Though some experiments have proved more sustainable than others, each has helped me find the eating style that works best for me.<\/p>\n<p>These days, my eating philosophy is to really listen to my body, eat whole foods in their whole forms (as little from packages as possible!), get enough satiating fat, and love what I eat. I keep a list of my five favorite healthy breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks, and a binder of all my favorite recipes\u2014like slow cooker chicken chili\u2014to make healthy eating easier when life gets busy. (And, trust me, it does when you have two kids, two dogs, a full-time job, and a hubby who works opposite hours than you do!)<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what a full day of healthy\u2014and delicious\u2014eating usually looks like for me.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18392\"

quiet with a cup of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/coffee-tea\/N-cp99ln\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coffee<\/a>\u2014usually a cappuccino made with lots of whole milk and cinnamon\u2014and my pup, Angus. I feel best following a modified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/02\/21\/intermittent-fasting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intermittent fasting<\/a> regimen and delaying my first full meal, so my frothy beverage usually counts as my breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>Then I usually meet with a client in my gym, get my kids ready for school, and do a workout (often kickboxing or a run) of my own. From there, I\u2019m off to work, running from private clients to speaking events to consulting meetings all over the place. I don\u2019t eat my first real meal until around noon, but when I finally stop long enough to sit down and eat, I usually go for breakfast food, my favorite of which is an omelet (or some sort of egg dish).<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18394\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/weight-loss-expert-food-diary\/img-2-header\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?fit=1484%2C614&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1484,614\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"img 2 header\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?fit=300%2C124&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?fit=740%2C306&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18394 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1\" alt width=\"740\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?w=1484&ssl=1 1484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=300%2C124&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=768%2C318&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=1024%2C424&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=272%2C113&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18394\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/weight-loss-expert-food-diary\/img-2-header\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?fit=1484%2C614&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1484,614\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"img 2 header\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?fit=300%2C124&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?fit=740%2C306&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18394 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201484%20614%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"1484\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201484%20614%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?w=1484&ssl=1 1484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=300%2C124&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=768%2C318&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=1024%2C424&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=272%2C113&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1 740w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-2-header.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>I stuff two full eggs (the yolks contain all those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/letter-vitamins\/N-cp99hy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vitamins<\/a>, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/supplements\/N-cp99ia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">choline<\/a>) with vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, and onions\u2014and, of course, cheese.

href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/superfoods-groceries\/N-cp99ks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dark chocolate<\/a>, but I do have a few other staples, like apple slices and raw mixed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/nuts-trail-mix\/N-cp99lk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nuts<\/a>, hummus and sugar snap peas, a clementine and a cheese stick, and apple slices and nut butter. My criteria for a great snack: It must contain a fruit or vegetable for vitamins and fiber, and it should also provide some fat and protein. To make travel and portion control easier, I buy pre-made serving-size packets for nuts, nut butters, and hummus whenever I can.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18408\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/weight-loss-expert-food-diary\/img-5-header\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?fit=1484%2C614&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1484,614\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"img 5 header\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?fit=300%2C124&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?fit=740%2C306&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18408 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1\" alt width=\"740\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?w=1484&ssl=1 1484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=300%2C124&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=768%2C318&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=1024%2C424&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=272%2C113&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18408\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/weight-loss-expert-food-diary\/img-5-header\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?fit=1484%2C614&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1484,614\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"img 5 header\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?fit=300%2C124&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?fit=740%2C306&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18408 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201484%20614%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"1484\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201484%20614%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?w=1484&ssl=1 1484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=300%2C124&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=768%2C318&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=1024%2C424&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=272%2C113&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1 740w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/img-5-header.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Once work and after-school activities finish up, my family sits down together for dinner. So much research shows how vital this time can be for families, so we fight for it! We keep the TV off and put our phones away so we can focus on each other and eating mindfully.<\/p>\n<p>Often, we all eat a slight variation of the same theme. My kids might have Italian-seasoned ground turkey over pasta with red sauce, while my husband and I might eat it over spaghetti squash, zucchini, salad, or steamed broccoli.<\/p>\n<p>My goal at dinner is to fill half my plate with produce. Then I add a solid four-ounce serving of a lean protein like chicken or shrimp and some healthy fat like avocado, a drizzle of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/oils-spices\/N-cp99km\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">olive oil<\/a>, or even a little melted butter. I always use a small plate to keep my portions in check.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18397\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/weight-loss-expert-food-diary\/tea-copy\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?fit=1484%2C614&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1484,614\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"tea copy\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?fit=300%2C124&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?fit=740%2C306&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18397 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1\" alt width=\"740\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?w=1484&ssl=1 1484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=300%2C124&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=768%2C318&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=1024%2C424&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=272%2C113&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18397\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/weight-loss-expert-food-diary\/tea-copy\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?fit=1484%2C614&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1484,614\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}\" data-image-title=\"tea copy\" data-image-description data-image-caption data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?fit=300%2C124&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?fit=740%2C306&ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18397 aligncenter lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201484%20614%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"1484\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%201484%20614%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 1484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?w=1484&ssl=1 1484w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=300%2C124&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=768%2C318&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=1024%2C424&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=272%2C113&ssl=1 272w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg?resize=740%2C306&ssl=1 740w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/tea-copy.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>During my own weight loss journey (I shed 65 pounds before starting my career in the industry), I realized that I snacked at nighttime just out of habit, and consumed hundreds of extra calories just to keep my hands busy while watching TV. These days, I don\u2019t usually eat after dinner, and make myself a mug of one of my favorite teas\u2014like decaf <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbal-teas\/N-cp99me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chai<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/herbal-teas\/N-cp99me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Earl Grey<\/a>, or Trader Joe\u2019s Candy Cane green tea\u2014instead.<\/p>\n<p>If I’m truly hungry, though, I’ll go for a snack made of whole, natural foods, which are hard to overeat! My favorites are a sliced apple with a tablespoon or two of almond butter and baby carrots with hummus.<\/p>\n<p>My personal eating style has evolved <em>so much <\/em>over the years, and right now this way of eating really works for my lifestyle, but I always keep my eyes open for areas where it might need to be tweaked. I truly believe that being willing to try new things and staying inspired are the keys to eating healthy long-term!<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"
