<\/a><\/p>\n(Horrible picture I know, but until I figure out a solution to take night pictures, this is the best it gets.)<\/p>\n
Mahi Mahi tacos, rice, and some green beans. \u00a0I would have had some avocado for the mahi mahi but I was out! Darn it! \u00a0I made extra portions of fish so there would be enough for leftovers the following day.<\/p>\n
Some dinners are a little bigger but most times it’s a protein with some veggies and occasionally starch. \u00a0Dinner is my favorite meal of the day because I like spending the time in the evenings to prepare it. \u00a0It’s my relaxing down time.<\/p>\n
There’s a saying that goes, you should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.<\/p>\n
That doesn’t really work for me. \u00a0 A smaller breakfast and lunch followed by a larger dinner is what makes me feel the best. \u00a0Occasionally I’ll have an egg and some fruit for breakfast if I’m feeling a little more hungry in the morning or if I really don’t feel like yogurt. \u00a0I still keep the portions small, one egg with fruit and maybe an English muffin, this way I will still be hungry for lunch.<\/p>\n
A larger breakfast, say eggs with bacon, toast, and potatoes keeps me full for a very long time so I typically keep that style of breakfast to the weekend. \u00a0Since it keeps me full for a while it usually results in me skipping\u00a0lunch altogether and going right into dinner. \u00a0This is OK sometimes but not all the time. I really enjoy eating lunch and having that afternoon salad.<\/p>\n
I’m also not much of a snacker. \u00a0Three full meals a day suits me just fine. \u00a0I don’t need snacks to help me get from one meal to the next. \u00a0As much as I enjoy food and eating, I don’t like eating all time and snacks make me feel that way. Like I’m just constantly eating.<\/p>\n
Routine works for me and I don’t get bored with my breakfasts or lunch. \u00a0Plus it makes meal prep during the week a heck of a lot easier! \u00a0If I’m always having the same thing for 2 out of 3 meals, then I can focus more on dinner and planning that for the week.<\/p>\n
Again, I’m in no way suggesting that everyone try this because what works for one person probably isn’t going to work for someone else. \u00a0We all have different tastes and different needs.<\/p>\n
The goal is to pay attention to the meals we eat and how they make us feel. \u00a0Do we feel energized and satisfied or do we feel sleepy and blah? \u00a0Do we have energy the next day for work and working out or are we dragging our butts? \u00a0Once we figure out what makes us feel amazing it’s a lot easier to keep doing that!<\/p>\n
