I am addicted to a day in the life videos on YouTube. A couple of my favorites are Heidi Somers and Amanda Bucci. For some reason it is weirdly entertaining to watch someone else, perhaps because we can forget about our own day to day life for a bit. However, I decided that it was time for me to share a snippet from a day in the life of me! A lot of people wonder what fitness coaches and fitness influencers eat on a day to day basis. Here is a typical full day of eating for me!
The picture above shows a 2 week progression on my reverse diet!
Current Stats
Height: 5’1
Weight: 121
Age: 22
Current Nutrition Plan
Reverse diet with goals to hit 2045 cals, 145g protein, 220g carbs, and 65g fat on training days.
Current Goals
Increase lean muscle mass while doing a mini body fat cut. This is due to a bulk that I did post bikini show this summer. I am about 3-4lbs heavier than my “happy” weight where I feel strong, lean, and athletic!

Notice that I did not hit my macros perfectly. You will have days where you hit the nail right on the head. However, as long as you get close to the numbers you will see results!! No one is perfect, life happens, and we have to roll with it. In a perfect world, I would eat only “clean”, whole, natural foods. However, with my crazy class schedule and on the go lifestyle means I eat a lot of protein bars and shakes. THAT IS OK. I eat whole natural foods when I can and don’t sweat it when I can’t. Don’t change your lifestyle to fit your diet. Find a way of eating that fits your lifestyle.
