Easy Meal Ideas

Think Eating Clean is too hard or time consuming?

Can't think of any great meal ideas?

Need something new to try?

What I am sharing with you today are two very quick, very easy, and very tasty meals that I enjoy!

For those who are counting calories or wanting to know the breakdown of their meals, I've included that as well.

First, a lunch idea:



Ingredients:

Egg
Green pepper
Baby spinach
Bean sprouts
Tomato
Avocado

Simply cut the green pepper into rings.
Heat a non-stick skillet, you may wipe it with olive oil or even coconut oil if needed.
Once the skillet is hot, place the green pepper down and then crack an egg into it.
Allow the egg to set for a moment.
Add your spinach leaves and bean sprouts around the outside.
Cover to allow the egg to poach.

A few minutes later your egg is poached and your veggies are tender!
Transfer to a plate, add a few slices of tomato and avocado and you're done!
A complete meal with protein, healthy fats and carbs and only one pan to wipe clean!

Here's the breakdown:
1 Egg ~ 74 cal
80gr Green Pepper ~ 22cal
50gr Baby Spinach ~ 11cal
80gr Bean Sprouts ~ 74cal
60gr Roma Tomato ~ 13cal
40gr Avocado ~ 64cal
Total Calories: 257 Carbs: 30gr Protein: 12gr Fat 12gr
If you require more protein you can always add an extra egg.


Here is a simple, fast, loaded with energy, sweet treat perfect for the hot summer months ahead!



Ingredients:

Cottage Cheese
Strawberries
Pineapple
Walnut Pieces

Wash and cut your fruit, I don't even use a cutting board I just cut my fruit right over my bowl!
Measure out your portion of cottage cheese.
Add your fruit and measure out and complete this dish with your walnut pieces.

The breakdown:
1/2 cup Cottage Cheese ~ 100cal
86gr Strawberries ~ 26cal
56gr Pineapple ~ 27cal
25gr Walnut Pieces ~ 175cal
Total Calories: 328 Carbs: 25gr Protein: 18gr Fat: 18gr


This is just a glimpse of how easy Clean Eating can be....and delicious at that!

Yes, I use a digital scale, on occasion, to accurately measure out my ingredients. This is not essential, however, to truly achieve a caloric deficit for fat loss you must be aware of what is going in.

Over flowing measuring cups and eye balling your amounts will only ADD to your calories!

Try to measure your meals for a few days to get a better idea of how much you REALLY are consuming, you'll be thankful you did!

Online menu planners are also a beneficial tool to guide you along as you track your daily calories.

FitDay, SparkPeople and Nutrition for Results are just a few examples.

There is much more where this came from, I look forward to sharing more of my meal ideas with you!

Fit Yummy Mummy Live Event

The Spring Fit Yummy Mummy Meet Up was held last weekend, April 25.09 in Louisville, Kentucky!

















What a successful Bootcamp and Shopping Trip it was!

We started off our day meeting at Holly's house and then heading out to meet up at the park.

Our Bootcamp started at 9:30am right on time and was lead by Holly of course!

Resistance training consisted of three super sets of two exercises each performed for one minute each three times through before switching to the next super set!!!

OUCH!!


Everyone was feeling it and hurting before we were even done! To finish off the Bootcamp we performed Tabatas. Completing four exercises two times each for 20sec on and 10 sec off for a total of eight rounds. INTENSE!!




The Bootcamp was invigorating and even though she put us through our paces AND it hurt....WE LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!






After Bootcamp we all headed back to Holly's to get ready for the rest of our fun filled day!



We had reservations for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory....how divine!

It was So good, not a complaint from the whole group...well how could you go wrong with cheesecake, especially White Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Nut Cheesecake...my recommendation!!!



















Then the shopping began!

As I soon found out, no Fit Yummy Mummy shopping trip is complete without a trip to Sephora! I had never been to a Sephora and was I ever in for a surprise! Cosmetic heaven Oh My!!
















After spending what felt like almost half of our afternoon in Sephora we did manage to venture out to the rest of the mall and snag up some more purchases. I think we were more interested in getting to know one another better than we were shopping!

























To complete our shopping trip we ended our day at BD's Mongolian Grill for dinner. A great stir fry dinner was enjoyed by all!


For those that were able to stay longer, karaoke was in order back at Holly's house! We ended one of the most amazing fun filled days ever by singing karaoke into the night!

















An unforgettable Fit Yummy Mummy weekend was had by all!! We cannot wait to hear what is in store for the next one!

However, before we can celebrate with another shopping trip we will be working hard at our Summer Slim Down Transformation Challenge for the next 12 weeks.

Join us on CLUB FYM today to see what you're missing out on!!
