Clean Eating Meal Ideas

The picture below is a quick snap-shot of my meals. This picture was taken a few months ago & my meals have changed a little bit but this gives you an idea of how much and what I eat. My meals also vary depending on my goals but I try to eat every 2-3 hours & always eat protein with each meal. (Not pictured are meals 6 & 7). This is what I have found works for me. I worked with a nutritionist to come up with my correct portions. I highly suggest that you consult a nutritionist because what works for me may not work for you. I also always try to eat whole foods when possible.
