In today’s what I eat in a day, I’m sharing a full day of simple, realistic meals and snacks that help me stay on track with higher-protein choices. I started my morning with my water and coffee, then made protein pancakes (about 15 grams of protein). I paired that with a banana and a little bit of Scoff crunchy cookie butter—yes, it’s 180 calories for two tablespoons, but I’m willing to sacrifice some calories for it because I love it so much. For lunch, I kept it easy with Greek yogurt and chia seeds (I had it pre-made), plus Catalina Crunch cereal—love this stuff. I also tossed in a few butterscotch kiss pieces, and I heated up my leftover Chipotle to round out the meal. Later on, I grabbed a Built Bar to take with me because we were headed out and I knew we’d be there a while. This day was extra special because Sophia went to get her learner’s permit, and I was so excited for her. After we finished up, we were starving, so we stopped at McDonald’s and I got a 10-piece nugget with barbecue sauce. Before bed, I ended the day with one and a half hard-boiled eggs.
