I'm a pretty plain eater, I don't calorie count or track my food, I adjust my food depending on my training goals and the way I feel / look.
I eat around 6 meals a day.
Meal-prepping evenings are Sunday and Wednesday nights, organisation is key.🔑

Dairy Free, High Protein

Cheese, spice and sugars are definitely my no go
What's your go-to cheat meal?
Thai or woodfire pizza
