ESSENTIAL DIET FOODS: “I follow a diet rich in lean protein (chicken, fish, lean red meat), veggies and complex carbs (sweet potatoes, oatmeal, brown rice). I do love my sweets, but I try to avoid them as much as possible because refined sugar does not do the tush any good.”
ON CHEAT MEALS: “During contest prep I go ‘cold turkey,’ which means no cheat meal through the whole prep. On my off-season I will have a cheat meal once or twice a week. My favorite cheat meal is definitely anything that has to do with chocolate, but I don’t always have that for my cheat as I feel that I can never get enough of it [laughing]. I try to work my cheat meals around social and family events I might have to attend.”
ON COOKING IN BULK: “I will cook for one or two days at a time. I have been working a lot from home, so it makes it easier to cook my meals fresh. Plus, my fiancé was eating all my grilled chicken when I cooked it in bulk, so now I cook just enough for one or two days and hide it in the fridge.
FAVORITE RECIPE: “My favorite healthy snack is plain Greek yogurt, one scoop of Muscle Infusion Chocolate and a handful of almonds. It is super easy to make and it always helps me when the sweet cravings kick in.”
ON CRAVINGS: “I think the main thing is to find out if the crave is coming from boredom... the best way to figure it out is to drink water when the craving kicks in. If you are still craving 10 minutes after you had the water, then try to make a healthy option of whatever it is you are craving. The recipe I gave above always helps when I am craving something sweet.
