A Day In The Life

Filed under: General Health, Nutrition

My Day In The Life posts are some of my most popular, and I get requested regularly to put up more of them.

I will again emphasize that I don’t count calories or grams of anything. My intake tends to follow the PN hand-size portion guidelines, as you will see below.

Wake @ 5:30 am

  • 12 oz black coffee

Breakfast @ 6:00 am

  • 5 whole eggs (salted)
  • at least 1/2 of a bell pepper (varied colors) and a bunch of scallions
  • 1 handful of roasted potato mixture from previous night’s dinner (see Dinner below)
  • 1 banana
  • ~1/2 tbsp Kerrygold butter for eggs
  • 1 glass water
  • 1 multivitamin, 1 gram curcumin, 1-2 probiotics

  • ~1 tbsp chia seeds
  • ~2 cups Stonyfield whole fat plain yogurt (1/2 container)

Dinner @ 6:00 pm

  • ~8-10 oz wild salmon
  • ~1/2 tbsp each honey, brown sugar, and dijon mustard (I use 1 tbsp of each to make the full mixture, and spread over 1 lb of salmon)
  • 1-2 fists of roasted butternut squash, with extra virgin olive oil and a little salt and pepper
  • 2 handfuls of roasted potato mixture: red potatoes, purple potatoes, sweet potatoes, mixed peppers, onions, with a little extra virgin olive oil and Montreal chicken seasoning
  • 1 glass red wine (yes, this time it is in a juice glass, as that can go in the dishwasher)
  • 2 glasses of water
  • 1 serving dried fruit and 3 squares of 88% cacao Endangered Species dark chocolate for dessert (which ConsumerLab just found to have the highest levels of flavanols of any dark chocolate tested)

I hope you get something out of seeing a snapshot of my intake. And as usual, would love to hear your thoughts, questions, and comments!
