Microwave Egg Sandwich {+ WIAW}

It’s been quite a while since I joined in on What I Ate Wednesday. It’s not something I am always interested in reading myself, so I try to keep it for the times where there’s something different going on. It made sense to me when I was training for my first bikini competition, but until today it hasn’t felt right. Today I’m back with a recipe, a nutrition plan update, and a glimpse into my meals for a day!

Nutrition Plan Update

This weekend, I was talking with a new friend about what my nutrition plan looks like now. I’m still a good ways from my next competition, so I’m working with my trainer on losing body fat slowly. I’m currently on schedule with whereI want to be, losing about 1% to 1.5% per month. Slow and steady, with lots of cheats!

My body responds well to carb cycling, so I’m currently following a cycle of 2 low-carb days, 2 medium-carb days, and 1 high carb days. I get a little hungry on my low carb days, but not bad at all.

So what am I eating?

Now we get to the WIAW part of the post. Here’s a look at my food yesterday, a medium-carb day. Plus a recipe for my breakfast at the bottom of the post!

I have been really focusing on simplicity in my meals this year, so I can spend less time in the kitchen and more time living life (and studying for NASM, and training, and snowboarding, and the millions of other things I want to be doing!). I am repeating meals a lot more often, but only those I really like. Making small changes to mix up the flavors.
