What I eat every week to stay healthy.

Creating a consistent healthy eating habit can be a challenge. That's why I create structure by cycling through the same meals almost every day instead of Reinventing what I eat each day. I stick with the basics that I love. Don't worry though. It's not nearly as boring as it sounds. Okay, maybe it is. So I want to share with you a day in the life of what I eat. I'll be providing some different examples for Alternatives that I use to keep things interesting and to add variety, but this has been my primary diet for the

Couple of years and it's worked out really well for myself. Now one big caveat. This is what works for me. These are specific to my goals which are helping me to stay energized throughout the day giving my body what it needs for my workouts and also improving my longevity and hopefully in hopefully increasing my life span knock on wood. Now when it comes down to it your goal is your preferences might be completely different. So use this as inspiration see what works for you, but at the end of the day.

Day, you're gonna have to experiment for yourself to figure out what diet is best for you. Alright, let's get into it. This video is brought to you by Squarespace. You can sign up today for a free trial. I'll talk more about them later in the video. So my day always begins with you already know this part. So let's just get through this quickly..

So for much of the past year, I've been inadvertently practicing intermittent fasting. It wasn't something that I set out to do but it works really well for my schedule. I experimented with intermittent fasting for 30 days a little while back and I made a video all about it breaking down the benefits of intermittent fasting the gist of it though. Is this by fasting from 14 to 16 hours each day. We're giving our bodies a chance to rest this improves our metabolic Health it increases.

Our longevity and it can even improve our gut health as well. There's a lot of great science to back it out. Those health benefits are good and well, but that's not the real reason why I do it I do it because I found through trial and error that I just feel better not having a big breakfast in the morning some days though. I do snack on granola cereal and oatmeal. This is really only if I'm doing something physically demanding in the morning, but for the most part, I usually don't eat anything until 12 p.m. Coffee water..

That's primarily what I consume up until then if I stop eating around 9:00 p.m. That gives me about 15 hours of intermittent fasting at which point I'm ready for my first meal. Now. What do you do you making me for lunch? We are gonna do a avocado chicken salad inside of Peter. It's gonna be super healthy. Natalie usually makes this for me because she's amazing in the kitchen. And yes, I'm contractually obligated to say that we're actually gonna Park the chicken which I believe is the healthiest way to.

cook chicken zero oil involved. It's really just boiling the chicken..

We're going to add in some nonfat Greek yogurt. I'm just plain what that does is add some creaminess and bulks up the sauce a little bit. What is that tool? This is a citrus..

Done. Try it just to make sure you know, so Natalie's eating for two right now, but it's not because she's pregnant..

Thank you other days for lunch. I might have a tuna pita or sardines due to the high levels of mercury in tuna, especially albacore. I limit how much I eat that's usually about one or two cans per week my secret weapon for my diet or my green smoothies. I have these just about every day. They're great right in the middle of the day. They give me a lot of energy the vitamins and nutrients that I need to keep..

Me going to keep me focused on my work. So the recipe is really simple I start with one cup of water for the base. Then I add lots and lots of spinach by the way this Vitamix blender. It's absolutely a beast and one of the first purchases I made when I moved out of my parents house about eight years ago definitely worth the investment. Then I cut up to Apples and one orange making sure to keep as much of the white part of the peel as possible since it's packed with fiber and vitamin C. It actually has two to three times the vitamin..

In content as the inner fruit itself..

And then I'll top it off with two bananas. I always batch my smoothies by making three or four smoothies at a time and storing them in these green Shaker bottles. I drink one right after blending them up and then save the rest for the next two days. I always try to have them within two days of making them..

These days I work out around 2 p.m. Or so to break up my day and to get my body moving in the middle of the day because I spend so much time at home and during these workouts. I always drink a plant-based protein shake this vigas sport is my go-to, but I also change it up depending upon what's on sale at Whole Foods always chocolate-flavored though. I go with a plant-based protein shake because I have a bit of a dairy Sensitivity. I can have some Dairy like Greek yogurt, but.

I have tried many of the dairy options when it comes to protein shakes and it tends to upset my stomach. So I avoid it when I can. Okay. So let's talk about snacks. One of the biggest things I've done for my diet is to reduce the amount of snacks that I bring into the home our snack cabinet usually looks like this most of the time the cabinet is filled with nuts seaweed and popcorn we try to keep our snacks as Locale as possible every once in a while. We bring in the trail mix and.

other kinds of nice snacks, but we try to do it in moderation because some of these snacks I'll go through in a day. It's 1200 calories I end up feeling like shit and so it usually doesn't fulfill me in the same way that healthy snacks do now dinner is the ultimate variable and the one meal each day that changes on a daily basis oftentimes. Natalie will cook the both of us dinner. I'm not very picky at all. So whatever she wants to cook me works for me, but most of the time since we have very different diets and very different..

Spuds we prepare different meals for dinner when I'm making dinner by myself at home. I usually keep it very simple. I'll have my main source of protein. That's either chicken steak or fish. I'll have a side of quinoa or rice and I'll have another side of vegetables. That's pretty much it. I try to keep it as simple as possible. I can get creative with Natalie. We can have fun every once in a while with some wild recipes, but for the most part, this is what I stick with this is how I'm able to maintain.

Jane a healthy diet day after day now tonight. I'm going to be making a steak and be using Tim Ferriss has recipe from the 4-Hour Chef. It's one that I use pretty much every time I make steak and it's really tasty simply season the steak with salt and pepper. Throw it on a piping hot Skillet get a good sear going to caramelize and hold in all those flavors..

Then put the steak on a bed of Rosemary..

And throw it in the oven at 350 degrees after about 10 minutes or so flip the steak to make sure it Cooks evenly on both sides and add a little bit of butter on top. This will create an amazing Jew at the end Natalie taught me that word then I put a cooking thermometer in the steak and wait until it hits a hundred twenty-five degrees while the steak rest for 5 minutes. I prepare the rest of my sides. I typically try to get as much unprocessed food as possible. But this Frozen rice is just too easy to say no to grow in the microwave..

Three minutes and we're good to go and then I'll sauté up some kale..

Squeeze some lemon salt and pepper Bob's your uncle. And of course, don't forget to make use of that Jew. I'll cut up the steak plate half for today and save half for dinner tomorrow night medium rare, you know, its maximum rare beautifully designed websites.

site or domain and now that's pretty much everything that I eat in a given day. Like I said, there is a whole lot of variation we go out to eat quite a bit when I'm really busy with work. I will order in usually I'll get a burrito bowl or a burrito for lunch. But this is kind of the core of my daily diet now if there's one thing that I'm going to experiment with more in the future, it's going to be likely reducing the amount of meat in my diet now..

I know this is probably going to be one of the top few comments and there's a lot of really passionate vegan and vegetarians in the audience, which is amazing. I did do vegan for 30 days. This was before I even really started the YouTube channel. I might experiment with that again. I do an experiment with just kind of pulling back a little bit more maybe having neat free days or meat free nights, whatever it is trying to increase the amount of vegetables. I eat and cut down on me just because it's better for the planet and it may make me feel better. We'll say that.

That's what experimenting is all about. Anyway, thanks so much for watching. If you got anything from this video leave a comment. Let me know what you think.
