As a trainer and healthy eating advocate, I am constantly faced with the question, “How do you fuel your body to look and feel your best”?

Well, here you go! A look into Rosie’s day!

7 A.M.

I wake up and immediately squeeze ½ a lemon into a warm glass of water with Himalayan pink salt and if I’m feeling frisky, a tbsp. of Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. Following my water, I drink a cup of coffee. Ive been following this routine for quite some time now and if I skip it, I feel deprived for whatever reason! I like to start my day with the lemon/salt water because my body needs the hydration first thing in the morning. Coffee is my jam, so I always have at least two cups – BLACK! Then, I curl up on the couch next to my two fur babies drinking my coffee as I check emails and respond to clients.

9 A.M

Im such a creature of habit! After my morning ritual, I make an egg white omelet stuffed with tons of healthy fibrous veggies, avocados, and hot salsa. Those veggies are a definite must as the fiber helps keep me full longer.

12 P.M.

This is my pre-workout “snack” or meal, however you wish to look at it! For my mid=day snack, I have Cinnamon Roll Better Oats topped with bananas and blueberries and flax. Flax is packed with omega-3 (great for beautiful skin) and prebiotic fiber for a healthy gut. I have a serious sweet tooth and the natural sugars from the fruit does just the trick!

3 P.M.

While you work out, your muscles use up their glycogen storage for fuel. After the gym, I am ravenous! A huge salad topped with chopped veggies like beets, broccoli, and peppers as well as a decent portion of lean protein such as chicken or fish, always does the trick! It’s extremely important to consume carbs and protein after your workout. Doing this helps your body with recovery and aids in protein synthesis (muscle growth).

7 P.M.

Depending on how large I decide to make my salad determines this meal! It almost always includes a lean protein and vegetable followed by my evening “dessert” and calming tea. I find that in the evening while I’m winding down after a long day, Ryan and I tend to crave sweets! For me, whipping out a box of cookies or ice cream isn’t ideal as I’m not the greatest when it comes to self-control! Ryan however, can eat a gallon of ice cream and 15 cookies and not gain an ounce! Men, I tell ya!!! So Instead, I mix up some Oikos Triple Zero Greek yogurt with pecans, macadamia nuts, sunflower seed butter, and sometimes a piece of dark chocolate. Nuts, seeds, and even dark chocolate are great options to consume before bed because of their fat content. Fat digests slowly which is great for preserving muscle mass while you sleep! While fat is a definite necessity, just be sure that they are making up only 25-35 percent of your total caloric intake.
