Top 20

One of the most common questions I get asked about health and fitness is "what are you eating?".
Food is hard, because when you are first starting out you don't know what to eat, and there are times when you have been eating this way for so long that you simply run out of ideas and/or forget about different meals and foods. Over the past week or so I have compiled a list of the top 20 healthy foods that I eat on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis.

Breakfast:

1. 1/2 cup of oatmeal with 1tbs of almond butter mixed in.
2. Eggs scrambled with tomato and avocado on the side.
3. Toasted ezekiel bread with almond butter.
4. Fruit smoothie.
5. Plain greek yogurt with cinnamon, fruit and occasionally almond butter.

(Can you tell I love almond butter?)

Lunch: 

6. Tuna wrapped in lettuce and a whole wheat wrap
7. Spinach salad with berries, almonds and balsamic vinegar.
8. Turkey and tomato wrapped in lettuce with a side of fruit or veggies.
9.  Baked sweet potato and side spinach salad.
10. Grilled chicken, broccoli and brown rice OR a sweet potato.

Dinner: 

11. Turkey burger with grilled mushroom & onion, grilled whole green beans
12. "Spaghetti" & meatballs. Using zucchini or spaghetti squash for pasta and turkey for meatballs.
13.  Baked chicken with sweet potato, squash and zucchini seasoned, EVOO and baked in one pan.
14. Taco night, lettuce taco that is! Ground turkey, black beans, salsa, avocado, lettuce, lime, greek yogurt (replaces sour cream), grilled onion and peppers.
15. Strips of grilled chicken cooked in EVOO and seasoned, over seasoned and baked red potatoes and broccoli.

Snacks:

16. Protein shake. I have one daily, and highly recommend Garden of Life "Raw Fit".
17. Plain greek yogurt with berries, nuts, cinnamon.
18. Handful of almonds and dark chocolate chips.
19. Fruit and raw veggies.
20. Hard boiled eggs.

There you have it! I don't take any vitamin supplements as I try to eat what I need vitamin wise. Drink half of my weight in ounces of water daily which I have found to be key and very important when trying to lose weight. I also try hard to eat high protein every day. On occasion I run into a really good healthy recipe and I will post it, but for the most part I am boring and eat these same foods all of the time!
