This chimichurri steak sandwich had to have a place on my feed. Stumbled across this chimichurri beef steak at Costco, and immediately threw it into our buggy. Then, this sandwich was born.

Start by grilling your steak for about 5 to 7 minutes per side. Then let it rest for at least five minutes before thinly slicing it.

In a hot pan, sauté one large white onion with garlic. I used olive oil spray to cut down on the fat and added some Worcestershire sauce when it needed a little bit more moisture. Caramelize these for at least 7 to 10 minutes.

Toast your favorite type of bun. I chose a Martin hoagie and added a bit (1 tbs) of bolthouse farms cilantro avocado dressing.

Then, top with arugula, add your steak, caramelized onions, and fresh herbs on top. I chose cilantro and parsley. Enjoy!

Tracked in a deficit yesterday to show you how I build meals to maximize satiety and actually enjoy what I am eating. Personally I am at maintenance, which is around 1950-2000 calories for me (disclaimer, I am 5’1” pretty small framed and these are my numbers, not yours). Personally, I do not track my food anymore as macros served as a way for me to learn how to build my plate mindfully white hitting my goals. I’ve been at maintenance for over a year now and plan on staying here, but I know how helpful it can be to see a day of eating in a deficit. So, here you go!

I chose a deficit that would be a very realistic intake for me coming from such a high maintenance. 1650-1700 calories would be the lowest I would be willing to go (benefits of staying at maintenance is that you don’t have to dip to drastic numbers to see a result).

I set my protein to about 130 grams (I was about 15g off of it but oh well). This is well over my weight but I enjoy a higher protein diet in a deficit to aid with overall satiety, grow and preserve muscle mass. At maintenance, I let my protein fall between 105-130 grams per day. My fat would be at thirty percent and I would fill the remaining calories with carbohydrates.

Notice how each meal is very large. I prefer to have a larger meal compared to having multiple snacks. I suggest my clients to aim for 3-4 hours between meals to aid with overall digestion, this means they are not snacking and grazing all day. By making my meals bigger, I stay fuller for longer and am very satisfied between meals.

I also prioritize fiber in every single meal. Fiber is crucial for our overall health. It reduces our risk for numerous types of cancers, aids with both digestion and satiety. Women should be aiming for 25g of fiber a day, while mean should shoot for 35g a day. I hit 29 grams of fiber this day from whole foods, not from foods that have fiber added.

*forgot to take the picture of lunch so that was the meal the day before but close enough to what I ate this day

BUILD YOUR PLATE- travel edition

Build your plate is a method to ensure balance among macros to create a balanced meal. This means you are aiming to have a protein, carb, fat and adequate fiber with each meal. But how can we ensure this when we aren’t in control of every meal? Let me show you!

You must make an effort to learn the macro categories foods fall into for this method to make sense. You also have to understand portions and sizing.

Important to remember, we aren’t robots! Not every meal is going to be perfect and I think this day of eating shows you exactly how to pivot and make changes as needed.

My priority when building meals is all about protein and fiber to maximize satiety, ensure diversity and enjoy the food I eat.

Breakfast: Protein bar with yogurt, oatmeal and berries
Power crunch bar (protein, carbs + fats)
oatmeal (carbs + fiber)
Non-fat Greek yogurt (protein)
Berries (carbs + fiber)

Estimate: 60 carbs 30 protein 15 fat 7 fiber
Actual: 59 carb | 35 protein | 15 fat

Lunch: 1/2 club sandwich (this thing was massive and highly recommend Shermans)
Whole wheat bread (carbs + fiber)
Deli turkey (protein)
Bacon (protein + fats)
Mayo (fats)

Estimate: 30 carb 45 protein 15 fat 5 fiber
Actual (logged similar on MF): 25 carb | 51 protein | 19 fat

Post hike snack: one stuffed date with beet, lemon, ginger juice
Juice (carbs)
1 stuffed date (carbs + fat)

Estimate: 45 carb 2 protein 5 fat 2 fiber
Actual (logged similar on MF): 55 carb | 2 protein | 3 fat

*notice with this meal there’s no protein.

Dinner: Chicken piccata (limited options at Italian place and I needed high protein with vegetables)
Chicken (protein)
Veggies (minimal carbs + fiber)
Sauce (fats)
Bread, not pictured (carbs)

Estimate: 30 carb 35 protein 25 fats 5 fiber
Actual (logged similar on MF): 30 carb | 41 protein | 21 fat

Total macros estimated for the day: 170 carb | 130 protein | 55 fat | 20 fiber
Honestly, these targets are a bit low for my maintenance + the level of activity out here (steps were almost 20k yesterday). I am shooting for at least 130 protein, 200 carb and 60 fats with 25 grams of fiber at the minimum.
