Thank goodness for my friend Heather or I would have no pictures to put on my random blog posts. I wish I had one of me eating. REALLY weird that I don’t. And disappointing. I’ll eat in more public places from now on. With a camera man by my side.
I don’t know if you care about what I eat, but I’m going to put it out there anyways. A couple people have asked what I eat on a daily basis, especially during CrossFit competition season, so I thought I’d share. I eat different every day, depending on what I’ve made that week for my blog or what I have on hand for random crap that wasn’t worth posting. I make a lot of random burgers when I don’t know what to make.
My breath smells like onions.
Ok, so this day of meals is from Wednesday. My schedule is really weird being a coach and having to blog/cook at random times of the day so I tend to eat at awkward times as well. Be prepared to be bored!
- 4:15am- wake up time- usually will have a cup of coffee
- 5:30am- coaching
- 6:30am- breakfast–> ~4oz leftover chicken breast, 6-7 large strawberries, 1 grande americano with heavy cream (probably drank 2/3 of it)
- 7:15-10am- coaching
- 10:30am- workout + strength session
- 11:45am- protein drink (I do about 6-8 oz water with 1/2 scoop Simply Pure Nutrients Recovery Fuel)
- 12:00pm- made food for the day — snacked while I cooked–> 1.5 pieces bacon, 1-2 oz beef, handful of walnuts
- 1:30pm- lunch–> ~3-4oz grass fed beef, 1/4 onion caramelized, 1 piece of bacon, 1/2 small avocado
- 3:00pm- 2nd workout + muscle up practice
- 4:00-8:00pm- coaching
- 8:30pm- dinner–>2 southwest turkey sliders and a bit of slaw
- 10:00pm- late night snacks while I blog–> 3 strawberries, some walnuts, 1 southwest slider
Wow. You bored yet? Me too. All that food looks like dog doo doo. I get lazy with my camera phone when the food looks like poo. And I have shaky hands. I’m a nervous person. Not really.
So, got any questions? Are you thinking…”Say wha?! This Juli chick is effing whack” or “I can’t believe this girl drinks protein shakes! I thought she called herself paleo?! Fraud!” or “OMG I can’t believe she eats past 7pm! She sucks at life” Don’t worry people, I know. But I would definitely love to hear from you no matter what you have to say!
Thanks for sharing- but you really do need more sleep!
Couldn’t agree more, but I gotta stay up to post these recipes and comment 😉
I almost ate one of your strawberries after the 150 wall balls Wednesday morning! They were sitting unattended and looked very tempting 😉
They were beautiful huh?
4:15am? you crazy.
right? oh lord
Hey Juli!! Love your blog!! Read it all the time….and FYI you rock!! You are doing awesome in the games!! I saw that you use the Simply Pure recovery for your shake. I have been taking gluticor the last few weeks to help with my recovery. The games has been rough on all of us!! A lot of the crossfitters in my box take it and swear by it, but I don’t think it works for muscle recovery as well as I would like. Does the stuff you use really help for the soreness? Im looking for a new product and would love your input!
I wouldn’t say it helps with soreness, I use fish oil for that. But it does help me feel less fatigued and more prepared for another wod, especially if I am doing 2 in a day!
I think its interesting to see what people eat actually! Although I think I’d be eating nearly double this if I had your job and workout schedule hah but everyone’s different of course!
haha I would totally eat more if I could!
It actually doesn’t seem like you eat a whole lot of food. Definitely not as much as you make it seem, lol, but obviously this is just a little bit of info in the whole picture. I only agree with the lady above. You don’t have a whole lot of veggies going on. You could blend (magic bullet) frozen kale leaves into your protein shake. I even out the flavor with a little bit of frozen berries too. And don’t worry about people commenting on dairy. I eat Greek yogurt and cheese occasionally too…you’re fine!
Lol I really do like veggies Amber, I love eating them. I just gain weight very easily, including with veggies, so I don’t consume a ton of carbs
BAHA. I just found your blog recently – I thought this post was really cute/hilarious. I’m not normally a “food blogger” but I’ve taken it up for this month since I’m doing the Whole30 challenge. It gets monotonous and I’m not sure I’ll have any blog followers left after 30 days of it.
Regarding your paleo-fraud? I say “MEH. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. People can be all kinds of uptight about their paleo ‘rules’… if it works for you it works for you.
Haha thanks Juliet! Glad you feel the same way I do!
I also agree that you need a lot more vegetables if this is your typical diet. wilted spinach, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels..sleep is also a part of a good diet as someone also noted. you might not feel you need more but you might notice you feel better if you got closer to 8 hours.
Completely agree susannah, and if I could get more sleep I totally would
It looks like it works for you, JB cuz you’re crazy strong and you look great! You’re also the devil for bringing me such recipes as Banana Bread, Caramel Pecan Bars, and chocolate coconut bark!
Thanks Juliet, I really appreciate that comment. And I hate myself for my treat inventions too
Not worrying about good eats today because it’s St. Patrick’s Day and I am wearing my new black PaleOMG tee which arrived yesterday! OK, I will have cabbage with my turkey sliders tonight.
You’re awesome Frank!!
