 Hey you all....

Hope everyone have been gooooood? I have been really good this week so far, its only Wednesday. lol.

Here's some of the things I have been eating...? What do you think?





If you get tired of steaming your asparagus, you can grill  them in the oven!
My chicken breast tasted really good with this spice. Also added some lime juice on this.

Pulling in the reins!

 This blog have been a bit overdue. I have been neglecting this a bit. Too many things keeping me occupied and did i mention SHOOOOW prep! yay! Feels like I come alive when I get a challenge!

Show prep means that diet gets a little more strict. I try to eat clean for the most part, so now I will just start to control portion sizes more and also count calories better to make sure I do not over, or under eat!

I have some meals here to explain what it kind of looks like now. And my yummy fishcakes recipe!

I have 6-7 small meals, spaced 2-3 hours apart. I manipulate carbs to my daily needs. If I have a more hectic training day, I will add more carbs, and on cardio days, sometimes take it away completely.


This meal is an example of something I would eat post training. More specific legs.
Lean beef meatballs, grilled veggies and yam.

I make the meatballs with:
Lean beef
Oat Flour
Egg whites
Grated carrots and onion
Soy sauce and spices
Mix well, and roll into balls.
Bake 20 mins at 200deg.


Straight forward steamed Tilapia and veggies.  Nothing special, but good proteins!
 The red stuff is paprika! I do love it alot!!!!
Preparation preparation preparation!!!!!
If you want to succeed in this bizzz, you need loads of bakkies! lol
You will really have to put the time in to prep your meals in advance! Make sure there is ALWAYS something cooked in the fridge! It help to not grab something baaaaad very baaaad! :-/












These look yummy right? Its super easy to prepare too!
Here we go!

Steam Tiliapia fillets in the oven. Flake them after cooling.
ADD:
3 eggwhites
2 spoons oat flour
grated veggies of choice
loads of spices of choice! i add paprika of course! lol
I like to add some sugarfree strong mustard. gives quite a  nice bite!

sooo just make into patties and panfry on non stick pan for about 8 minutes each side!







 BREAAAAkfAST! My favourite meal of the day.
Here we have a 4 egg white omelette, with low fat ham.  I have oats and coffee with this!

The oats are pretty boring right now... just 10 more weeks :)

Overdue... :)

Fish cakes with a twist... 

You will need-
I use the ingredients in the quantities that I am suppose to weigh my food. This was 150g fish and 80g brown rice.
Cooked and flaked Tilapia or white fish of choice.
2 eggwhites
Brown rice
chopped fresh herbs
Soy sauce and spice to taste. 
Mix all ingredients well. 

Scoop spoonfuls of  mixture on a very hot non-stick pan. I coated the pan with Macadamia oil. 
Fry each side about 5-8 minutes for a very crispy exterior. 



 Our basic grilled chicken and veggies. 
I marinated the chicken in lime and soy, salt and pepper for a while. Then slowly pan grilled it. 













The Asparagus! 
Gee I love these!!! 
Did you know this about my favourite green veggie??? 


1 - can detoxify our system
2 - has anti-aging functions
3 - is considered an aphrodisiac
4 - can protect against cancer
5 - reduces pain and inflammation
6 - can prevent osteoporosis and osteoarthritis
7 - reduces the risk of heart disease
8 - can help prevent birth defects



 The Dragon Fruit... 
I recently tried this for the first time. It was okay. The taste is not worth the price, in my humble opinion! ?

BUT i have to say, that looking further into these funny looking fruits, they do have numerous health benefits! 

They are rich in minerals, vitamins, fiber, antioxidants. Well, almost any of the good ones you can think of! 

Great low calorie snack!  Eat up! :)
