A Full Day of Eating
I keep to simple, high-protein meals that keep me full, energized, and realistic for busy days.
A lot of people think eating healthy has to be complicated… but honestly, most days I keep things very simple. Prioritizing protein, balancing blood sugar, and building meals that actually taste good has been the biggest game changer for me!
Here’s a realistic look at a full day of eating for me while training for my 70.3 IRONMAN.

- Building balanced meals
- Keeping ingredients simple
- Finding meals I actually enjoy eating
Consistency will always beat perfection!
