Last Week’s Snackfest

I don’t know about you guys but I could not be happier it’s Friday!  Crazy week finally coming to an end.  Looking back at my eats from last week apparently it was a snackfest.  Which is funny because I just read this article about how American’s are snacking more….I definitely fell into that category last week!  It’s funny some weeks I eat three square meals and hardly snack AT ALL…. and some days/weeks are like last week….

Wednesday

This day was super weird because I was REALLY HUNGRY all morning… like ravenous hungry… like someone had flipped on a survival mode switch.  In the past this would have irritated the crap out of me, but instead I used it as an excuse to get Chipotle.  If there is one thing I know that will put a stop to insane hunger it’s Chipotle!

• Starbucks feta egg white wrap and skinny caramel macchiato w/ an extra shot
• random snacks at our meeting- cereal, trail mix, and fruit
• Chiptole (chicken, tomatoes, guac, brown rice, salsa)
• lefotver salmon and green beans
• popsicle

Thursday

• Starbucks americano and reduced fat turkey bacon egg white sandwich
• fruit and trail mix snack
• cereal snack
• banana
• subway chicken salad
• carrots
• quest banana muffin protein bar
• blueberries, honey, and cottage cheese
• strawberry shake (Vanilla 100% grassfed Formulx Recovery Protein Powder<–affiliate link, almond milk, frozen strawberries)

Friday

• half a banana with almond butter before workout
• quest bar in the car to work
• half a banana with almond butter at work
• cottage cheese + blueberries + almonds + honey
• lots of granola straight out of the jar… so addicting
• whole foods goodies- broccoli and sushi (note I was literally so hungry by the time I got this that I was eating the broccoli straight out of the box in the car on the way home.  You know how sometimes you see people taking a sip of something or snacking while driving? If you had looked over you would have seen me munching on cooked broccoli.  Yep.)
• peanut butter cookie and almond milk

Fitness

Luckily I was pretty active last week enough to cancel out some of the snacking… or maybe I was snacking because my activity level was increasing…. either way here is what I did….

Sunday- 4.5 mile run w/ Mr. Hungry

Monday- 45 minute Total Impact Nike Trainer Workout

Tuesday- Physical Therapy

Wednesday- 5 minute warm up, 15 minute upper body weights, 25 min HIIT Treadmill (covered 3 miles)

Thursday- Zumba

Friday- Orangetheory

Saturday- Rest

Your Turn!

What about you?  Do you ever have days or weeks you find yourself to be more in a small meals/snack mood or do you typically stick to the three meals a day schedule?
