What I Eat In A Day To Lose Weight (Day 3)

WHAT I EAT IN A DAY TO LOSE WEIGHT

Here’s how I eat to lose weight – I’ve lost 40 Pounds

I often get asked what I eat in a day (and how I lost 40 Lbs). Here in this video, I’m showing you exactly what I ate in a day to lose weight – and what kinds of foods I eat when I’m trying to get into better shape. This is “What I eat in a day to lose weight – Day 3”.

I’ve also typed up the full recipes for you below – these recipes just serve me (they just serve 1), Rob always eats double or triple the amount of what I eat.

When I’m trying to lose weight, I’ll usually eat 3 meals per day – and sometimes I’ll have a snack (depending on how active I’ve been, how hungry I am that day and how I feel that day), but I will generally just have 3 meals.

CALORIES PER DAY

I usually eat 1100-1300 calories a day to lose weight, and sometimes I’ll eat up to 1400 calories – if I really need it or have been more active than usual. I have a petite frame, but women with a taller frame (or women who are very active every day) may need to eat more to lose weight in a healthy way. I talk more about how to work out your personal calorie needs in my book.

You can also download my 3 day eating plan for weight-loss, if you want another example of what to eat in a day to lose weight. I’m currently giving it away for Free, so you can download it and check it out if you want to.

And you can also check out “What I eat in a day to lose weight – Day 1” and “What I eat in a day to lose weight – Day 2” for more weight-loss meal inspiration.
