Food Diary for Weight Loss

May 3, 2017

Meal Planning for Healthy Postpartum

Ok so there have been a lot of requests for two specific posts: a food diary and a Diastasis Recti post.  So today is the food diary and next Wednesday will be the Diastasis Recti segment.  A food diary is just what it sounds like- a journaling of what a person eats throughout the day.  When I was personal training I would have my clients do a three day food dairy so I could highlight the deficiencies in their diet.  I’m sharing mine with you to show how I stay healthy with my crazy lifestyle.

Food Diary for Weight Loss

Albion Fit Healthy Postpartum Body

Here is my three day food diary: 

Monday: 

  • Breakfast: 2 hardboiled egg whites, Ezekiel toast with peanut butter, and a green protein smoothie 
  • Snack: A Complete Cookie
  • Lunch:  3 turkey slices, a pickle, Suja Uber Greens, 2 slices of cheddar and 10 whole grain crackers
  • Snack: 1/4 cup almonds
  • Dinner: 1/2 Italian Meatloaf Patty, 3 red potatoes, and steamed veggies 

Tuesday 

  • Breakfast: Egg white omelette with goat cheese, spinach and turkey sausage
  • Snack: Sunflowers seeds
  • Lunch: Grilled nuggets meal from Chick-FIl-A with a water and 10 french fries
  • Snack: Green protein smoothie
  • Dinner: Grilled chicken, sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli

Wednesday

  • Breakfast: Oatmeal with chia seeds
  • Snack: 1/4 cup almonds
  • Lunch: Turkey sandwich with Ezekiel bread, spinach, light mayo and 1 slice cheddar cheese and cup of fruit
  • Snack: Complete Cookie
  • Dinner: Leftovers from Monday night

food diary to lose weight

A couple things to note: these are fast and easy snacks and meals that the whole family can partake in (minus the seeds and almonds for baby).  On the weekends, I pretty much eat whatever I want though I do try and keep my cheat meals to one a day.  And OF course I have days where I skip a snack or meal and end up eating the kids leftovers.  I’m just hoping this will help all of you with easier meal choices!

    I need to make myself a food diary. I hear writing down what you eat makes you less likely to indulge in unhealthy foods.

    I have never been one to watch my weight, but later on in life when I have too this will be the way I try to!

    Though I always try to stick to my food plan but somehow end up ruining it.. :p
    Might be I am making some plain choices (hard for pure veg) where I can really go with some good ones..
    Changed some meals from yours hope it works!!

    You look fantastic! I really love your sunglasses. I should probably do a food diary, but eh.

    Your plan is definitely helpful and awesome. I have been trying to lose some weight but not to lose my food. Love your glasses too

    Well you look simply amazing. You are stunning. And that’s so cool that you have found a diet that works for you. i know when i was doing well I could limit my fry intake. 10 does sound like a good number when it comes to that.

    I have heard that Ezekiel bread is meant to be great. I need to try that. I also have been trying to eat healthier, in the run up to summer!

    It’s a great idea, to have a log of all of the food that you consumed for the day. It’s definitely going to help you keep track of your progress.

    I always find it so interesting to read food diaries and yours is proof that my diet is terrible. As someone who is a vegetarian what what types of food would you say is good if you want to put on weight? x

    This is pretty cool for people that want to try dieting for weight loss. I’m interested to know if it has the same results on a different body type.

    You look awesome! This is so inspiring, I need to lose some weight and this food diary sounds like something I can do.

    I used to do this online. It does take commitment though.

I travel with her now so she’s not impressed by I travel with her now so she’s not impressed by someone’s crusty son trying to take her to Myrtle Beach. 😂

Kidding! I do believe travel is so important for kids though: not only will we cherish these memories forever, but I want to introduce them to as many people, cultures, and beautiful features of the world as possible.
