what I eat in a day while in a deficit 🍝🍓☕️
This is pretty much exactly what I eat most days at the moment.
I follow my meal plan like this probably 95% of the time because I actually really enjoy the meals, they keep me full and it means I don’t have to constantly think about what I’m going to eat.
I still have my almond latte, peanut butter in my oats, olive oil in my cooking, an energy drink before training and I absolutely cover my dinner in gravy 😂
Being in a deficit doesn’t mean every meal has to be as low calorie as humanly possible or that your food needs to be bland and depressing.
Most of my meals are high in protein, have a decent amount of fruit or veg and are built around foods I genuinely look forward to eating. My protein oats are quite literally still my death row meal.
Then once a week, or sometimes once a fortnight depending on what I have on, I’ll have a free meal with friends or family.
I don’t track it, try to perfectly calculate it or turn it into a full free-for-all day. I just go out, eat what I feel like and enjoy it, then go back to my normal meal plan afterwards.
This is just what works really well for me when I’m dieting: being very consistent most of the time, while still leaving room to actually have a life.
Also yes, that dinner was absolutely drowned in gravy after the photo was taken x
