I have been doing this meal plan since Sunday and I have already lost weight!

My current body goal (other than losing weight) is to lean out my legs. I have a lot of leg muscle but I need to lose some fat so I have definition and because I am very much pear shaped and carry most my weight on my bottom half. I decided to do a high protein, low carb diet and lots of HIIT to help me achieve this. This is what my diet looks like as well as some tips on food prep:

  • I eat every 3 hours and don't have carbs after 4pm.

    -Breakfast: 4oz chicken, 4 egg whites, 1/2 c oatmeal, 1/2 c fruit
    -Snack: protein smoothie (made with water, pineapple juice, vegan protein and 1/2 c fruit)
    -Lunch: 4 oz chicken, 1/2 c potatoes, 1/2 c veggies
    -Snack: 1/2 c veggies
    -Dinner: 4 oz of chicken or fish and 1/2 c veggies
    -Right before bed snack: I've been doing 110grams of Trader Joe's seafood blend ( which is amazing) or 2oz of smoked salmon

  • I also drink a gallon of water per day, take a multi-vitamin, calcium supplement (I am allergic to leafy greens and dairy), bone and jone support supplement and an antioxidant blend all made by Isotonix.
  • 4 oz of chicken might sound boring but here is how I make mine. I do all my meal prep for the week on Sunday (believe me it saves time throughout the week). I put a few pounds of chicken in my crockpot with some Frank's Red Hot and cook on high for 2-3 hours. I take it out and shred the meat and mix it with more Red Hot and seasonings, then portion it out in to my daily servings. It is delish! Plus, Frank's Red Hot is 0 calories and it keeps the chicken moist.
    It may sound weird to eat chicken for breakfast (I thought so at first too) but what I do is heat my chicken up and top it with 1-2 eggs over easy and some egg whites and it is yummy!
  • For potatoes I use red potatoes. I cube them and toss with a little extra virgin olive oil and homemade ranch seasoning and bake them at 400 for about 25 minutes.
  • Carrots are made similar to the potatoes but I toss them in olive oil and fresh dill.
  • For my afternoon veggie I did cauliflower mash this week and I absolutely love it!
