Tell me about your healthy diet

Cottage cheese with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast and some sort of Trader Joe's seasoning. The Green Goddess is pretty good. If you have time, throw some diced up vegetables in it.

It's fast, it's easy, it's not to bad for you and has a lot of protein. My husband is horrified, but a lot of things mess with my digestive system and this one never has.

That’s not gross, it sounds delicious! I am a daily cottage cheese consumer and I just scoop it plain with crackers. If I’m out of crackers I sprinkle on whatever I have - pistachios, hemp hearts, the broken chips at the bottom of the Tostitos bag…you get the idea.

Late 30s. I prioritize protein, not bc the fitness industry tells me to, but because it keeps me full for so much longer than a meal without protein or too little protein. I’m also currently attempting body recomp where I lose fat but not muscle. Usually every meal has one of the following proteins: plain Greek yogurt, eggs, chicken, fish, ground Turkey, beans (I love beans). And I usually do one protein shake per day as a snack. I used to have wine nightly but I’ve cut that back to only weekends and only one drink in a sitting. The rest of my diet I try to focus on fruits and veggies. A lot of my carbs come from beans added into my salads and soups and chilis. I try to only have one high carb meal per day and then do lower carb for the two others, but not super strict about it as long as I get my protein. While trying to lose fat I’m pretty careful with calorie dense foods like avocado, nuts/butters or cheese. I love them and know they are healthy but I could easily blow through lots of calories. So I’ll add like a teaspoon of nut butter to my smoothie instead of 1-2 tablespoons. And I’ll add reduced fat cheese to my salad instead of full, etc.
