Eat Like A Trainer: Jenny’s 5-Day Dinner Diary - Made Fit TV - Ep 64

September 15th, 2009 | | Email This Post Email This Post |

The grass seems to always be greener when we compare how fit others are to ourselves.  We do it everyday; and it’s hard not to when we’re bombarded with commercials and ads showing pencil-thin models gorging on hamburgers and fried chicken!  We think, “if they can eat that and look that fit, then it must be okay for me” - even though you’re trying to lose 30lbs to lower your blood pressure.

As you know, I always tell you that nutrition basically makes or breaks the way you look.  Period.  People frequently ask me: “Jenny, what do you eat?”  And I always give that blanket statement of “lean protein, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, protein bars and shakes, etc”…. Nothing that you don’t know already.  But even when I answer that, people still want me to elaborate!

There are no secrets that some sacred, fit, toned organization is keeping from you for fear they will have their tongues cut off if they break their silence.  The secret is just to DO IT!  But, I will humor you and show you a sample of a typical week of my nutrition plan.  In this new episode, I highlight dinner.  Enjoy!  And remember, with portion control, weight-training, and cardio, you can live a healthy life with healthy indulgences along the way!

    I am still catching up on older episodes...but I had to tell you that I really enjoyed this food diary segment. I have been cooking a lot of fish lately for dinner. My big issue is that most of the fish recipes that I have found use a ton of butter in the cooking and for flavor. Or other things like Halibut I just have no clue how to cook. Do you have any recepies or good substitues for butter?
  • Thanks, glad you enjoy the videos and that they help you with ideas : ) Here's how I make my fish - I bake it at 350 in the over on foil on a cookie sheet for 7-10 min with lemon juice, garlic, and salt and pepper. Just spray the foil with a little non-stick spray. You don't need any oil or butter because the fish already has enough for a serving of healthy fats. 1/2 fillet (3-4oz) is one serving for fish, btw. You can also put some low-sodium soy sauce on it or low-fat marinade and put it on the grill - yum!

    I know you are super busy, but thank you so much for the great tips! This sounds so easy and yummy!


    Thanks a million!
  • You're welcome - I want people to see that making healthy choices doesn't necessarily mean raw vegetables and dry chicken, LOL!

    Jenny,
    I loved this!!! This episode must have been made for me! I loved it for several reasons. First off,you explained the amount of calories in eat meal. You also showed the portion size, and most meals were super easy to make! It was also refreshing to see that carbs were about 40% of eat meal. I would love to see breakfast,snacks and lunch! Oh and dessert….:)
    BTW: I do like your hair!

    Its funny that you mentioned something about your hair, because i was about to tell you that your hair looked nice on Saturday.

    Another great episode jenny. :)
  • Thanks Boxer! It would be interesting to see what your dinner diary is like when you're prepping for your competitions!
