ASPIRING FITNESS INSTRUCTOR'S DIET

So today I had a rest day. Partly because my knees need a break after being pounded everyday running with dead sole shoes (need to take time out to get a new pair of running shoes! Nike Shox maybe??), but also because of Body Pump yesterday. It killed my legs. That's what "new" workout regime does to you. It feels great though and tomorrow I will be back in the game again. Have a busy weekend schedule coming up...

Have had some questions regarding my diet. Well, here's an example of what my diet looks like on rest days:

Morning Pre-Cardio Snack:
One Omega-3 Cod Liver Oil supplement. 2 almonds.

Breakfast after a 45-60 minute walk:
Smoothie made out of 100gr organic semi-skimmed milk,
100gr organic low-fat yoghurt, 20gr of fiber oatmeal,
12gr wheat bran (in swedish = kruskakli), 8gr flaxseeds,
75gr frozen strawberries, 32gr protein isolate.

Mid morning snack:
Organic coffee with 100gr organic semi-skimmed milk.
50gr boiled organic egg.

Lunch:
80gr mackerel in tomato sauce.
120gr whole wheat bulgur.

After a 30 minute walk...
Late afternoon snack:
50gr boiled organic egg.
100gr organic low-fat yoghurt with
psyllium seeds (pure fiber, no calories!).

Dinner:
Stir-fried vegetables fried in 10gr rapeseed oil,
some kind of meat such as fish, chicken or prawns.
100gr quinoa.

Dessert:
Cup of organic decaf tea with a splash
of organic semi-skimmed milk.

This is an ideal rest day with easy-going cardio and a meticulous diet. Gotta love being strict! A tip for feeling full quicker when eating: Drink a pint of water about 10 minutes before eating your meal + eat your food SLOWLY!
