This dinner was brilliant for macros! Loads of prawns in a cayane pepper, smoked paprika, parsley & tomato sauce. Leeks, kale & garlic, along with edamame pasta from Lidl which I'd strongly recommend (20g protein for a 50g portion!). Prawns are high protein and low calorie, so great when trying to lose fat.

Scrambled eggs with extra whites, and chives from the garden! Remember, fresh herbs also contain micronutrients

🍆 Colour! 🥦 Fibre and veg. Every dish has to have at least 2 fruits and/or veggies or I just don't see it as a valid meal! 🌽 Diverse food. Try to switch up veg and protein sources each week to keep my microbiome in good shape. 🥣 Daily Greek yogurt for my gut (peep my fruit-filled yog bowl!) I swear by this for HEALING my once temperamental gut. 🥩 Protein prioritisation. This is non-negotiable. 🥕 Whole foods where possible. 📉 Stay conscious of my calories over the course of a day/week - think ahead and be logical about it. Ate out yesterday? Probably best not to do takeaway tonight. Having takeaway tonight? Make sure my fibre and veggies are high for the rest of my meals and snacks! 🤤 Ensure my food is TASTY! 🏃‍♀️ Adapt my food to my training where needed - do I need to up my carbs and calories? 💊 Supplement where necessary (SUPPLEMENT being the key word). E.g. a multivitamin on a hungover day where I know my food intake and food quality will be worse. Things I ALSO do: 🥰 Eat out socially… a lot 🍻 Drink alcohol about once per week 🥰 Get takeaway once a week (doesn't that beef rib look INSANE?! It was 😍) 🥰 Eat treats, and processed and ultra processed food fairly regularly. I just make sure I’m aware of what I'm doing, and I don’t buy them in the weekly shop. When it’s not in the house I am way less likely to go overboard! What 3 things do you prioritise with your diet?

Absolutely adore this brunch. Was shocked to see just how calorific it is though!! 🙈 It's a good example of something you'd get in a 'healthy' cafe - but healthy doesn't always mean sensible calories. This is a great fuel post workout. Lime, chilli flakes, smoked paprika & seasoning in the smashed avo. Spring onions in the eggs (try it if you haven't it's so good!) and extra egg whites for bulk. And grilled toms. Ways to lean this dish: - remove avo (this was half a large, but definitely more like a medium when stone was removed) - English muffin or bagel thin, as opposed to a full bagel - Cooked ham as opposed to bacon - Trimming any excess fat from the bacon (or you could be anal like me and only buy the leanest cuts you can find 😂) It's got a whopping 65g protein, so will keep you suitably satisfied for hours!!

I feel it's so unreasonable that I like it so much when it's literally just pasta in a different shape 😂 Key with keeping pasta dinners low calorie is not going by the recommended portion. Most people don't need 75g (raw weight) pasta each. I'd suggest cutting pasta portions down to 60 or 65g raw weight, and bulking out with protein & veggies, for a leaner dish. This dinner was a bit kiss-me-quick but pretty tasty. Extras that went in: oregano, a bit of ketchup!, Tabasco, garlic granules & chicken stock cube. Beans were added for bulk and a dash more protein & fibre.
