I would like to give a HUGGEEEEEE shout out to my online client NAUREEN.
She did an amazing job in her contest prep and last week successfully competed in her FIRST ALL-NATURAL BIKINI COMPETITION! Go, girl! Total rockstar.

I AM on a IIFYM plan in that I am assigned macros from my nutritionist, and then I can choose whatever foods that hit those macros. However, if you want to label me, I tend to choose foods that are considered traditional “clean eating” foods.
Here is my typical meal plan that I created for myself:
