A day of my meals [rest day edition] ☺️
Anddd why you shouldn’t copy them exactly…
This was what I ate one day last week
[it was a rest day - but that doesn’t mean zero movement for me]
I still hit 12-15k steps - moving my body daily is a non-negotiable for me, I just feel SO much better for it! 🤍
But I didn’t train in the gym (on training days, I increase my carbs & kcals slightly)
This day was a slight caloric deficit for me (as I’m in a fat loss phase)
But copying my exact meals & portions could lead to YOU being in a caloric surplus (and potentially fat gain)
Let me explain… 😁
Your daily calorie expenditure will be different to mine, or any other person
My calorie requirements are higher than average because:
✨ Metabolism - I have built quite a bit of muscle, which means my Basal Metabolic Rate is higher than an average woman (BMR = the calories you’d burn without doing any movement each day, and more muscle = higher BMR!)
✨ Movement - I move a lot, I make it an absolute priority in my life. I weight train 4-5 x per week, cardio 2-3 x per week, 12-5k steps a day [ofc sometimes I fall down & do less, such is life! 😋]
Anyway - my maintenance calories (my BMR + my movement) might be much higher than yours!
That’s why it’s important to know your own totals
And understand your OWN body’s needs 😊
So absolutely dooo use this post for inspo & ideas - but make sure you know YOUR body’s requirements in relation to your goals, whether that’s fat loss or muscle gain…
