If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’ll know that one of my favorite evening treat is a big bowl of protein packed oatmeal. Yes, I eat my oatmeal for dessert. If I can swing it, I’ll have oatmeal as my preworkout and again in the evening. Even in the summer months. I’m going to go out on a limb here, but I think dessert oats are superior than the traditional morning oats. Easily. Agree or disagree? Having a higher carb meal before bed may sound scary if you’re new to tracking macros or calories. I know that I feared eating carbs after dark growing up and in my early 20s.…

Turkey Bacon & Egg Breakfast Flatbread
What’s better than pizza? Breakfast pizza. I’ve been making this turkey bacon & egg breakfast flatbread for a while, sharing it on my Instagram, and thought I’d finally share it here. So I have a really important question – are you #TeamBreakfast like me? I could eat breakfast for every meal, no question asked. That’s what makes this recipe so great – it’s not only for breakfast. I make this flatbread for dinner more often than I do for breakfast. Let’s talk about the ingredients. I like the Flatout Light wraps which are only 90 calories and moderate in carbs. I like keeping these on hand not only for flatbreads,…

Pumpkin Protein Pancakes
The best season of the year is upon us – autumn! Prepare yourself for all things pumpkin pie and spice, caramel, cinnamon, and sweet apple. I love fall and everything that comes with it (always have!) including all things pumpkin. One of my favorite things to do as the weather gets cooler is opening the windows to let in a cool breeze, light at Bath and Body Works fall scented candle and drink my pumpkin spice coffee. This year I’ll be adding these warm and tasty pumpkin protein pancakes into that weekend morning routines. I’ve been doing my best to contain myself as autumn approaches and to enjoy the last…

Protein Packed French Toast
Protein packed French toast – you need this meal in your life. I’ve always considered myself a pancake girl, but lately French toast has been my thing! Not only do I love this recipe, but my boyfriend is also a big fan of French toast – always has been so this is a win-win for our house. I’m finally getting back into my lifts at the gym and my weight is maintaining so that means I get more carbs. I’ve been loving this recipe as my pre- or post-workout meal and the macros are perfect for what your body needs during either of those times. Even though I’m eating more…

My IIFYM Grocery List
I visit the grocery store at least twice per week in order to have fresh food in the fridge and to keep on track with my nutrition. It’s something that I’ve come to accept and I don’t mind it too much because I live pretty close to the store. If you’re just getting started with flexible dieting and you’re not sure where to start with your grocery list, I’ve got you covered with my IIFYM grocery list! You can very easily make one grocery store trip for basics and have all your meals prep for the week. I’ve been following flexible dieting for about a year and a half and pretty…

Egg White Frittata Muffins
I recently subscribed to Simply Mander on YouTube and saw her prep these egg white frittatas for her breakfast, and I immediately went to my kitchen and made it for myself. Egg whites are my staple breakfast because they’re all protein and super versatile. Over the course of the week, however, I can grow pretty bored with just scrambled egg whites and this recipe adds a a fun flair! It’s also a great way to prep egg whites, which I really haven’t mastered quite yet. I made my version with beefless ground crumbles from Gardein, but ground chicken or lean breakfast sausage would be great with this recipe as well. Amanda used…
