Finally Home

Wow this summer went fast. Before I knew it I was on the plane headed back to my family, the states, and my new apartment. I will have pictures of the apartment coming soon, but first I want to show you what I've been up to in our little kitchen!

Last night: homemade marinara + whole wheat organic penne + bed of spinach + glass of skim milk

Today's Breakfast: french toast + peanut butter + banana + drizzle of syrup

For lunch today: pan fried tilapia + spinach + pat of butter

Amazing.

p.s. I use "lunch" sized plates, so portions appear rather large in photos. Just a heads up!

4x4x4x4

After trying and trying to figure out what eating pattern works for me, I have figured out some loose guidelines that help me when planning my food.

Eat 4 times a day

Every 4 hours

About 400 calories each meal

4 a happy me!

Obviously these are only guidelines. If I know I'm going to do a hard workout, for example, I make sure to eat a little before and after so my body doesn't go all "starvation mode" on me. And of course the food included in this is all healthy and good! Yum yum. 

Here was my dinner for tonight:

mmm!
