I am often asked what I usually eat in order to keep my slim figure, so I have decided to take pictures of some of my favorite meals and post them here. Most of my meals are home made and I try balancing my macronutrients (the ration between carbohydrates, protein, and fats) according to my fitness goals and body type. I am an ectomorph, which means that my body handles carbohydrates quite well and I don’t put on weight too easily. Also, I have been trying to gain muscle mass, meaning that my diet contains a little more calories, protein and carbs than if I wanted to maintain or lose weight. Besides, I have a very active lifestyle which allows me to indulge a little more than a sedentary person. That said, here goes a day worth of food in my life.
Breakfast – Wholegrain English muffin with spinach, avocado, smoked salmon and poached egg. Kiwi fruit and tea.
Mid morning snack – Protein shake (after workout), banana, rice cakes with peanut butter.
Lunch – Salad with mixed greens, herbs, sprouts and carrots, basmati rice and chicken breast. Mandarin and water.
Mid afternoon snack – Can of sardines with rice crackers. Apple and coffee (soy latte).
Dinner – Turkey ragu over polenta, wild rice pilaf, and rocket salad.
