Sunday‘s My Chef By Request:
Breakfast: Eggs w/mushrooms + 2 slices of pear
Snack: One strawberry + fruit dip
Lunch: Salad w/turkey, avocado, and tomato
Snack: Artichoke with spinach and pine nuts
Dinner: Turkey sausage (?) with sautéed chard, tomatoes, peas, and carrots
In addition, throughout the day I ate:
1.5 scoops protein powder, one apple, one nectarine, and salad w/protein and olive oil.
Total estimated macros:
173 g P, 110 g C, 73g F = 1789 cal
I rested yesterday after all the frenetics of Saturday, and I know it did my muscles well to repair!
Today I felt great! I am consistently making strength gains, and I am loving it!
Monday’s My Chef By Request:
Today I ate:
Eggs + some type of sausage + 3 pieces orange
Nuts + "chocolate mousse"???
Salad w/chicken + cucumber + tomato + unknown vegetable??? (those strings of yellow on top)
Some type of sausage + roasted pepper
Shrimp + green beans + squash + tomato w/some type of pesto topping?
Plus some protein pancakes, and casein (unpictured).
Today’s estimated macros: 209 g P, 67g C, 51 g F = 1563 cal.
FYI, I have been feeling really great eating such high protein, and low carb (and the occasional higher carb day, such as yesterday). I don’t recommend it to the average Jane, but if you are into fitness or figure then this is a regular way of life.
Eating out of a cooler with My Chef by Request has been nothing new to me. MCBR has saved me some time by not going grocery shopping as much, cooking as much, cleaning as much…BUT so far I am telling you that I don’t find it a panacea. I still have to consider how I will supplement the food each day and include/cook it, what I feel I will need through the day especially with regard to my workouts and schedule….and still think about the food like uhhh is this food I want to eat? Prefer to eat? Do I WANT to eat this ______ or would I prefer to eat my “own” food?
I think the My Chef By Request would be sooo helpful and ideal for people who are not knowledgeable about what healthy is, or don’t know how to cook healthy or don’t have the time/energy….but, for me, I am not the ideal client since I am so picky and self-reliant.
But I have been enjoying the variety of foods I don’t normally cook for myself, and enjoying not taking a million trips to the grocery store! 😉
So, the experiment continues…
