Here’s what I ate in a day, which added up to 145g of plant-based protein 🌱
This wasn’t a totally typical day of eating for me.. It was the first morning in months I actually craved a warm bowl of oatmeal instead of my usual cold smoothie (anyone else a daily smoothie person?)
I also switched out a few of my usual go-to protein sources. But, that’s the beauty of food freedom and understanding nutrition.
Whether your meals are planned or more spontaneous, comfort-based, goal-oriented, or somewhere in between- your favorites can ALL fit without guilt or restriction. Just awareness, intention, and flavor.
As a foodie, when I first started tracking macros over 4.5 years ago, I was afraid it would disconnect me from the joy of food. I worried it would become obsessive. But what I found was actually the opposite.
Awareness gave me freedom. Structure helped me feel safe to trust my body’s needs and cravings.And understanding my body’s needs helped me enjoy food MORE, not less.
Now I can eat meals I love, feel great in the gym, and know I’m fueling my body with enough protein and nutrients.
