Isn’t it funny how we like to know what others are eating? I’d like to act like I don’t care what people are eating, but I do. It’s interesting. My friend Jaelyn and I always talk to each other about our diet changes, pretty much every week. I strive to be stronger and better at CrossFit like her so I always wonder what she’s chowing down on.
So after a few people asked what I ate in a day, I decided to instagram it! Why wouldn’t I instagram?! I freaking love it. I take so many unneeded pictures, it’s just stupid. So if you follow me on instagram @paleomg, you’ve already been bored to tears with my food and JOKES ON YOU, you get to see it again.
So this was my food intake on Thursday. It was a rest day so I did absolutely no sort of exercise. It was awesome.
5:30am – Grande Americano from Starbucks with a side of heavy cream. I’m guessing I added about 3-4 tablespoons of heavy cream to my coffee….maybe drank a tablespoon or so from the cup. Whatever. I probably drank half of it. I get bored quickly.
8:00am- Breakfast included about 1/4 cup of blueberries, a ground bison burger with homemade paleo ketchup, mustard, and avocado on top.
10:30 – 12:00 – Shopping for girl clothes. This is how clothes fit. I need shorts. Blaaaaahh. Effin CrossFit. I found jeans though!! At Old Navy. Go there CrossFit women, go there.
12:00 – WHOLE FOODS TRIP!! I snacked on 5-6 dried figs
12:30 – Lunch from Whole Foods- shredded chicken, marinated mushrooms, artichokes, and roasted red peppers.
1:30 – I ate 2 failed pumpkin raspberry muffins. I guess the first failed one didn’t fail enough, so I had to try a second one….what? I’m dumb. They still tasted good, it was just like eating batter in the middle…which I guess I’m cool with.
5:00 – 3 glasses of iced tea at Happy Hour at Delite.
8:30 – For dinner, I ate a tuna steak. My crush cooked it up. I’ve always thought I hated tuna steaks and raw fish, but I loved it. Expanding my taste buds with a dude cooking for me! NBD.
Wow. Bored yet? I am. I have recently started to try to eat more, but kind of failed on this day. Trying to eat more protein, more frequently.
Sorry I just fell asleep…from boredom. Sorry my food and life aren’t more exciting. Shucks.
i think that abs shop might be the best advertisement for cross fit and paleo i’ve ever seen – sold!
Great abs! Great images! What a man to cook tuna like that! 3 thumbs up!! How do you train & work for a couple of hours before breakfast? Does the cream get you through? I would be starving.
I love you, and I love your abs. I also love reading about other people’s food. My blog is essentially a daily journal about food, training, sleep, & stress, for my trainer to keep an eye on me. I LOVE to read the same stuff from other people…freakish obsession. But partly I think it’s helpful to see that others are eating less than me and that’s why they look fucking amazeballs and I do not…yet.
Anyway, I am glad you shared. Your lunch looks delicious and so simple, I might be whipping that up this weekend. And also, I love undercooked batter-y baked goods.
After some thought, I have devised a solution for your shorts issues: let’s trade willpower!
Your tummy will then expand to fit that waistband fo’ sho’!!
A crossfitter fried of mine told me to try the shorts in juniors dept at Kohls. They worked for her! I saw them on–she has orange and they’re cute.
Express didn’t work for me. I almost cried. Then I decided to buy them anyway and either use a belt or have a “dart” put in the back by a tailor. (that will remove extra fabric in the waist!!!)
I have reverted back to 501 guy jeans rolled into capris. Comfy and fit around my hips! Gaaaaa! Hips.
Whole Foods is seriously dangerous for me. If I go anywhere near their bulk section I turn into a ravenous beast. Usually for the dried strawberries. So good.
I’ve never had a tuna steak before, but that actually looks pretty good. May have to look into it!
Ahh! I am so happy you posted this. I wish you would post what you eat everyday! It would be very motivating!
Food diary posts = boring for you… but I’m not seeing any complaints! =)
Hey Juli, I have a similar problem with waistbands and I’m telling you, find a decent seamstress and get your shorts/jeans/skirts/pants tailored to fit. It’s totally worth it. For an extra $20 you will have the best fitting clothes. Don’t even think about it, just do it. I guarantee you’ll never look back.

P.S. This is my first post, I’m obsessed with your blog. I served up a variation on your green chile crock pork recipe and it was a show stopper.
I actually love this post; it provides great context to what you actually eat. I figured it wasn’t always desserts. 😀
