Freedom. I literally have an entire folder saved with screenshots of your messages! So for me that’s the proof in the pudding (mmm, pudding), and really the reason I share these full-days-of-eating anyway. For that reason, I’ll continue sharing them here and there either on my blog or IG stories. Cool?
With all that said, here is (most of) what I ate yesterday 🙂
As usual, I started my morning with a big cup of coffee with frothed almond milk, few drops of liquid stevia and cinnamon.
For breakfast I had some mini gluten-free pancakes with chocolate chips and peanut butter (which is actually for a bomb giveaway coming later this week – be on the lookout!).
For lunch/brunch I got the avocado toast at Banter. It was a tough call because they have so many other great menu items but, when a gal needs her avocado toast fix, nothing else will do. This one was quite good, topped with goat cheese, tomato, micro basil, toasted pepitas and herb oil on sourdough.
In the afternoon I had an oat milk cortado, and my friend and I split a piece of (unpictured) carrot cake from Saturdays.
I got home a bit on the later side and was pretty tired, so I made my go-to quick & easy dinner while snacking on some grapes + blackberries.
Said dinner: Explore Cuisine edamame + mung bean pasta with spinach, broccoli, butter, & nutritional yeast.
By the way – I’m super into this pasta! It has a really hearty, chewy texture (which some people might not love? but I did) and it’s packed with protein.
And for dessert – AKA “fourth meal” – I had a bowl of Nature’s Path smart bran cereal with Siggi’s vanilla kefir, a spoonful of peanut butter & some dark chocolate chips.
There you have it! Some other unpictured thangs are tons of water, club soda, and my daily supplements.
For more WIEIAD, I have a ton saved on my IG story highlights here. xoxo GG
