🍆 Colour! 🥦 Fibre and veg. Every dish has to have at least 2 fruits and/or veggies or I just don't see it as a valid meal! 🌽 Diverse food. Try to switch up veg and protein sources each week to keep my microbiome in good shape. 🥣 Daily Greek yogurt for my gut (peep my fruit-filled yog bowl!) I swear by this for HEALING my once temperamental gut. 🥩 Protein prioritisation. This is non-negotiable. 🥕 Whole foods where possible. 📉 Stay conscious of my calories over the course of a day/week - think ahead and be logical about it. Ate out yesterday? Probably best not to do takeaway tonight. Having takeaway tonight? Make sure my fibre and veggies are high for the rest of my meals and snacks! 🤤 Ensure my food is TASTY! 🏃‍♀️ Adapt my food to my training where needed - do I need to up my carbs and calories? 💊 Supplement where necessary (SUPPLEMENT being the key word). E.g. a multivitamin on a hungover day where I know my food intake and food quality will be worse. Things I ALSO do: 🥰 Eat out socially… a lot 🍻 Drink alcohol about once per week 🥰 Get takeaway once a week (doesn't that beef rib look INSANE?! It was 😍) 🥰 Eat treats, and processed and ultra processed food fairly regularly. I just make sure I’m aware of what I'm doing, and I don’t buy them in the weekly shop. When it’s not in the house I am way less likely to go overboard! What 3 things do you prioritise with your diet?

This week I'd like to see members post about any lunch or dinner they've cooked with chicken! Whether that be pre-cooked, whole, breast, thighs or whatever else you fancy, share away. Chicken is a really lean source of protein, so it's perfect for weight loss - it keeps us full and helps maintain our muscle mass. The highest protein chicken source is breast, whereas darker chicken meat such as leg and thighs is lower in protein and higher in fat, so always check the nutrition label to see what works best for you! Breast is notoriously less flavoursome though, which does sometimes mean people then add more calories in flavour/sauce/spice, so be aware if this could be you!
