My Latest Nutrition

by

I just wanted to make a quick post about my nutrition lately. I haven’t talked much in the past few months about my nutrition because honestly, I wasn’t allowed to. When you hire a coach you have a contract to where you can’t talk about your exact nutrition and workouts since it’s a paid program.

Well, I’m now doing a free workout program (Clutch Cut) so I can talk all I want about my food!

The Clutch Cut has a very detailed nutrition plan, but I have been modifying it quite a bit.  Here is what is suggested for nutrition:

MEAL 1:
CHEATER PROTEIN PANCAKES
 3 SCOOPS CLUTCH CHEATER GUILT-FREE BAKING MIX
2-3 SCOOPS QUICK-COOK OATS OR QUINOA FLAKES
3 STEVIA PACKETS OR SCOOPS (IF USING KAL BRAND)
6-8 OZ UNSWEETENED VANILLA ALMOND MILK
1 TBSP CHIA SEED OR GROUND FLAXSEED
1 EGG WHITE
MIX INGREDIENTS UNTIL BLENDED THOROUGHLY.
SEE PACKAGE FOR COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.
TOP PANCAKES WITH 1 TBSP VIRGIN COCONUT OIL.
MEAL 2, POST-WORKOUT:
 SCULPT PROTEIN SHAKE
3 SCOOPS SCULPT LEAN PHYSIQUE PROTEIN POWDER
1 TBSP NATURAL PEANUT OR ALMOND BUTTER
1/2 CUP FROZEN BERRIES OR 1/3 BANANA
6-8 OZ UNSWEETENED ALMOND MILK
1 CUP OF ICE
BLEND ALL INGREDIENTS AND ENJOY!
MEAL 3:

1/3 CUP CARBOHYDRATES (QUINOA)
2 TBSP HEALTHY FATS (AVOCADO)
MEAL 5:
½ ORGANIC APPLE
1 SMALL HANDFUL OF RAW ALMONDS
OR 1 TBSP OF NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER
MEAL 6:
CHOOSE FROM FOOD LIST
 2 CUPS VEGETABLES (KALE)
3.5 OZ LEAN PROTEIN (CHICKEN)
2 TBSP HEALTHY FATS (AVOCADO)
MEAL 7: (OPTIONAL)

DAILY TOTALS: CALORIES: 1,765 / FAT: 70 G / CARBS: 142 G / PROTEIN: 143 G

I think her plan is pretty dang awesome, and I’m sure it works great, but I’m not planning on buying her supplements at this time (maybe in the future!) and her workout is designed around a morning workout and that just doesn’t work in my schedule.  I always workout around 4:30 pm, after work. So,  I’m modifying her nutrition to have similar macros but my own twist on it.  So far it’s working great!!

MY CUSTOM CLUTCH CUT NUTRITION PLAN

Meal 1-
7:30am
Meal 2 –
10:00am
1 tbs natural peanut butter
Meal 3 –
1pm
3.5 oz lean protein
2 cup veggies
2 tbs healthy fat
1 serving carb
(I’ve been changing this meal up every day)
Meal 4 (snack) –
3pm
Small apple
1 tbs natural peanut butter
GYM TIME – 4:30 – 6:15
Meal 5 (post workout)
Whenever my workout ends.  I make sure to get my shake in within 30 minutes of my workout.
Meal 6 –
8pm
3.5 oz lean protein
2 cup veggies
2 tbs healthy fat

(I’ve been changing this meal up every day)

Meal 7 –
10pm
Casein Shake before bed OR frozen casein and egg whites (see below)

As for my plan, I’m taking in about 1600 calories and my macros look similar to this.  I know this is maintainable and enjoyable for me, so I’m sticking with it!  I also know that Isagenix supplements work best in my body and a lot of others cause me to bloat, so I’m sticking to what I know works!

The above graphic was my macros from yesterday.  Not perfect but not bad!

And these are the little frozen casein cups I’ve been making at night if I’m not feeling a shake.

Peanut Butter Casein Protein Cups Recipe 

  • 1 scoop Optimum Chocolate Peanut Butter Casein
  • 6 egg whites (I use liquid egg whites.  If you do this, make sure they are pasteurized so they don’t have to be cooked)
  • (Optional) 1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder

Mix all ingredients in a blender, pour into silicone muffin cups and freeze for about an hour.  Then enjoy!  ( To see my silicone muffin cups I use, see this recipe)

I’m on day 5 of my 21 day plan and so far it’s going great.  I feel great and the workouts are tough!
