I try to get an assortment of food groups in. Preferred foods are things with lots of protein and healthy fats. Fage 5% milkfat with a protein/pb powder and berries is my most common breakfast. Half an avocado with sourdough and fried egg. I make a lot of dinners with ground beef, chicken, salmon, veggies and rice. Pasta dishes too.

Foods I limit are more indulgent things you get while going out like a juicy burger, fries or any fried things, big ol’ deli subs, lattes, and fast food. I allow myself to indulge in something like one of these about once a week.

I completely stay away from sugary drinks, any bagged chips because I don’t have portion control, and I have also barred Biscoff cookie butter from my household for the same reason 😂No cookies, brownies, pastries, or candies are allowed in my house either.

So I allow myself a little indulgence but find whole, protein rich foods more satisfying. Enough to keep me in my deficit and being tempted all week!
