Full Day of Eating

As a personal trainer, I get asked all the time: “What do you eat in a day?” The truth is, my meals aren’t about fad diets or cutting out entire food groups—they’re about balance, energy, and feeling strong. What I eat helps me fuel my workouts, support recovery, and stay consistent without feeling deprived. In this post, I’m sharing a real look at what a day of eating looks like for me, plus some tips on how to build meals that nourish your body while still enjoying the foods you love.

11 am -Greek yogurt with granola and blue berries/cantaloupe

1 pm -Banana and babybell cheese

3 pm -Protein shake with strawberries, bananas and chocolate protein powder

4 pm -Protein bar

6 pm -Salad with beef/Cinnamon sourdough

✅ 1. Prioritize Protein at Every Meal

Protein helps maintain muscle, supports recovery, and keeps you fuller longer. Aim for a source like eggs, Greek yogurt, lean meats, fish, or plant-based options at each meal.

✅ 2. Don’t Skip Carbs—Fuel Your Workouts

Carbs aren’t the enemy—they’re your body’s main energy source, especially for strength training and yoga. Include whole food sources like oats, fruit, quinoa, or sweet potatoes to keep your energy steady.

✅ 3. Add Color with Veggies and Fruits

More colors = more nutrients! Fill at least half your plate with vegetables and add fruit to snacks or breakfast for vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

✅ 4. Stay Hydrated

Water supports everything—energy, recovery, and digestion. If plain water feels boring, try sparkling water, herbal tea, or infuse your water with fruit.

✅ 5. Plan for Snacks

Healthy snacks keep you fueled between meals and prevent overeating later. Try combos like apple slices with nut butter, Greek yogurt with berries, or a protein shake.

✅ 6. Give Yourself Flexibility

No food is “off-limits.” A balanced approach includes room for your favorite treats in moderation without guilt.

At the end of the day, what matters most isn’t eating perfectly—it’s finding a way of eating that gives you energy, supports your goals, and fits your lifestyle. I hope this gives you some inspiration for building balanced meals and snacks that you enjoy!
