… and what she eats in the run of a day
Food is fuel for me. I am pretty focused on a strict nutrition plan for proper energy, recovery and muscle growth. I LOVE to cook and bake. I am always trying new recipes that cater to a low sugar, gluten free eating plan. Sundays and Wednesdays are my days I do meal prep, as it makes it easier to always be prepared with healthy, nourishing food.
I start my day off with a higher protein breakfast as it prevents my adrenals from pumping out extra cortisol and helps to keep my blood sugar balanced throughout the day. I tend to eat my carbohydrates after my workouts or at night, as it helps restore my muscles from my workouts and gives my body the nutrients it needs for a restful sleep.
