One of the most common questions I get as a personal trainer is, “What do you eat in a day?” I like to keep things simple, balanced, and east to make. My meals include a mix of protein, carbs and healthy fats. Here’s a look at what a typical day of eating looks like for me:


8:00 AM – Hydration & Supplements


I start my morning with electrolytes, creatine, and plenty of water. This helps me rehydrate after sleep, support muscle recovery, and set the tone for the day.



11:00 AM – Lunch: Chicken Wrap


For lunch, I make a chicken wrap filled with:


  • Chicken

  • Salsa

  • A sprinkle of shredded cheese

  • A little sour cream


It’s quick, tasty, and packed with protein to keep me full. I also have a couple of my Protein Date Energy Balls for an extra energy boost.




2:00 PM – Afternoon Snack


In the afternoon, I keep it simple with:


  • An apple

  • Peanut butter

  • A few mini chocolate chips (because balance!)

  • Lemon water




5:00 PM – Dinner


Dinner is hearty and satisfying:


  • Turkey meatballs

  • Roasted potatoes

  • Green beans


This combo gives me lean protein, complex carbs, and fiber—perfect for recovery and energy.



Final Thoughts


I keep my meals realistic and enjoyable while hitting my nutrition goals.
