Hi, sweet friends. I’ve been promising to share an updated 3 Day Food Diary for awhile, and here it is!
First, a few things:
- I usually eat meat (ground turkey) once a week on Taco Tuesday. Otherwise, no meat for me.
- I have always been an 80/20 girl. 80% of the time, I’m eating well and fueling my body with greens and fresh food. 20% of the time, I’m eating sweets and preservatives. It’s just how it is.
- I am NOT a foodie. I am not at all adventurous with food, and I can eat the same thing every day for months on end.
- I am still doing Intermittent Fasting, and will generally fast 6pm – 9/10am each day. I will still have my coffee right when I wake up.
- I’m still breastfeeding and I tried to share overall what I eat – some days I eat more and some days I eat less.

FOOD DIARY: DAY ONE
COFFEE
Coffee is the reason I get up in the morning, and I will have 1 or 2 cups before I break my fast.
BREAKFAST
I usually break my fast post-workout. One of my go-to’s is Greek Yogurt with granola + fruit.
A cup of 0% plain Fage greek yogurt with Purely Elizabeth Original granola, strawberries + a drizzle of honey. Sometimes I switch it up and add blueberries and shaved almonds.
LUNCH
one piece of Ezekiel bread (toasted)
1/4 avocado
1 fried egg
handful of arugula
red pepper flakes
AFTERNOON SNACK
Yes, I stole this from the kids. One of my favorite kombuchas + it satisfies my sweet tooth.
DINNER
Mixed greens + arugula
mini peppers

cucumber
cauliflower

This is great! Does your family eat the same that you eat or do you make them something else? I have a 4 year old and can’t imagine her eating a big salad like that!
Most of the time, my kids will eat some of what we’re eating and then I’ll make sure they also have something they like. My husband will always eat what I eat, but sometimes I will make him some meat to have on the side. Hope this helps! xo
Thank you for posting this! Yep, coffee is the reason for waking! I make a ritual once a week and make my cold brew, I buy expensive shade grown, organic, fair trade, local and fresh roasted coffee beans haha coffee is life. I have no hobbies or time for myself, my coffee is all I have.
Ha! This sounds amazing and I feel like we would be friends who bond over coffee 🙂 xo
That seems like very little food. I’d be starving!
This was really helpful!! I have enjoyed watching you on your postpartum journey. You are an inspiration and you look amazing!! 💛💛
