Date night dilemmas?

▪️ DATE NIGHT DILEMMAS ▪️

So many of my girls panic when they know they've got an event to go too.

" what do I do?"

Truth is, these events shouldn't fill you full of dread. They're part of life & life is made for living.

If you're someone who's reading this and immediately you think yep this is me.. then keep reading..

Calorie banking - where you put away a few extra carbs & fats from your weeks allowance in order to enjoy a night and consume more food.

Example:

Your macros are 1800 per day, 170g carbs and 55g of fat. (This isn't correct so please don't quote me 🤣)

Removing 20g of carbs from your monday- Friday would leave you 100g extra carbs for a Saturday evening event. Removing 10g of fats would leave you with an extra 50g of fat. This is ideal for a weekend of gourmet food 😍✌️ and there is no restriction.

However some people may decide that they do not want to do this and rather they would prefer to try and intuitively eat. This for me is better & it teaches you skills without restricting or binging.

My go to foods are as follows:

Proteins 🥩🥓🍖🍗:

Grilled chicken breast, rib eye steak, fillet steak, gammon, grilled turkey, grilled fish, mince, prawns, seafood.

Carbs🥖🥯🧇 Pasta (tomato based) jacket potato, baby potatoes, bread rolls, brioche bun, spicy rice, boiled rice, mash potato, sweet potato mash, cous cous, alcohol (gin,vodka,prosecco,rum.. the spirits and diet mixers)

Fats butter on potatoes or bread roll, olive oil dressing on side, mayo on side, olives, peanuts, cheese, houmous.

These are my personal favourites and these allow me to flexible diet when I'm out.
