My Current Eating Plan

Breakfast

1/2 cup raw oats

2 scoops Chocolate Protein Shake

Cup of coffee

Snack

Fat-free yoghurt/apple

2 scoops Protein Shake in water

Lunch

150g Fillet Chicken

1 (BIG ASS) Salad

(Every now-and-again) Add 2 slices Whole-wheat toast/Rye Panini

Snack

Yoghurt (plain, fat-free), Peanut butter and 2 scoops Protein Shake mix

Supper

150g chicken/ 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg-scrambled

Lots of vegetables

Or

150g Sweet potato chips

I eat like this most days however I try not to stay too rigid because I then associate my eating with being on a ‘diet’ and when I have the opportunity to 'cheat' I eat myself into a food coma and all my effort is wasted. My eating plan is then varied and adapted to what I need at the time (obviously- I don’t need things like sugar, etc. and neither do you!) Sometimes I will include a protein bar, when I am craving something a little sweet and different. I also include carbs in my diet (they are not the enemy!) Ultimately, I go about how I feel. When I am extra hungry I will add some carbs and if not then I will rather leave it out.

At the end-of-the day it is all about balance. I have been on to many diets that are impossible to maintain and quite frankly, leave me miserable. So find your balance and what is sustainable for YOU. Obviously, make sound choices with you eating; we already know what they are- no sugar, no refined/white products, less diet cooldrinks and smaller portions, etc. Read up and choose the best plan that suits you and your needs and again, ice-cream is not a need it’s a 'cheat' ;)

Quick and Easy Flapjacks

These are great for a snack cause they are possibly the easiest and quickest flapjacks to make. The fact that they taste great is a big bonus in my book. I am all about flavour because bland, boring healthy food is not my style. I prefer the flavourful food that is also good for you.

(This recipe was inspired by a recipe I found off a blog post which I then adapted.)

Ingredients:

1 (big) banana

2 eggs (I used 1 whole and 1 egg white)

1 scoop chocolate/vanilla whey protein shake

2 tbs raw desiccated coconut

1 tsp vanilla essence

Blitz all the ingredients in a blender.

Heat a frying pan until nice and hot, spray with non-stick cooking spray, and cook away.

Serve with fat-free plain yoghurt and cinnamon. (or whatever other toppings you may like.)

Quick, easy and simple.

Enjoy!

Delicious and Simple Protein Flapjacks

Protein Flapjacks

I have always loved the challenge of taking a seemingly unhealthy dish and transforming it into a Jamie-Eason-would-approve meal. Imagine my delight when I tried adapting my protein pancake recipe only to stumble upon flapjacks instead. (I know, they really are sort-of the same thing) However, they are far spongier and dense than their slimmer and lighter food relatives.

Here is the recipe which makes about 10 (medium-ish) flapjacks in total. If you are keeping it extra healthy add a tablespoon of almond butter as a topping. If, however, you feel a little adventurous (dare-I-say) drench it in caramel syrup.

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup oatmeal (oat flour)

1/2 Fat-free cottage cheese (smooth/plain)

1/2 Cup Chocolate/Cappuccino whey protein

1 Mashed banana (optional)

1/2 cup Egg whites

Blend all the ingredients together in a blender (Or mix vigorously in a big bowl). Use a tablespoon to drop flapjack mixture onto a warm pan (sprayed with cook and spray)

Enjoy!

So, the first step in releasing your obsession on food so that you will not gorge yourself when you are “off plan” is to simply stop stressing over it. Try it. See what happens. The old way will always be there for you. Give it 4-8 weeks. Stop measuring, just workout because it makes you feel good, not because you have to. Do whatever you can. Do your best. I don’t think the results will be nearly as catastrophic as you think. In fact, I think you will feel a lot more liberated.

Strawberry Protein Bars

I found this recipe off the simply amazing, all-things-protein, blog proteinnpow.com. I was actually (very) pleasantly surprised how good these bars tasted. Although, unless you are a master craftsmen at moulding, these protein bars come out more like 'logs' than bars but who cares about shape when it tastes so darn good?

So, great taste and far better for you than the store bought variety; it is also really simple to make. Dipping the inside of the bars into the melted dark chocolate is the real fun part though. (Points if you can actually resist eating the melted dark chocolate.)

I adapted the ingredients ever so slightly, to accommodate me in what ingredients I had available.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup berry/strawberry whey

1/2 cup coconut flour (I used raw coconut)

1/4 cup fat-free milk (or almond milk)

2/4 Dark Chocolate bar. ( I used 85% dark chocolate)

Melt the dark chocolate.

Combine all the ingredients into a doughy mixture (add milk if the mixture is to dry and add coconut flour/protein powder if the mixture is to wet) Form balls from the mixture and place on wax paper.

Flatten the balls into bars/logs.

Dip the bars into the melted dark chocolate (or pour over)

Refrigerate for 1hour

Enjoy!
