Hey, hey, Wednesday!
It’s another edition of MY PLATE 🙂 .
This is where I share random iPhone pics of what’s literally on “my plate”.
Here’s what’s…
Um, so clearly this isn’t a recipe of any sorts, but after Monday’s blog post on INTERMITTENT FASTING PART 2, I thought it was a good time to share this snap. Whether you make this for breakfast or lunch, this is just one easy (and yummy!) way that I like to get a lot of protein into a meal. I’m not saying you should eat it (you eat what you want to eat), but I’m saying I like to eat this and love that it fills me up.
FIVE SCRAMBLED EGGS (with sriracha on top!) + 2 PIECES OF TURKEY BACON + 1/2 AN AVOCADO + ALMONDS= EASY & DELISH!
Just one quick and easy example of what’s on my plate 🙂 . xx

That looks so tasty! Do you still enjoy desserts or something sweet with your meals? http://www.elspethsdaybyday.com

Really, I don’t. Occasionally, if we make something seasonal and fun, I will, but I have become much more of a savory person the older I get.

Hi Shay! That looks amazing! I have been doing IF too for almost a year and that would be a delicious way to break the fast! I wanted to circle back to the workout conversation. I commented on a more recent workout post how much I have enjoyed the FitBod app for strength training since it plays so well with the Apple Watch. I still like it, but since you’re a fellow Peloton person, I wanted to
ask you if you’ve heard of Hardcore on the Floor. It’s a FB group and the admins put together a strength calendar each month with a daily stack of classes. It is AWESOMELY HARD and I love it. I know you said Andrew is an awesome strength coach but if he ever needs a break or if you want to try mixing it up, it’s great! I love not scrolling through and not having to make decisions. I get a lot of satisfaction off of crossing off each day on my printed calendar too. 😉 Just thought you might like to know too!
Mix and Match Mama says
I have never heard of that before! I am looking it up right now. Thank you, thank YOU!
Laura says
You’re welcome and I forgot to mention the best part- it’s FREE! 🙂

I love Hard Core on the Floor! Totally takes the guesswork out of what workout to do and is a great way to try out new instructors!
Thanks for sharing your journey to even greater wellness! I purchased Outlive and now need to find time to read and put it into practice! I turn 40 this year and know that I need to prioritize myself to be around for a long time for my family and friends!
Julie says
Me too! I’ve been following HOTF for almost two years!

I’m here to second HardCORE on the Floor! I found it during covid and I love it! I’m a yoga snoot, so on the pilates/yoga/stretching days I sub for my 45 min Kristin McGee classes, but it’s so nice to just have everything planned for you and all on your phone ready to go each morning!!! I’ve been reading your blog for a long time now, and shame on me for failing to mention this group to you who give us so many great recommendations!
WhittyWife (Lindsay) says
100% yes!! I love that group! 💪

Do you worry about cholesterol w all the eggs and meat you eat now?
Mix and Match Mama says
I was wondering how my labs would look with an uptake in eggs and red meat, but my lab work has truly never been better.

Elevated cholesterol is not caused by what we eat. That is an outdated concept based on data from the 1950s. We make our cholesterol. We NEED cholesterol. Bad cholesterol (LDL) is made in response to inflammation. So a diet rich in protein, vegetables etc .. (non inflammatory foods) is healing and is not the issue. It’s certainly true that foods like sugar, processed foods can cause inflammation etc .. and therefore elevated cholesterol, but definitely not eggs.The Obesity Code is a good one to reference on this topic 🙂

Hi Shay, thanks for the quick and easy protein meal idea. I struggle with trying to get enough protein and these meal tips really help when I am trying to come up with something. Have a great day!
Mix and Match Mama says
You too!!!

I am late to the party on your first IF post. But I downloaded the book, and while reading the first chapter, I swear she was talking about me. I am hoping this will give me the extra push needed to help me get the “extra pounds” off. I am loving the book!! I have also started writing down meal ideas with protein options. I do have one question, How much do you drink from the morning get up until the fast is over. I normally drink 2 cups of coffee, one LMNT (thanks for that tip😉 loving those raspberry ones) and at least 2 big cups of water. I didn’t want to mess up with that and then me taking my AG1 right before. (I’ve been doing AG1 for a year and swear by it)
Mix and Match Mama says
Yay! I’m so happy Cynthia’s book resonated with you too! I typically drink one cup of coffee and then I workout where I’ll drink maybe 12 to 18 oz of water during/after. After that, I drink one more cup of coffee as I sit down to work, and then, I sip water out of my Stanley until it’s time for lunch.
Elizabeth Whisler says
I’ve been working on similar meal plans and have started mixing cottage cheese into my scrambled eggs to boost the protein and it’s soooo good. I don’t think I’ll ever eat scrambled eggs without cottage cheese again. You don’t taste it at all, it just makes them creamier and delish! I usually do about half a cup to 3-4 eggs.
Lindi says
I thought I recalled you talking about eggs and cholesterol and that not being a great choice for you. Did that change? Enjoy seeing the plates!
Mix and Match Mama says
I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned my cholesterol? My triglycerides have always been super high until just recently.
