I’m so loving these posts from our Fit Mom segment! Today we have our second one and we’ve teamed up with Chobani to chat all about healthy eating, plus with details for breastfeeding and a chart for non-breastfeeding Mamas.
First a secret about me, I’ve never been a ‘healthy’ eater, until I had Blake. Before that I ate junk food all the time and just worked out at night. Well since I’ve had Blake I’ve learned the importance of eating healthy one and two, it makes me feel better! Don’t get me wrong it was definitely an adjustment going from fries, Dr. Peppers and chocolate all day to Greek yogurt, veggies and meat. In fact it took me several tries and fails before I got the hang of it. It’s all about portions though. I still have my Dr. Pepper every once in awhile and a treat here or there, but I try to stick to the 80/20 rule. That’s 80% healthy 20% not.
Here’s an example of what I might eat in a day, but keep in mind I’m breastfeeding which means I have to eat more calories. (Really though, who’s complaining about that? 😉 )
Breakfast: Chobani Greek Yogurt + oatmeal
Snack: Apples with cinnamon + pretzels
Lunch: Salad or a turkey sandwich
Snack: Granola Bar + Cashews
Dinner: Chicken, Rice + green beans
Snack: Popsicle (this is where I’ll usually treat myself!)
My favorite chicken recipes are:
My favorite Chobani Yogurts:

Here’s what I’ve learned and I’m no fitness expert, but find what works for you, what makes you feel better and do that!
