What I Eat In a Day | Holly T. Baxter

In today's video I'll show you a good example of what I eat in a day while in a contest prep. I get asked all the time what I eat during contest prep, so here is a typical day on my current targets ➡1750kcals from 150g Protein, 175g Carb and 50g Fat. I have to confess, this took me the better part of 6 days to film lol 😅 There wasn't a single day this week that enabled me to film a full day start to finish due to various work commitments or my meals being RIDICULOUSLY early or REALLY late in the evening! If you were with me in person you'd see me inhaling my first meal shortly after training (11:30am -12:00pm), then squeezing in a cookie or sweet yogurt snack some time late in the afternoon between 3-5pm, followed by dinner and any left over calories about an hour before bed. I assure you it is NEVER perfect, and it doesn't need to be. My number 1 goal daily is adherence to protein. My number 2 goal is adherence to calories over a 7 day period. If I can do both of these things consistently and do the work in the gym, it enables me to achieve my physique goals. In a perfect would I would aim to consume 4 meals each with ~37g protein to meet my daily requirements, and ideally I'd space them out over 3-4 hours or as far apart as possible throughout the day to optimize MPS, but my schedule rarely permits this. I often wonder how much this impacts my potential to retain muscle during fat loss?.....I don't really have an answer for this 🤷‍♀️ Point being, I'm doing 95% of the things right, so I'm probably doing ok! A full days eating for me this week looks like: 1. Omelet, English muffin and veggies 2. Greek yogurt with peanut butter on rice cakes topped with Reese chips 3. Spaghetti bolognaise 4. M&M Cookie + Chocolate sandwich cookie 5. Tuna sashimi & sautéed veggies THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING MY CHANNEL!
