Instead of having to read/listen to my ramblings writing about something fitness related for this What I Ate Wednesday, I’m going to share the link love! Here are some of my favorite recent posts from around the web:

Now onto yesterday’s eats…
Pre-workout, post-workout: usual BCAAs
Meal 1: banana protein souffle muffin with pb and strawberries. These muffins are amazing – recipe will up on Friday!
Meal 2: apple and almonds, the usual
Meal 3: turkey meatloaf muffins with raw zucchini, red cabbage, carrot, and small sweet potato wedges. Topped with tons of red pepper flakes, naturally. (this was Monday’s lunch since I forgot to snap a picture of my lunch yesterday!)
Meal 4: homemade 2% greek yogurt with half scoop protein powder, cinnamon, and unpictured PB
Meal 5: turkey bacon, kale, tomato (BLT) omelettes!
Meal 6: a little treat – small farmers market peach with cinnamon (I put insane amounts of cinnamon on everything) & square of dark chocolate

Thanks for the hunger fear link!! I really struggle with that as my mom’s favorite phrase growing up was, “You better eat something so you don’t get hungry!” I’ve been trying IF with no snacking and it is scary but feels great!
You’re welcome! I’ve always struggled with hunger fear and IF has really helped me get in tune with my body’s hunger signals. It also helped me realize that being hungry isn’t the end of the world!
Chocolate! I’m about to get my chocolate on for snack, can’t wait
Can’t live without my dark chocolate!
I’ve never had protein powder with my Greek yoghurt but it’s a fabulous idea! A true protein kick! Can’t wait for the banana protein souffle muffin. Sounds great!!! Happy WIAW!!!
Love protein packed Greek yogurt – such a filling and yummy snack!
Thanks for the link love! Those muffins look awesome
Thanks!
