What I Ate Wednesday {RD Edition}

My RD/food blogger buddy, Carlene from Healthfully Ever After (whom I only wish I had half of her fashion sense and design skills), tagged me to participate in this “What I Ate Wednesday RD Edition”.

For some reason, what the dietitian is eating is of interest to my clients. I had an athlete ask me today…do you eat clean?? I’m like ummmm…as I think back at the cookie I munched on the day before. I explained I live by the 80/20 rule. I like to eat well most of the time, but I so leave room for little sweets. So here’s a recap of my Monday eats. {all pics taken with iPhone}

The day started out with a super early morning, 4:30 am wake up call. We didn’t do CrossFit but I was pretty pumped about the day. First things first, coffee with a little half and half (not pictured, sorry– it was probably too dark anyways).

Around 5am I had a Van’s Gluten Free Ancient Grains Waffle with Peanut Butter and Blueberries.

I usually wake up hungrier and crave eggs, but not this morning so I did a little reading until Eric woke up. We needed some groceries because of the packed Mother’s day weekend, so I headed to the store when they opened. When I got home I snacked on a handful of Dark Chocolate Covered Plums while I put away the groceries.

I started working on my computer and about an hour in I made a latte with 2% milk in my Nespresso machine. The only downer to homemade drinks is my mug doesn’t keep the heat in and after drinking a few sips it’s cold.

Around 10am, I made this Pink Power Detox Smoothie that I pinned a while back. I had peeled beets in the fridge so I took the plunge.  It was pretty good, for a beet drink. I juiced a lime and added that as well to mask the beet flavors a bit more. Definitely could only finish half, it’s super filling and seems more like 2 servings to me.

1pm ish. Chipotle Leftovers. Super good, of course! I’m not complaining about their big portions because if I’m hungry I can eat more and if not, I get leftovers! And $10 for two meals, I think that’s a pretty good deal too.

4pm Greek Yogurt, Chobani Peach… never disappoints.

4:30pm Banana… I always get super hungry around this time.

8:30pm Pulled Pork with Onions, Apple Slaw, and Sweets & Beets Chips. Mondays are marathons for us because we attend ReGroup at our church. This meal was the real deal, comfort food, and needed on a Monday night when you’re exhausted.

Homemade Chocolate Ice Cream… I had a craving for fro yo but was too tired to go out, so I whipped up a batch of ice cream with chocolate milk, cream, and sugar. Omgosh, it was like chocolate milkshake flavor! Yummy end to the night.
