What makes this WEM? Syrup and the banana?
I workout in the morning, so this looks like a good breakfast to try 🙂

Probably those and all the carrots. Carrots are a very high carb vegetable.

Hi Zuzka,
Love the food journal and all the info you are providing. You stated that you take a pre-workout drink with fat burner. Can you share the brand you use please. I am always afraid of using fat burners and I figured since you are so health conscious you would use a safe one.
Thank you!

Doesn’t vanilla Greek yogurt have sugar? Is that ok?
