The unglamorous reality of staying lean and toned is that most of my meals are incredibly simple, and I eat many of them on repeat. They may not always be beautiful or exciting. Some of them honestly look like dog food. But I know how they make me feel, I know they help me reach my protein goals, and I know they keep me consistent. You do not need a brand new recipe every day or a perfectly styled plate at every meal. Find a few balanced meals made with whole foods that you genuinely enjoy, learn how to prepare them well, and keep coming back to them. For me, that usually means a quality source of protein, a simple carbohydrate, vegetables or fruit, and healthy fats. Repeating meals also removes so much decision fatigue. I am not constantly wondering what I should eat because I already have dependable meals that support my goals. #WhatIEatInADay #ModelDiet #HealthyHabits #HighProteinMeals #WholeFoodNutrition
