Whew, I can’t believe it is already Wednesday! How’s everyone doing? I am just a tad stressed out… and it’s only the third day of school. Awesome.
However, I’m not here to talk about that today since it’s what I ate Wednesday! I didn’t get a picture of all my eats yesterday, but that rarely ever happens.
I started round two of James Wilson’s body earned program yesterday, and it felt SO good to get back into the swing of things. Although I have gained a good base of muscle, I have decided I want to build some more.
Pre-Workout
My usually protein, pb2, rice cake combo with coffee.
Post-Workout
Not a flattering picture, but my usual PWO shake.
Meal 2
Oatmeal, egg whites, and pecan/cashew butter.
Meal 3
Protein bars eaten at school. Forgot to snap a pic!
Meal 4
I was rushing so a crappy phone picture will have to suffice. Two slices of
Ezekiel bread, eggs, spinach, nutritional yeast, and ketchup.
Meal 5
Grilled chicken and green beans/spinach sautéed in this stuff:
The best.
Meal 6
My usual egg whites and peanut butter. Doesn’t get old.
Have you ever tried to gain more muscle?

Artisana brand! It is awesome
This semester is sounding like it’s going to be rough for everyone, myself included! Just have to get through it, right?
I’m currently trying to gain muscle, and I’ve actually increased my uptake of fats this week. I’ve been enjoying it! Favourite sources would be peanut butter, avocado or coconut oil. I hadn’t used coconut oil in a while and I forgot how much I love it. Good stuff!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles recently posted..WIAW: Messy Bowls and Cooking With Booze.
We can do it!! Lets motivate each other to study and gain muscle since we are basically in the same boat
Currently trying to gain more muscle over here!
Proud of you for doing so too! So much fun 
LOL!
I love your WIAW’s, girl! xoxoxoxo
Love you, too, of course xo

I know you are and you are awesome!! Love you<3
Working on my first round of the JW program, except with the same goals as you! What’s the timing of your meals like? I hae the hardest time with getting enough food in
Yay, good for you!!! I usually eat every three hours. Sometimes if I wake up a little later, I’ll eat every 2 & 1/2 hours. It all really depends on when I have class, when I wake up, and when I go to the gym! lol I usually get in 5 meals and then pre and post workout. So I guess a total of 7 instead of the 6 meals with the additional pre and post!
Thanks! Yea it’s definitely hard to find what works with school
and its kid of mentally stimulating to absorb the frequency and amount of eating at first. Thanks again!
sounds good! I am glad this routine is working for you
Alex @ therunwithin recently posted..Trade-em Up: Midweek Slump
Good food always helps me when I am stressed haha. I hope things get more routine soon!! My fav fats are avocados, PB, and the infamous coconut oil!
Oh me too
Those are my favorites, too!
Obsessed with coconut oil. I don’t know if it can take the place of almond butter as my favorite healthy fat, but it’s definitely up there. Have you ever tried it on toast sprinkled with cinnamon? So, SO crazy good.
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted... WIAW … ridiculously ravenous .
YES, I have. It is SO amazing on toast with cinnamon! I agree though. Nut butters are still my favorite
Coconut oil is the ultimate meal transformer. That sounds super lame, but it’s amazing. I love roasting brussels sprouts in it. So wonderful. I also love almond butter. Yum! I sometimes combine the two and add some pumpkin for a little pudding and it’s amazing. I’m excited to see more of your progress this round!

Oh, I totally agree!! We love the same things. Ha ha.
mmm i love anything cooked in coconut oil
chelcie @ chelcie’s food files recently posted..WIAW- Aussie Eats
favorite healthy fats… coconut, avocado, and sunflower butter! How do you do your egg whites and pb?? I’m trying to gain muscle!
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables recently posted..WIAW #32 Changing the Rules
Those are my favorites, too! I have it every night before bed because you want fats + protein. I just take the liquid egg whites, vanilla liquid stevia, and a bunch of cinnamon, whisk it together and cook it like an omelet. Then I spread the peanut butter on top and it gets all melty
PB will always be my fat of choice
Matt @ The Athlete’s Plate recently posted..P&G eStore
Heck yes!
Egg whites and peanut butter? I’m trying to find new ways to like egg whites…so this sounds awesome haha

Yes!! I have it every night before bed. I just take the liquid egg whites, vanilla liquid stevia, and a bunch of cinnamon, whisk it together and cook it like an omelet. Then I spread the peanut butter on top and it gets all melty
Favorite healthy fat? Nut(ty) butter of course!
Everything looks DELICIOUS…but for some reason, I am especially drawn to the ketchup. Go figure.
Ooo I love nutty butter, too! ;D
I’m on a bulking diet right now, too! Am I ever hungry? NOPE!! I eat 6-7 meals/day, which means I’m sitting down to a plate of food every 2-3 hours. It feels like a lot, but I know it’s what I need to do to see the gains I’m after.
Everything looks delicious – especially that egg scramble! Favorite healthy fat: peanut butter! Followed very closely by avocado.

I haven’t tried coconut oil yet. My fav source of healthy fat = peanut butter or ground flax seeds.
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers recently posted..WIAW for Wellness
The egg-spinach-yeast-ketchup combo sounds so so good!!
Caitlin recently posted..WIAW: Florida Vaca Eats!
My favourite healthy fat is soy nut butter! Avocado is a close second though.
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin recently posted..WIAW #66: Back in the kitchen
My favorite healthy fat has to be in the form of nut butter…chocolate nut butter is the best!
What are ur cals and macronutrient percentages?
Why don’t u do the yolks? Lots of healthy b vit in there
As a nurse and nutritionist, I need to caution u about he coconut oil fad…… Its not the miracle elixir it is touted to be. Keep ur fats from whole sources and not from oils. Ublosr every vit and min when the oil is extracted from the whole nut/seed. Also, plant based products powders are more effective and healthier and they put less stress on the kidneys. Whey pro has been shown to be highly contaminated with heavy metals and other toxins. Let me know if I can be of more help. I work with athletes all the time and try to debunk all the commonly held fitness and health fads that don’t produce longterm results
Thank you for your comment. I actually do eat the yolk, I just mix it with a few more egg whites. I don’t give out my calories because everyone is different. Coconut oil is not really a “fad” to me. I like the taste of it, and it is a good healthy fat. I don’t use it all the time, but once in a while I like it to sautee veggies. I don’t really fall victim to fads, either. I simply eat clean and eat real food.
I’d like to chime in here. I don’t think anyone uses coconut oil in excess, since a little goes a long way. And I also don’t think there is any false “health halo” around coconut oil. It is a healthy fat, that remains stable at higher temperatures and makes it an optimal cooking oil.
Also – and I truly mean this as respectfully as it is possible to convey over the internet – it is difficult to take professional advice from someone who is not taking the time to spell and write out words correctly.
That is disrespectful but I won’t let it get to me. My Computer broke so I have to rely on my lame cellphone to type…. Its not an easy thing to do sans typos
There is a lot of controversy over Co oil. And yes, some people do use a ton of it, like 1-2 tbs per meal, thinking it will rev their metabolism or the like of it
Chck out Dr Furman and McDougal, and other plant based researchers for their take on it
