This month I'm going to really buckle down and focus on my clean eating principles. 5-6 meals a day (every 2-3 hours), whole foods only (no preservatives!), drink a crap load of water (12-16 glasses!) and combine a complex carb with a protein at each meal. That is something I haven't really done in a while. So, I've made a list of some of my own go-to meals. Keep in mind these can all be varied and changed up based on your own tastes, as well as your own personal food beliefs (vegan/grain free, etc), so just use these as a guideline. If you have others to share, I'd love to hear them!
Happy Clean Eating! <3
