What Do I Eat?

Often I get asked, "what do you eat?" I realized I've never shared what my daily food regimen is like. I tend to go through food phases. I get obsessed with a specific meal and that's all I want to eat for a few months, then I'll discover something new and the cycle repeats. I have to eat every few hours otherwise I get crabby, but sometimes I get so busy I forget (which is not good and do not follow in my footsteps)! I will do different combinations, so I repeat some things, but I don't eat anything twice a day except fruit and veggies! I will only eat nut or nut butter once a day, so if I eat it in the morning, then I don't consume it in the afternoon. I try to limit my fat intake because between hummus and nuts it can get loaded, though they are healthy fats, everything in moderation! I also don't eat big meals. I tend to get full quickly because I eat throughout the day consistently. Here's a look at some of the things I choose to eat during the day:
