Meals I Made for Faster Way to Fat Loss

I completed my first round of Faster Way to Fat Loss this week (you can find that post here and also my FAQ post here) and I thought I would try to help some of you by going through my phone and sharing some of the meals that I snapped while I was on the program.

During the program, my coach shared a list of a lot of really simple and great meals to make. I used some of those and then I also purchased the Seersucker and Saddles, That Bowl Life, cookbook (PDF Printable) about half way through the program. Skinnytaste, is also a go-to for me when looking for great recipes especially for my low-carb days. I probably cook her recipes the most. I am by NO MEANS an expert at this, but I always love researching what others are eating and doing my best to replicate and try new things.

The beauty of this program is that you do NOT have to cut out any food groups (except if you choose to cut out gluten & dairy). It is best if you can plan ahead and don’t be afraid to keep your meals super simple! Sheetpan meals are great as well as trying to get creative with a dish that you serve all in one bowl.

A lot of people ask about what you can eat/drink during your fasting window. You can still have your coffee, friends!! I just had to adapt my coffee orders a little bit to stay under the 50 calories you can consume during fasting.

Here is my Coffee Order when I’m Fasting:

Starbucks Venti Pikes Place, Splash of Cream, Sugar Free Vanilla, Cinnamon and Nutmeg (learned this one from my coach Kristen and I just love it!)

At Home I have Starbucks Keurig Coffee with 15 calorie Califia Almond Milk Creamer (the salted caramel flavor is yummy)

During my Eating Window I will sometimes have a large Iced Vanilla Almondmilk Latte with Cinnamon. Its delicious from Bodacious Brew for anyone local!

Also, I mention a lot that I love breakfast. So I oftentimes still break my fast with something breakfasty….eggs, oatmeal, smoothie bowl, etc. Lots of people just go straight to lunch food and thats great too!

This list of food is in no particular order, but here you go:

Low Carb Chicken Enchilada Roll Ups

Sauteed Shrimp with Trader Joes Chili Lime seasoning

Sauteed Broccoli, Onion, and Red Pepper in Avocado Oil

Cauliflower Rice

Topped with a little Yum Yum sauce

Same as above but then I added regular rice on a “regular macro day” instead of Cauli Rice.

Sauteed Shrimp with Trader Joes Chili Lime seasoning

Sauteed Broccoli, Onion, and Red Pepper in Avocado Oil

Rice

Out to dinner at Santino’s Pizza

Turkey Wrap on Flat Out Bread

Giant Turkey Meatball Parmesan

A piece of the giant meatball from above served with steamed broccoli.

Scrambled Eggs, EBB seasoning and my kids leftover Chicken Nuggets with 1/2 avocado

Steel Cut Oats, Toasted Coconut, Strawberries, Pecans and Spoonful of White chocolate Peanut Butter

Acai Smoothie Bowl topped with Granola and Fruit

Dijon Maple Chicken Drumsticks and Thighs with Roasted Brussels and Cauliflower

Skinny White Bean Turkey Chili (recipe coming)

Ground Turkey mixed with Blue Cheese and Franks Hot Sauce served over Arugula topped with Siracha Ranch.

My Mom’s Maryland Jumbo Lumb Crabcake topped with Siracha Mayo served over butter lettuce and steamed broccoli.

Liz Adams’ Sausage, Spinach and White Bean Soup

Aidelles Chicken Sausage with Roasted Veggies and served it over Edamame

Aidelles Carmelized Onion Chicken Meatballs sautéed in a pan with olive oil and cauliflower rice. Roasted Broccoli and asparagus on sheet pan with oil and EBB Seasoning. Threw it all in a bowl with leftover grilled onions and peppers and topped it with a drizzle of this white balsamic reduction!

I took a quick photograph of some of my favorite snacks to have on hand especially for low carb days! I find these at Fresh Market, Target or Publix. Chicken Salad Snack Tray, Salami and Gouda, Prosciutto Mozzarella Fingers, Salami and cheddar on the go.

I also love just a big scoop of Crunchy Peanut Butter to hit my proteins on low carb days.

This is also a great snack or lunch on the go. I found these GG Crackers on Amazon and they are 2g of Net Carbs. So they are perfect on low carb days. I have it topped with Chicken Salad here but I also love it with Avocado, eggs, peanut butter, turkey and cheese! Anything you would like, but still have the taste of a a crisp cracker.

These last images are a few helpful screenshots I took at the beginning of my first round. I used these as reference when I was trying to hit all of my macros! I think you will find them helpful too!
