Good Eats - What I Ate Wednesday

I feel like it's been a while since I did a traditional #WIAW (what I ate Wednesday). Not too much has changed - I still like to eat a ton of food and am trying to figure out how to fit it all into my daily macros. If you are not sure what I am talking about, you can go back and read about my macros.

My macros have since slightly changed, as they should, to reach which ever goals you are trying to reach. Mine changed as a result of a weekend full of bad decisions. Apparently it is not advised to drink a case of beer by yourself in the course of two days if you are looking to achieve a 6-pack. Abs! I'm talking about abs, not another 6-pack of beer.

Here is what I ate yesterday and it kept me right on track with where I need to be.

For breakfast I made a Kodiak power cake waffle and topped it with a little smear of butter and 1.5 tablespoons maple syrup. I honestly cannot get enough waffles and pancakes - so good!

Not too long after breakfast I was ready for my first snack. I went out running for day 21 of my running streak in the morning and this usually results in hunger knocking in my belly all day long. I opted for a key lime crumble Chobani flip. The key lime crumble and haze craze are my two favorite flavors of theres. I also tried to chug a big glass of water - I am beyond terrible at drinking water.

On Sunday I made a big batch of Spanish 'rice' quinoa (there is no rice in it) and threw a couple pounds of chicken in the crock pot. The Spanish quinoa and rice will get A and I through a couple of lunches. It's beyond tasty and has so much flavor. I find that quinoa can be very bland if you don't add enough seasonings or depths of flavors.

I won a wonderful sample package of Steve's Paleogoods thanks to Brittany at Brittany Suell. I've never been one to like jerky, but Steve's does a pretty tasty version. I really needed something substantial to get me through an evening of house remodel / repairs and one last workout before dinner. I ate half the beef jerky pack and a handful of dried strawberries. 

2 F / 12 C / 14 P

We didn't eat dinner until almost 9pm, which is really late for us. I threw some chicken on the stove with milk and condensed cream of chicken soup and let that cook from about 6pm on. A and I were busy hanging a new (read spray painted) ceiling fan in the hallway, hung a new light fixture in the bathroom we are remodeling, and installed the new vanity top. All in an evenings work just to head to the basement for a HIIT workout. This simple dinner totally hit the spot and then I was ready for bed.

My macros yesterday totaled out to 28 grams Fat / 130.6 grams Carbs / 105 grams Protein.

My macro daily goals are 41 grams Fat / 170 grams Carbs / 110 grams Protein.

Overall, I'd say yesterday was a good day. What time do you usually eat dinner at?
