Hiya!
This is the first post in a series called “What I Ate This Week.” The goal of these posts are to inspire you to get some variety into your eating pattern, understand that not everyone eats only what they post on instagram and bring some realness to RD-eating. I think a lot of people assume RDs “eat perfectly” — by that I mean with a perfect distribution of macronutrients or “only healthy foods” and overall stellar looking food. In reality, that’s not really true. Sure, I meal prep some food, but I’m also human and grab whatever sounds good. You’ll see what I mean.
Lately breakfast has looked a lot like waffles, cereal, bagels, eggs, and fruit. I typically wait until I get to work to eat breakfast (just my preference), and I usually eat a bar an hour or two after I eat my initial breakfast (because ya girl gets hungry).
Lunch is all over the place, but I like to either have leftovers or pasta, homemade pizza, yogurt/fruit and popcorn/crackers, etc. Here’s a few I had this past week.
Dinner has been some combination of vegetables, protein and starch. Over the weekend, I visited Peter Chang’s in Arlington for the 3rd time in like a month, soooo yeah you should go if you haven’t been yet.
Snacks include ice cream (recently decided Ben & Jerry’s Cookie Dough Ice Cream is the best cookie dough option out there!), popcorn, cheese/pb crackers, fruit.
As you can see the bag is almost empty! These corn puffs are so good.
That about sums up the last week. Are you surprised? Interested in more post like these? Let me know! : )
