My Favorite Faster Way to Fat Loss Meal Ideas

April 10, 2019 Comments : 2

I just completed a round of the Faster Way to Fat Loss program and learned so much about counting macros and better understanding how to fuel my body properly. Doing this program while pregnant, though, I did modify certain aspects – I did not do the intermittent fasting or low macro days, and I bumped up my carb intake slightly on low carb day, per my coach’s recommendations. With that said, I felt like I really got the hang of counting macros and carb cycling and I can’t wait to fully implement the entire program after the baby is born!

Over 30 Faster Way to Fat Loss Meal Ideas - Breakfasts, Lunches, Dinners + Snacks!

I thought I’d share some of my go-to meal ideas that kept me on track for the entire 7 weeks of this round of the FWTFL program. As a note, my coach, Kristen, is okay with gluten and dairy in moderation, whereas some coaches say you should avoid it altogether during the program. I already avoid dairy all the time and gluten most of the time, so I just continued that and was able to essentially continue to eat a mostly Paleo and Whole30 diet. Once I started tracking macros, I found that I naturally eat lower carb because I don’t eat gluten and often replace grains with things like riced cauliflower and zoodles, so it did require a bit more planning on my end to ensure I ate enough carbs on regular macro days! To be honest, I’m a creature of habit with breakfast and lunches, so there’s not a ton of variety in those categories – I ate pretty much one of two things for breakfasts on weekdays and weekends, we’d cook pancakes or waffles with eggs and turkey sausage for a little more variety. As for lunch, I’m a huge fan of salads, so I just made them with whatever I had in the fridge at the time! If you read my blog, you know I do a weekly meal plan, so there was a little more variety and creativity there. 🙂

Faster Way to Fat Loss Snack Ideas

Faster Way to Fat Loss Meal Ideas

When it came to snacks, I would input my macros for breakfast, lunch and dinner first, then base my snacks on the macros I needed to round out my day. So, some days were heavy on carbs, some heavy on fats…but honestly, I got most of my protein from my three big meals of the day so I didn’t have to go too heavy on protein for snacking.

  • Apple with almond butter
  • Hard-boiled eggs
  • Scrambled eggs with Everything But the Bagel seasoning
  • Oatmeal with peanut butter
  • ThinkThin bar
  • Perfect bar
  • RxBar
  • Silk Almond Milk or Soy Yogurt + Fruit

      I️ tend to reach for lower sugar cereal like Puffins, Oat Squares, Life, and Cheerios. I️ also have found a few gluten/grain-free options at Whole Foods, including Seven Sundays cereal!

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
