What I Eat in a Day in a Calorie Deficit

Today I’ll be discussing What I Eat in a Day in a Calorie Deficit. I’m currently cutting and eating 1,900 calories a day.

Crazy right? That’s seriously so much food still! It’s crazy to think I would eat sometimes 1,200 calories in a cut and be starving still. Yet, somehow convincing myself I was full. If you didn’t know, I wrote a blog post opening up about my struggles and growing up in diet culture. That’s the exact reason why I became a Macro Coach.

I like to fill up on veggies, protein and carbs throughout the day to keep me satisfied and full. Growing up in diet culture, I was convinced I had to eat boring chicken and veggies but came to the realization that it’s not true. I am a big sauce person, GHughes being my favorite, and they have zero sugar and little to no calories.

I do enjoy repeating meals because I get obsessed with it because they’re so good! Then, I’ll switch it up and do something different. But I usually like to rotate the same 5-10 meals. I of course love other meals but these are just my favorites. I understand that most people aren’t like me so there are easy ways to have the same proteins and switch up the actual meals.

Balance

As you can see below, I’m eating my typical breakfast and the same meal for lunch and dinner. You can easily make one of the ground turkey meals a taco bowl or turkey burger if you like to mix it up. The most important thing for my days is my sweets! I have a huge sweet tooth so I incorporated my yogurt, rice cakes and chocolate. Other days I am feeling a little more salty so I’ll incorporate chips. It’s all about balance.
