I have a love-hate relationship with food. In fact, I was on the edge of binge eating, but I realized it soon enough to help myself before it was too late. I found this video very helpful with figuring out how to balance my meals.
I eat 5 meals a day (breakfast, 2 snacks, lunch and dinner) For me, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I DO NOT leave the house without a proper breakfast and when I start my day with a good, healthy breakfast, it's easier to eat healthy for the rest of the day. For breakfast, I usually make myself an omelet or an oatmeal because it keeps me full for a long time and gives me a lot of energy.
To make the omelet I use one egg and then I usually add bell peppers, parsley leaves, salt, pepper and chili powder. I serve it with a whole grain roll or bread with tomatoes and lettuce.
To make the oatmeal I use 4-5 spoons of oats, I add hot water and wait 1-2 minutes for it to be more tender and then I add different types of fruits, dried fruits and nuts.
I get really creative when it comes to snacks. I have so many options, from a simple banana or an apple through dark chocolate to a fancy smoothie. It changes during different seasons, but it's always something quick to make and something that helps me survive the time before lunch and dinner.
For lunch I eat whatever my mom or dad makes (yes, I still live with my parents even though I'm 21). Luckily my family likes to eat healthy too, so I can eat my lunch without worrying about the ingredients that my parents put in the food.
Dinner is my last meal of the day and I usually have a whole grain bread roll or some type of sandwich or if I'm feeling fancy I'll make myself a salad. My dinners are always light and easy to digest because I don't like going to bed with a full stomach.
There's actually one more thing that I haven't mentioned... sweets.
I'm not gonna lie and say that I don't eat them. I do. I allow myself one "yolo meal" a week and I eat whatever I want to, no matter how many calories it has or how unhealthy it is.
Last but not least: drinks. I drink a lot of water (obviously), I also love different types of tea. My top five are:
-Cinnamon apple
-Citrus mix with cloves
-Pineaple and pear
-Ginger and lemon
-Mango and peach
And finally, the love of my life... coffee. I could drink coffee all the time. Not only because it gives me energy. I love the taste of coffee, I love the whole ritual of making a coffee. When I can just sit and think, plan and relax.
That's everything I want to share.
