What I Eat in a Day

I view myself as a relatively healthy eater, whilst of course allowing myself treats at the weekend. Life is all about balance!
Most of the time, I use an app called MyFitnessPal to track my daily food consumption, this is a fairly new concept that i have been doing. Tracking my calories each day has educated me on how much I previously over ate without realising & highlighted 'health' foods that are actually full of hidden calories or artificial sugars.

I am also a keen fitness enthusiast and know the importance of fuelling your body with the right foods.
On a average, I consume between 1500-1600 calories (this number is tailored to my personal height, weight & overall fitness goal).

I tend to have three main meals, incorporating snacks in between; because I am a serial snacker.

On this particular day, I attend two different cardio based workout classes. I enjoy early morning classes as I tend to work my best in a fasted state (on an empty stomach). The concept of fasted cardio is proven to be a great method to burn fat, but aside from that I just prefer to workout in the morning. After my gruelling 6.45am circuit class I am always pretty ravenous and gasping for a coffee.

Note: I try to consume 3-4litres of water every single day. This is so important for not only your health, but personally I have seen massive improvements in my skin.
Also, if you struggle to feel full or find yourself eating out of total boredom; drink a large glass of water because sometimes your body tends to just be dehydrated & not actually hungry!

Mid Morning Snack

Apple & Peanut/Almond Butter (£1.50)
This snack is very filling & contains health fats & protein to keep me full until lunchtime.
This can easily be made at home, you do not need to buy the one shown. Just ensure you do research when picking your preferred nut butter. The LESS ingredients the BETTER.

Dinner

2 Large organic eggs
2 slices of protein bread
1/2 an avocado
Fresh red chilli
Garlic salt
Black pepper

Method 
Boil or poached eggs (I opt for boiled as I have still not mastered the skill to poach eggs perfectly)
For soft boiled eggs, 6 minutes is perfect
For the avocado, carefully cut in half & use the side without the stone in it (The other side should stay fresh covered in the fridge with the stone). Chop and remove skin. Mash together with chopped chilli, garlic salt and crushed black pepper.
Place the mashed avocado on each slice of toast, then once your eggs are boiled the way you desire, peel, slice & serve.
