Here’s What I Eat in a Day as a 35-year-old mom of three who’s 5’9” and moves her body 45–60 minutes every day 💪🏼

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with eating before I exercise (I work out at 5:30am 😅) after listening to an amazing podcast about circadian rhythm and hormone health—and I’ve noticed a big difference in how I feel!

🌞 Pre-Workout Fuel:

• ¾ cup plain Greek yogurt + berries + a drizzle of honey = 18g of protein to kickstart my day
• Hot tea on the side

💪🏼 Post-Workout Breakfast:

• High-protein bagel sandwich (with chicken sausage, egg, lettuce, tomato & a protein-rich Greek yogurt spread)

• Green smoothie packed with nutrients

💧 Hydration:

• At least a gallon of water daily – infused with seasonal fruit & veggies to make it more fun

🥗 Lunch:

• Asian Power Bowl – takes under 5 minutes to assemble and is great for meal prep!

🍫 Afternoon Snack:

• Homemade Heavenly Hunk Bar—a sweet treat with better ingredients and a boost of protein

🍽️ Dinner:

• Creamed corn orzo with air fryer chicken and broccoli
  I swap half & half for Greek yogurt to lower saturated fat and up the protein – my kids LOVE this meal!

Eating whole, nutrient-dense foods throughout the day helps me feel my best. I don’t stress about what I “can’t” have – I focus on how my food makes me feel and how it fuels my body.

Everyone’s food journey is unique, but I hope this gives you some inspiration for adding variety and balance into your meals!
