Here is a peak into what I ate today, for no reason at all 😉
In the past I have been diligent about calculating daily macros. Lately I have been doing a mental tally of cals, following clean eating and sport nutrition principles, and today I just decided to document what I ate for the day and calculate the macros and why not share it with you…
Woke up, at around 7:30AM had
- ½ packet gluten free “banana” oatmeal
- with a splash of egg whites
- and a splash of UVAB
(105.5 cal, 7 g P, 16 C, 1.5 F)
Oatmeal mix
went to the gym, and did some cardio (40 min light-medium) and stretched and foam rolled
came home and at around 9:30 AM had
- the other half of the oatmeal with egg whites and UVAB (and a multi-vitamin)(see pic above)(105.5 cal, 7 g P, 16 C, 1.5 F)
I knew that wasn’t enough, so around 9:45 AM I had
- ¼ kelp noodles packet
- 4 brussel sprouts, chopped
- 1 asparagus, chopped
- 2 turkey, kale, and chard meatballs
- a few leaves of sautéed kale and chard
- dried onion, cilantro, and oregano
- and ¼ cup Walden Farms mariana sauce
(136.1 cal, 17.8 g P, 11.5 g C, 2.1 g F)
Turkey n Greens n "Pasta"
I iced my shoulder, caught up on some email, etc, then remembered all the ripe avocadoes in the kitchen! Our neighbors have an avocado tree, so they have TONS of avocados and I just pick some up off the ground (they’re ok with that)! Yummy! I know I had to do something with them, so I made a chocolate avocado pudding. While I was peeling the many avocados, I um kind of ate
- Two avocados (at around 11 AM)(545 cal, 2.9 g P, 2.9 g C, 51 g F)
(yes, a bit excessive BUT I am not going to beat myself up about it because as someone recovering from an ED, I know that the emotions and guilt behind food is what gets me/us messed up. If I freak out, then surely there will be more negative consequences. If I am nonchalant and flexible, then I will be fine! And at this point also I feel more comfortable with having excess healthy fats than having excess carbohydrates)
To make the pudding, I combined
- A few tbsp Flaxseed
- Avocadoes
- ½ scoop vanilla casein
- ¼ cup egg whites
- a few tbsp Caco + Maca powder
- 1 scoop Chocolate Superfood
- 1 tbsp zero-calorie Walden Farms chocolate syrup (unpictured)

And blended it on up! Yummy, healthy fats!
I poured some of it in a bowl for the sake of the photo 😉 but besides a few bites, I stored it in a tupperware for another day 🙂
I studied for my Precision Nutrition certification, then it was time for my boo and I to hook up. He frequently takes his fighters to the beach to condition them and he invited me to come! Yay! I was excited to go to the beach and to witness the mayhem and participate as much as possible! I was full from the avocados but beforehand (around 2 PM) I made sure to drink
- ½ scoop of Isopure strawberries and cream mixed with water (110.5 cal, 25 g P, 1.5 g C, .5 g F)
(damn I need to re-up on my cake batter PP!!! It’s been forever) It was me plus my boo plus our two dogs (who always go) plus one of his fighters. It was so much fun!!! Among other things, I climbed the sand dunes. I got so dirty and sandy…I felt so alive crawling, clawing up the steep hillside, heart valves workin, feet sinking as my foothold would crumble underneath me, keeping on digging and climbing upwards…I think I did it 6 times??? IT FELT GREAT!!!!
I'm at the base of the dune!
Dogs ~chillin~ after running around!
Here is an awesome video the boo did a while ago that shows what we did…Well, he actually SPRINTS up and down…(I was crawling)

After the beach (San Francisco area), we were still about an hour away from the house (Mountain View), so at 5 PM I had a
- protein bar (368 cal, 32 g P, 33 g C, 12 g F)
(I try to eat whole foods but this worked in a pinch)
I took a hot shower, and now we are chillin for a hot minute before peeps roll thru to the casa to watch the UFC fights, woo!! What a nice day 🙂
I am about to hook up a redo of the earlier meal: (at 7 PM)
- ¼ kelp noodles packet
- 4 brussel sprouts, chopped
- 1 asparagus, chopped
- 2 turkey, kale, and chard meatballs
- a few leaves of sautéed kale and chard
- and ¼ cup Walden Farms marinara sauce
- plus a scoop of spinach cauliflower mash
(approx 136.1 cal, 17.8 g P, 11.5 g C, 2.1 g F)
Unless I get hungry later, this is probably all I will eat today.
Total macros for the day: 1307.8 cal, 91.7 g P, 80.9 g C, 68.6 g F
Not the most ideal stats (goal would be more like 150 g P, 90 g C, 45 g F, 1365 cal) but I’m okay with it! I am telling you the real! I am not making up some fake numbers…this is what I ate today. Do you document what you eat? By the cals? By the macros? By the emotions? Other? Or do you find it counterproductive? I think the documentation today was pretty interesting to see my actual totals 😉 But I probably won’t do it tomorrow 😉 Just eat clean 🙂
