Back with another “What I Eat in a Day” as a girl who struggles to eat enough. 🤍 I’m really focusing on balanced pairings—making sure I have a good mix of carbs, protein, and healthy fats because it’s the best way to keep my energy steady all day long. 📈
Here is what I had today:
• Breakfast: A sausage and 3-egg McMuffin. 🥯🥚 (A high-protein, savory start to get the day moving).
• Lunch: Pear chicken salad. 🥗🍐 (Light, fresh, and perfectly balanced).
• Dinner: Cajun shrimp orzo. 🍤🥘 (One of my favorite flavorful, nourishing meals).
• Sweet Treat: A mini muffin and tea. 🧁☕️ (The perfect cozy way to end the night).
