My Food Diary: What I Eat in a Day

I am a self-professed foodie. I love the Food Network. I want to adopt Paula Deen. Baking is very therapeutic for me, and I like pushing myself to test new recipes and throw my own ideas into the mix (no pun intended). If you follow me on Twitter, you'd notice that despite having a beauty channel, 90% of my photos are of food. One of my first videos was "What I Eat in a Day" and I get at least 2-3 requests a day to see an updated version of that video. I contemplated for a while whether or not I wanted to put up a video like that. Food, diet and weight are very touchy subjects, especially for us girls, I'm very sensitive to what I put up online about it. I am not a health professional, and I do not encourage anyone to follow what I eat. I'm putting up this video for two reasons:1. For pure entertainment value. I like watching these kinds of videos because its fun watching what kinds of foods other people enjoy. Plus, there are some great recipe ideas too!2. To show that I'm normal. I don't always eat healthy, wholesome foods all the time (I admit, I do love a good homemade chocolate chip cookie). However, I do my best to fuel my body with healthy foods as often as I can.Remember that each and every one of us is unique, and our nutritional requirements differ. I strongly suggest that if you're struggling, to speak with your doctor to find meal ideas that fit your unique needs! :)Here some additional meal ideas based on things I tend to eat on a day-to-day basis:Breakfast- 2 eggs (or egg whites) scrambled with whole grain toast- Greek yogurt with bran flakes and berries- Homemade protein pancakesLunch- Almost always leftovers :P- My biggest tip is to buy a big pack of meat (or meat alternatives) and bake them all up on a weekend. Freeze any portions you won't consume and then use the rest throughout the week for salads and sandwiches.Dinner- Whole wheat spaghetti and turkey meatballs with homemade tomato sauce (crushed tomatoes, olive oil, spices, fresh basil)- steak, mashed potatoes (or sweet potatoes), broccoli sauteed in garlic and olive oil- Mediterranean fish with brown rice and- Beef pot roast- Chicken stirfry (homemade stiryfry sauce, chicken, a variety of veggies and brown rice)I hope you enjoy this video! :)
