Breakfast sandwich, omelette, extra protein snacks and rolled tacos I started my day with a quick @redsfoods breakfast sandwich. Lunch was a 4 egg omelette with a sliced chicken breast and @cabotcreamery cheddar cheese. Topped with a bit of sour cream and hot sauce. Afternoon snacks were @builtbar brownie batter puff and @questnutrition peanut butter cups. Dinner was 5 rolled tacos with guac from. @cotijastierrasanta which is their Thursday daily special for $6 and hard to beat! I walked to the gym well before sunrise in the pouring rain, so that was an adventure. The time change made the walk to dark for my comfort with a 7am start so let’s hope the sun starts to rise a bit earlier again soon. Till then 8am classes have long been my default and still preferred.

French toast, protein and poke bowls I had a few slices of @simplekneads_gf cinnamon raisin bread left and knew that I needed to test it out as French toast. I whisked together egg, half and half, @spiceology cinnamon and vanilla extract. Let the bread soak a bit and theNln cooked it on a griddle over medium heat. I had a bit of mix left so I spooned that over the top of each slice as they cooked for a little extra love. Afternoon snacks were @dukesmeats sausages and a @questnutrition bar. I totally failed with dinner and didn’t get a photo. I picked up a large poke bowl from poke 1 1/2 with half rice and half salad as the base, tuna, salmon and spicy tuna as the fish and ponzu as the sauce with most of the toppings. Workout and steps were a success and that sleep score will always be fun to achieve. If you read all this let me know! Do you like the daily update? Should I keep going or just go back to one meal and recipes for that one dish?

Ranch chicken soup, leftovers and a protein bar My wife made an amazing soup for dinner. The base was chicken bone broth, cream of chicken soup, sour cream and @spiceology really ranch seasoning. For the veggies it was onions, potatoes and carrots. With some chicken breast and a chipotle hot sauce drizzle. While the soup was cooking I did a little fridge clean out and finished off the leftover pancakes from the weekend as a snack Lunch was a half a burger and some tots leftover from my father in law when we went to the pub the other night. I added in two protein bars for good measure, a @builtbar and a @questnutrition bar.

Solid recovery in prep for the week I missed my Monday workout but have to tell myself that ok. I focused on a very protein heavy breakfast with 4 eggs, @amylufoods chicken meatballs and a slice of sourdough toast. Snack for the day was a serving of @crisp.power protein pretzels. Dinner was a taco salad with Chile verde from my local Mexican restaurant. Again the step count was lower but I did move lumber around and found that to be a good recovery day. Holding at ~170lbs and 20% body fat. While I would love to see more improvement but holding across a week where I was a bit off schedule feels good. #recovery #stayonplan #proteinfocused

Weekend breakfast for the win Started the day strong with some scrambled eggs, @amylufoods breakfast sausage and fries potatoes and onions. I seasoned the potatoes and eggs with a bit of @spiceology really ranch and salt. Lunch was a @questnutrition bar, some leftover meatballs and a few slices of cheese. Dinner was at @thepubatlakecuyamaca and I ordered the buffalo chicken fries. Again steps were a bit on the low end but a few hours taking apart a deck felt like exercise.

Indulgent day of eating Started the day with a stack of sourdough discard pancakes, I used @thepantrymama recipe and dropped in a few @guittardchocolate chocolate chips. Lunch was a burrito from @rubioscoastalgrill But I failed to grab a photo Dinner was some pasta, zucchini and @amylufoods meatballs. Dessert treat was this chocolate almond pastry and the snack for the day was some dukes sausage Not many steps but the steps I did take were mostly carrying pretty heavy loads, so I’ll call that the balance.

Pork Belly Burnt End tacos! Dinner included one of my favorite bites in BBQ, pork belly burnt ends! I smoked these low and slow at 175 for about 6 hours before bumping up the heat to crisp up and caramelize the outside. These were smoked with @bearmountainbbq hickory and marinated in @meatchurch honey bacon BBQ rub and peach & Clementine @sanpellegrino_us Served with a slaw, @cabotcreamery cheddar cheese, some salsa and fresh avocado Lunch was two red breakfast sandwiches that I added some Swiss cheese and buffalo chicken deli meat to. Snacks for the day were @legendaryfoods BBQ chips, a @questnutrition protein bar and a @nicks.us bar for dessert. #porkbelly #tacos #breakfastsandwich #bearmountainbbq #eatinggood #qualityfood

Ravioli, chicken and broccoli for dinner and cottage cheese for lunch Lunch was lazy, a big ole’ serving of cottage cheese with a @builtbar for an afternoon treat. Dinner was a bowl of cheese and onion ravioli from Costco, with @raoshomemade sauce. I topped it with roasted broccoli that was seasoned with @spiceology butter toss and some @realgoodfoods chicken tenders. Finally a bit of Parmesan and it was all set. Sleep and workouts were good and steps just below goal but above 10k.

Did someone say protein?!? Lunch is 4 eggs, runny/jammy yolks which are primed for using the @simplekneads_gf sourdough for dipping. Snacks for the day were @stryvebiltong biltong, 2 @thinkjerky jalapeno sticks and a @questnutrition bar. This is what happens when you are on a single 3.5 hour meeting and hungry… Dinner was birria nachos. I had some birria in the freezer and fresh chips from @carnivalsupermarket and a side of their spicy carrots and some salsa. Morning workout was solid, slightly lower steps than my recent average but still over 10k and sleep score in point. To those that say caffeine ruins sleep. I have evidence that proves otherwise.

Seeing some results and that keeps me focused Lunch is a protein stacked omelette with 4 eggs, spinach, cotija and @cabotcreamery cheddar cheese as well as buffalo chicken deli meat. Topped with a drizzle of @kindersflavors buttery buffalo and @litehousefoods ranch. I had a slice of sourdough as well. Afternoon snack is a @questnutrition bar. Dinner is a chicken breast seasoned with @spiceology black magic rub and topped with spinach parmesan dip, served with bacon and asparagus. Dessert is Quest peanut chocolate candies. You have seen what I eat in every post. Not daily steps hitting, and a near daily workout. I loved seeing my body fat hit a new 1 year low at 20%
