Question: Have you ever looked back at a day’s worth of eats and thought, “well that wasn’t very balanced!” before? My day yesterday was verrryyyy veggie heavy!
{ 53 comments… read them below or add one }
All the time…except it usually goes, “Wow! Would you look at that I ate nothing but carbs…”
Hahahahaha same here!
Ditto, lol! Carbs and chocolate!
xyx
I’m with Yolie!
Your lucky you can say it was veggies Chelsey!
On another note, I have to check that zucchini bread crumbless. I just made Zucchini muffins with added protein powder and used only a little bit of coconut oil, but love recipes with zucchini and less oil if possible
I need to start doing WIAW so I can see my meals. I think looking at it all laid out like that would be kinda fun?? Is that weird? You meals look good…heavy veggie and all.
Yes! Yesterday mine was dairy heavy with yogurt in the morning, a small cup of ice cream (I couldn’t resist!) in the afternoon, and forzen yogurt after my evening softball game.
My husband and I keep each other accountable for our healthy habits by sharing what we ate each day (breakfast, lunch, snacks at work). It also helps me look back on my day and see if I got enough fruits, veggies and protein in during they day. I do great at getting in fruits and veggies but struggle with protein. He is great at drinking protein shakes but does not eat enough fruits and veggies. I am never lacking on the carb department. With my current half marathon training schedule, I need those extra calories!
I have a weird little obsession with Sweet Tomatoes. A salad bar will get me every time!
Hey, veggie-heavy days are never a bad thing
I have times like that where I look back and think “that wasn’t very balanced” all the time. Although I’m usually eating too much oatmeal or something. LOL
Are those crunchy green bean chips!? myyy fav! <3 Happy WIAW gorgeous!
Isn't it crazy to look back on the day and spot out a zany pattern. sometimes I realize all I ate was veggies, other days all the food will be the same two colors… and sometimes I hit the jackpot with a baller balanced day — though I never know til I reflect with my WIAW photos
<3
Ahhh….small midwestern towns. Not known for their food, are they? I can say that because I live in one.
I used to go to Sweet Tomato all the time. I haven’t been there in forever, and definitely need to go soon
Many times on the weekends I look back and realize I had too many sweets!
Even though it was veggie focused….it looked yummy!
I usually look back and think “Gosh I ate a lot of oats today…”
haha I have those days too!
I always notice particulars about my meals when I do WIAW! For example, this week…I didn’t have one breakfast picture! How did my breakfasts escape me this week!?
Does your belly ever hurt after eating 2 plates of veggies like that? Everytime I do I am bloated and in pain!
Usually yes - last night I felt okay!
I was so taken by your food photos that I nearly missed the new blog design! Love it!
Thank you on both accounts!
What are ‘crunchy green beans”? They look yummy.
Um like every day. It’s either super hummus- or larabar-heavy. I can’t help mahself! How do you make that protein muffin girlfrand?!
1 scoop Sunwarrior, 1 flax egg, a pinch of baking soda, cinnamon, some vanilla, and about 2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce. All in the microwave for about 3 minutes!
as a coffee and starbucks addict that little line made me giggle.
ps. I grew up in Indiana and Shipshewana was a yearly thing. love it.
Yesterday was my first time there!
Wait, I’ve been to Shipshewana, Indiana… twice! My boyfriend’s relatives live about 45 minutes away and whenever we visit we always go and buy a ton of honey and popcorn!
I definitely have days that aren’t balanced but all your eats look amazing. Love the breakfast!
yes! Except I feel like most of my eats end up being full of carbs. Oatmeal and bread.. all the way
Usually it’s “wow…I sure like carbs”
Wow, that is a ton of veggies, but that’s a lot better than the alternatives, haha.
Deeee-lish eats, girl
I look back at my eats and notice certain themes for sure. Some days it’s all about the chocolate and almond butter. Other days, it’s all about the fruits and veggies. I don’t really pay attention to balancing things day by day, because it all works itself out in the long run anyways 
I loveeee jazz apples-they have the best flavor in my opinion
i definitely have un-balanced days..but too many veggies is not always a bad thing
Is there such a thing as TOO many veggies???? I guess it depends on your point of view
Your day looks like it was very delicious.
After writing up today’s WIAW on my blog, I realized “wow, I hardly ate any vegetables.” We balance each other out
Only 1 word necessary: YUM
Haha I defs have those days all the time! I try to make up for it but sometimes you just need extra carbs one day
oh GIRL I need to go to that place you went for dinner- yummm!! crunchy green beans? that sounds delish too!!! love you sugar!
I ALWAYS do that. Sometimes it’s pretty embarrassing haha. Those green beans look awesome!
I’ll sometimes look back on a day and realize I focused more on one food group than another. Often for me its the fruit group.
I have a weird thing about the color of my food. If I look back through my day and don’t see a rainbow of color I feel very unsettled. P.S. I have been reading your blog for maybe 2 months now and have been meaning to tell you that I LOVE it. Your writing style is great and your content is super entertaining. Thanks
I like to see a rainbow too!
THanks for the kind words, Darian!
Haha what restaurant was that?
Haha I was actually just thinking about my eats today and I realized it was a very carb and cheese-heavy day! And I loved every bite.
Yes I do look back over a day and see how unbalanced mine is….and usually, its not veggie heavy, but processed food/carbie heavy! I’m working on that! I do try to choose lots of different colors….your new blog design looks great!
Yummy eats!! Starbucks is defintely the most important part of my day too girlie
I definitely have days where I look back and think “wow - too many carbs and too much chocolate” lol But in the end it all balances out 
xoxo
That place you went for dinner sounds wonderful! The green beans.. yum
YES! I think that every time I go home to visit my family. They’re not really veggie eaters (Although I’m convincing my mom!) so it’s hard to get in the normal amount of veggies that I typically eat!
Mmmm that first bowl of oatmeal is the best looking thing ever. And I LOVE your new updated page!! Beautiful new picture of you, too.
LOL yeah my eats can lean a little towards the too- much-fruit side of things sometimes! Your veggies look so pretty though! What’s the Sunwarrior Protein Muffin? did you bake that or is it something I can buy?
love your blog btw!
I’d probably think that I ate pretty good and healthy all day. And then dessert comes…
Those green beans look awesome!
Great wiaw, can’t wait to read more
I ADORE Sweet Tomatoes!! I can’t wait until I live close to one again
I used to load up my salad plate (like a kid in a candy store) and then I’d do the same with the soft serve… mmmmm
