What I Eat

So a week ago (or so) I wrote a post about why chicken can taste wonderful and be healthy for those that are conscious of their bodies. I failed to mention the major components of what I eat on a daily basis, so I will give you a rundown of my diet.

Breakfast:
1) Egg omelets (2 eggs and cheddar cheese) with vegetables (broccoli, peppers, onions, potatoes, tomatoes or anything else you may want to eat;
2) Two eggs, over easy, cheddar cheese underneath, between and on top of the eggs all between two pieces of nut wheat bread (or whatever type of wheat/grain bread I have);
3) Cereal (organic or Wheaties, some kind of flake) with fruit (usually blueberries and strawberries);
or
4) Oatmeal with raisins, strawberries, walnuts, and/or chocolate chips.

I usually eat the carbs heavy dishes less regularly, I stead my vegetables, and I put more fruit than cereal into my dish.

Snack #1:
For snack one, two hours after breakfast, I usually eat a piece of fruit, maybe some yogurt, a fruit smoothie (strawberry, bananas, and milk), or some other breakfast oriented snack.

Lunch:
1) Chicken like I stated previously, in any way that I mentioned
and/or
2) Salad (I will get into salad on another day)
and/or
3) Steamed vegetables (I will get into this on another day as well)

I usually eat fist sized portions of any of these foods, i.e. a quarter chicken breast, 1-2 cups of veggies, or a small bowl of salad, or some combination of these. I usually pick two of the items above.

Snack #2:
For snack 2, two hours after lunch, I usually eat something like nuts or trail mix, yogurt, #2 or 3 in the lunch section or something else I have have on a non-regular day (no carbs, no sweets, keep it to protein, fruits and vegetables).

Dinner:
Depending on what I eat for lunch, I will have the outlying item from that list accompanied by another eaten for the second time in that day, OR:
1) Tuna Salad (onions, celery, lettuce, mayo, and Essence) on top of two slices of bread, maybe with cheese on top;
2) Some sort of chicken dish in my arsenal, Alfredo, Marsala, all depending on how I feel that day; this usually does not happen often but I can't eat the same thing every day.

Snack #3:
For snack three, I may eat a bowl of frozen grapes, a banana, an orange, some other piece of fruit, or an apple with peanut butter; I keep this snack light because it is close to bedtime!

So as you see, I eat about 6 meals per day, spaced out usually as follows: Breakfast between 8 and 9, S#1 at around 11, Lunch at 12:30, S#2 at around 3:30, Dinner at 6, S#3 at around 9 or 10.

In the next couple of posts I will go into detail about salad, and steamed vegetables, in a similar manner to my breakdown of chicken. Both of these foods have many alternatives that will make you never want to eat any other types of food again!

That will be it for tonight, enjoy eating healthy and as always, thanks for reading!
