NEVER compromise on eating your favourite foods! Instead, let me help you cook them yourself to make it healthier, low calorie, high protein and flavourful. Here’s a full day of eating to help me lose weight and build muscle!👇🏼 - 1. Brownie Baked Oat Cake • Who said you can’t have cake for breakfast?! This is a great spin on having oatmeal to start your day. It has a rich, brownie flavour, and is sweetened naturally with whole ingredients. I actually baked 4 servings and stored the remaining in the fridge for the rest of the week. - 2. Beef Fried Rice • Super filling and a great source of protein. I also like to get a good serving of mixed vegetables in here. This took me about 15 minutes to make because it was all done in one pan and I had leftover rice! - 3. Pancake Muffins • One of my absolute favourite protein desserts. These were meal prepped the night before and a great snack on the go. They not only give me a burst of energy for the second half of the day, but also pack enough protein equivalent of a protein shake. - 4. Hot Honey Chicken Pizza • Made from scratch, down to the greek yogurt based dough! These have an incredible amount of protein and has allowed me to fit pizza into my diet. This maxes out my protein intake and I feel very satisfied for the rest of the night! - Throughout the day, I also have 4L of water, and a handful of high fibre fruit such as blueberries and raspberries. - - #recipe #cooking #homecooking #food #mealprep #protein #healthy #lowcalorie #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #eat #eating #weightloss #muscle #fitnessjourney #motivation
