My "Day in the Life" with Food

One of the things that helped me “click” with healthy eating was seeing how someone else did it.

I’m not talking about a made-up plan in a magazine, but a real-life example of a day’s worth of eating… exactly what they ate and when they ate it.

So that’s why I’ve decided to pull back the curtain and share my personal “day in the life” when it comes to food.

Something to keep in mind:  this is what works for ME.  I’m not suggesting you follow this!

I’m sharing it in hopes that it gets the wheels turning for YOU in finding a routine that fits your goals, schedule, and likes/dislikes.

So here we go!  This is what I ate during a day at Dragon Boat paddling camp in Tampa, FL.  It's a week-long camp where we live like full-time athletes.  We practice with a nationally-known coach with two-a-days on the water;  a 10-mile endurance paddle in the middle of the week; and racing at the end of the week at the Tampa International Dragon Boat Festival.

FIRST THING IN THE MORNING:  I drank a tall glass of water, and reviewed the training plan for what times I needed to be on the water for the day.

BREAKFAST:  I had my coffee with heavy cream while I heated up my meal-prepped breakfast.  I make a Keto Pork Pie at the beginning of the week and cut it into slices to have for breakfast every day.  It has an almond flour and flax seed crust.  The filling is ground pork, bacon, onion, cheese and egg.  Lot's of awesome nutrition to get me through a tough morning paddling session without losing any energy.  This is the first of three meals for the day ... zero snacking.

LUNCH:  Lunch is normally the leftovers from the prior night's dinner.  Something like salmon with roasted veggies, or chicken with leeks in a bacon and tomato cream sauce.  Since I always had time to cook in the evenings I would just make extra to have for my lunch the next day when my schedule is much tighter.

AFTERNOON SNACK:  Nothing.....even when I'm doing heavy workouts I don't feel the need to eat a snack.  I head out to my second paddling training session of the day, and my first two meals of the day are plenty to hold me through the hard work on the water.

DINNER:  Steak!!!!  A gorgeous ribeye or NY strip.  Pan fried and basted with butter, garlic, rosemary and thyme.  Rounded out with some roasted asparagus and a small glass of really excellent red wine.

As you can see … I do as much of the work of cooking delicious and nutritious meals ahead of time.

Because just like you, I struggle with being so busy in my life that I don't want to spend hours in the kitchen just to eat well every day.  I'd much rather be outdoors playing with my friends.  How about you??

It’s all about keeping it simple so you can stick with it!
