(somewhat) healthy eating (this is blog 3)

2:44 PM 6 Comments


So... as I mentioned in my last blog post, I am not a big fan of eating healthy. When this project started, I had the plan of eating more fruits and vegetables, as well as more calories. I definitely have been eating more vegetables, as well as calories, but I haven't eaten much fruit in a while. I do however have som pineapple in the fridge, so I will probably be fixing my fruit problem relatively soon!

As well as eating healthy, I have also bought some protein powder, along with some protein cakes. I put the protein powder into milkshakes (vanilla just in case anyone is wondering) and drink it either before or after my workout. Surprisingly, it tastes pretty good! or maybe that's just because I put a lot of ice cream in my milkshakes? Either way, I think they help.

They have a lot of protein in them though. Like, a surprising amount. each cake has about 7 grams of protein, and they each weigh 21 grams, with a diameter of 1.5 inches. (yes I measured them)

Enough with the supplement stuff. As my main meals, I have started to "diversify my portfolio" as one might say. just two days ago, I ate a fish called Barramundi. This fish is very low in fat, high in Omega-3 fatty acids, and (guess what?) has a ton of protein. a six-ounce serving has about 35 grams of protein!

I've also eaten some non-healthy stuff like Mcdonalds, Pizza, and Cookies. But hey, were all Human 😁

    just a tip: really not a good idea to eat ice cream before a workout hahaha, I hope you're drinking your shakes afterwards! (protein is more effective after a workout btw, as it basically just assists your muscles in rebuilding themselves)

    I once tried having a vanilla protein shake, and I almost threw up. You are very brave for drinking them. Masking the protein with ice cream was a good idea, and it will be especially good now that it's spring and the weather is getting warmer. Hopefully you can achieve the goal you're looking for! 11th grade Ethan is going to be a full time savage! (I'm sorry)

    Hey Ethan,
    Glad to see you enjoying this process. It would be really cool to see a food log of everything you eat in a day (maybe as an extra post or a vlog)! Good luck with the rest of your eating!

    Good job keeping up with being healthy (something I desperately struggle at)! Speaking of fitness, are ice cream shakes really that good before a workout.. Well overall, great job with "diversifying your palate" and the motivation you have to actually get fit is really encouraging and moving! Good luck and have fun with the rest of your journey in achieving ultimate fitness!
