As a vegetarian I get asked on a daily basis, "What do you eat?" How am I suppose to answer this question? It's an endless combination of possibilities. How does anyone really answer this question? "What do you eat?" It's not like we eat the same meals every day. So hopefully this blog post can give more of an insight as to what I eat on a daily basis and what my grocery list looks like.
My trainer, Coach Brian Vincent, has me on a totally attainable meal plan (blog post on this to come soon) and it has helped a lot. I am the worst kind of vegetarian, because I hate vegetables. I can eat carbs all day long. With his macro diet for me and finding healthier alternatives to every day items, I've found my diet to be completely functional in my lifestyle. Even on days I'm craving Taco Bell. Today, I'm sharing my typical grocery list with you today. This list is just food products and things I tend to buy every week. Also some of my go-to meals throughout the week - even my cheat days!
