How I eat 11 times a day for 1700 calories. Details in comments.

I work from home and love to snack, so I build my day around small plates that help me hit my calorie target and macros. Thought I’d share. Always looking for new ideas.

Not pictured:

45cal – 1/4 cup of skim milk (2x) for coffee

70cal – 18g of Honey Nut Cheerios. This is my first evening snack. No picture because, I mean it’s just cheerios.

100cal – small 100cal popcorn bag. Another evening snack and another boring picture so I spared you.

45cal – 2 Hershey kisses. Have to allow yourself sweets. One after my workout and one after dinner.

 

150cal – Egg white bake

160g egg whites

40g diced potatoes

40g diced spinach

Salt/pepper

Bake at 400 for 30mins

I usually put green cholula on top

 

230cal – Overnight yogurt bowl

112g non fat greek yogurt

20g rice cereal

15g oat fiber

15g Walden farms syrup

8g protein powder

8g powdered nut butter

1/4 skim milk

10g stevia or swerve brown sugar

Mix and leave overnight. I make this in 4 different flavor combos.

 

85cal – egg white scramble – option 1

120g egg whites

40g diced bell pepper

Cumin, garlic powder, chili powder, salt/pepper, scoop salsa over the top.
Ok I know this one is ugly but they’re just microwaved eggs, and my photography is not professional.

 

85cal – deli meat snack plate – option 2

56g chicken deli meat

40g carrots

40g cherry tomatoes

2 mini pickles

Simple, effective, and takes more than 2 mins to eat.

 

60cal – tortilla “chips”

3 La Banderita carb counter street tacos

Salt/chili limon popcorn seasoning

Couple sprays of 0cal spray to help the seasoning stick and into the toaster oven for about 5 mins

 

150cal – strawberry smoothie

100g frozen strawberries

200g ice

100g fat free greek yogurt

15g vanilla protein powder

15g oat fiber

1/4 cup stevia

15g Walden farms syrup

30g water

I make this a little lower calorie with less strawberries and less yogurt of chicken days. A squeeze of 5cal chocolate syrup helps.

 

165cal – pumpkin bowl

25g Kodiak pancake mix

15g vanilla protein powder

15g oat fiber

1/4 cup stevia

10g swerve brown sugar

40g pumpkin

15g Walden farms syrup

15g water

Mix all this up and microwave for 2 mins.

 

350cal – stir fry bowl (dinner)

6oz (raw) chicken or shrimp

85g broccoli

85g carrot chips

200g zucchini/squash

50g onion

120g cauliflower rice

I make this in about 5 different flavor combos, depending on the protein, but all additional flavors are “zero calories”.

Sriracha/Walden farms syrup

Sriracha/Walden farms syrup/lime juice

Sambal/Walden farms syrup

Sambal/Walden farms Asian dressing

Sriracha/Walden farms Asian dressing/stevia

 

85cal – veggie bowl

85g cauliflower

85g carrots

50g cucumber

50g cherry tomatoes

Little pepper and some Walden farms Italian dressing

 

230cal – overnight yogurt bowl #2

I have 2 of these each day. For the dessert variation, I usually stick to vanilla flavors with about 4g of sprinkles tossed in.

 

This all adds up slightly below 1700 but I round up for some essentials I don’t measure like spices, sauces, rum, etc.

Also, if the container says zero calories, I don’t count it. I know nothing actually has zero, but I’m not using a whole cup of Sriracha or eating the whole jar of pickles so as far as I’m concerned, if it says zero, it’s zero.

Anyways that’s it. Hopefully it helps someone? Feel free to reach out if you have ideas or questions. Thanks all!

This is really helpful! Thank you for sharing!!

Wow, you’re a champion. This is amazing, thank you for the inspo

Thank you for posting, great ideas here!

This looks great-
Is the pumpkin bowl, after the strawberry smoothie, kind of like cookie dough or a a pumpkin brownie? It looks great!

You’re a saint, appreciate you doing this to help other people!

Do you purchase all of your Walden Farms products on Amazon? Or is there a more affordable way?

Do you have the recipes for the pictured stuff?
