We’re back for another round of “what I eat in a day”! I am constantly getting questions about my diet/nutrition and while it’s constantly changing these days (thanks Hashis), I still love documenting a day in the life to show you that healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring and bland.
Let’s dive in!
A FULL DAY OF EATING
Nutrition notes: Gluten and dairy-free, no sugar (natural or artificial), no processed foods
Notes: I’m currently not tracking calories/macros at this point. Learning to eat a little more intuitively.
Note: My diet/nutrition are personal to me and is based on what has been recommended by my doctor. Before making any changes to your nutrition or diet, please consult with your physician or dietician.
