So I bought this food scale for a fitness challenge I’m doing (ok more like drinking wine every night and failing lol) and haven’t really used it because I’m lazy and it kind of seems obsessive. But it is good for tracking in My Fitness Pal because guessing you only ate 60 calories of avocado when indeed you ate 160 calories of avocado is no bueno. So this breakfast was measured! Anyway, I’ll put more thought on my fitness challenge at the bottom because I know you’re here for the food!
Eggs, Avocado Toast and Stawbs
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 avocado (mine was 66 grams)
Slice of bread (I used the 45 calorie bread from Pepperidge Farm)
Strawberries (mine were 120 grams)
Chopped green onion
Everything But The Bagel Seasoning
How to Make:
Ok so this isn’t rocket science but here it is:
1. Fry eggs (or scramble them…whatever!) Use non stick spray/ pan!
2. Cut the avocado (save the other half!) mash it up and chop some green onion into it. Stick toast in the toaster.
3. Make sure your eggs aren’t burning. It’s probably a good time to flip them if you’re just frying them like me!
4. Scoop the avocado onto the toast and sprinkle with EBTB seasoning. Cut the tops off the strawberries and add them to the plate.
5. Eggs are done! Add them to the plate!
6. Have some coffee in a sarcastic mug (I loveeeeee Hocus Pocus…doesn’t matter that it’s summer!)
7. Enjoy!
And the awesome mug!
The Fitness Challenge! (And what I change in it because I’m a rebel!)
Ok so I signed up for this fun Get Fit in 6 challenge with one of my favorite fitness gals Nicole Ferrier! It’s been super fun but I’ve gone off track a LOT with eating and tracking macros. I haven’t missed a workout though and definitely see muscle changes but the scale hasn’t really moved (I’m looking at you wine….) The main reason I wanted to do this is because she calculates macros, cardio and calories for you based on your goals, and I’ve always wanted to have my macros done. Even though I will soon be qualified to do this on my own (yay nutrition and CPT classes!) I’ve literally just had 1400 calories plugged into MFP for years with high protein low fat guesstimates. Well rude awakening to me…I wasn’t coming CLOSE to what I need for protein (it’s super hard to hit) most days and eating way to many carbs. Carbs are GOOD and essential…just don’t eat 200g of them and like 60g of protein! Oops. Ok I’m learning I never said I was a pro (yet). Anyway, I will do another post and probably a video of some of my workouts because besides the fact that my cardio was pretty much eliminated (she wanted me to walk 4x a week for 20 min) when I Peloton for 30-45 min a day, walk 5 miles with my bestie daily, and am a “runner” I have to say I disregarded the cardio recommendation (I know, I’m awful, I just shouldn’t do challenges because I clearly can’t follow directions!) and kept doing my cardio how I wanted. As much as I hate running, I always feel good after doing it. This morning I woke up having major anxiety over my failing job search since all of my industries have been eliminated because of the thing going on, and I have to find a way to make an actual living (not minimum wage, I can’t survive on that)! I’m hoping I can get through my CPT class and exam in good time because there are a lot of training jobs in my area. Anyway, I don’t want to get all Emo on you guys! I will have some workout and stretching posts coming soon so be on the lookout for those! I’m also going to be doing more on my You Tube channel (it’s so lame right now, I promise it’s going to get better) so check that out too:
