What I Ate Thursday! | LoveFromDanica

Hi everyone, it's a bit late but I thought I would update what I ate today as I'm really happy with how well I stuck to day 2 of my Protein World food plan! Being a student I am fully aware that there is a common misconception that you are unable to eat a balanced, clean and healthy diet at Uni and I am here to PROVE YOU ALL WRONG! haha - With a little guidance of where to shop and what meals to cook I will teach you some delicious, cheap and clean meal ideas to keep you feeling and looking great throughout your time as a student! 

If any of you follow a YouTuber by the name of Gemma then you will know of her 'HappyHealthyLife' channel (one of my favs) showing you super clean and cheap recipes. I would highly recommend her channel as everything is very informative and helpful! https://www.youtube.com/user/healthyhappylife 

For breakfast today I started off with a Smoothie which included - 1 banana, small handful of frozen raspberries, small handful of ice, handful spinach, 4 scoops of vanilla protein powder, 1/2 cup of almond milk and a cup of water. The smoothie was super yummy and I can't get over how filling these things are! I didn't even think about getting anything to eat in Uni and I was in all day. As soon as I got home it was after 5pm so made myself another shake as I honestly didn't fancy making anything - I should mention that I am taking x 1 fat melter capsule and x 1 multi vitamin capsule after 2 of my 3 meals a day! 

At around 8.30pm I made my dinner - this lateness of eating is really not ideal for me, the closer you eat before going to bed the worse, your food is unable to digest properly because you are lying down, stores the food more and can often leave you with an upset stomach in the morning. 

I stuck to one of the 'Protein Based Meals' from Protein world as you can see below (Meal 4.) ..

I have been hit with bloody cold again so I wanted to make something that is going going to warm me up and give me all the vitamins my body is really needing at the mo! - I diced up 2 large tomatoes, chucked them into a non stick pan with no oil and put in 2 generously large handfuls of spinach and let that wilt on a low heat. To this, I added in 2 large cloves of minced garlic and a squeeze of tomato puree.

 I grilled a white fish steak in the over for 20 mins on 180 degrees (the fillet shrunk quite a bit in the oven, whereas the recipe says 'large fillet' so this is probably what I will do next time, although I am not left hungry with the one I had.

I had 1/2 an avocado along side this :) It was veryy yummy, and the garlic is really going to help clear my nose!
