Typical Meal Plan

To give an idea of how I choose my meals that I eat each day, I am going to post what a typical day for me looks like. I obviously have variations each day, because I can't stand to eat the same things over and over! But at least you can get an idea as to what my day looks like. Something that I have found very useful when counting calories is an app called "My fitness pal." It has literally every food listed on it, and it helps you manage how much you should be eating for each meal. You can also log your exercise, too. It's an awesome tool to have!

6:00 am Breakfast (VERY important!) Always eat breakfast. It gets your metabolism going which helps you burn more calories throughout the day.
