My Food Journal for the past week of March 21st
Workout Schedules | March 27, 2016
I read your comments on the previous food journals and saw that some of you requested me to show what I actually eat during the week and if I cheat or if I walk the talk 🙂 so I did my best to keep a good record of what I ate for the past week. You can still use my own Food Journal as a template for your own weekly meal plan, but I really suggest you eat according to your own body-type.
I’m a mesomorph – athletic and muscular so I don’t have to always earn my carbs with a workout although I like doing that anyways because I tent to gain weight easily.
If you’re an endomorph – your body stores more fat and your goal is to get leaner or lose weight. You should definitely earn your carbs with a workout.
If you’re ectomorph – skinny, with very little muscle mass, then you don’t need to earn your carbs with a workout as long as those carbs come from natural sources like rice, potatoes, quinoa, whole grains, etc.
We should all exercise daily and avoid added sugar and junk food if we want to stay healthy and strong. If you do want to eat sugar and junk here and there, then at least earn it with your workout even if you’re naturally skinny. It will help you avoid lifestyle diseases such as diabetes.
Nutrition Guide with more info here.
FM – Free meal that you can eat at any time of the day regardless of your body type
WEM – Workout earned meal, or a meal you should earn with your training if you’re either an endomorph or an endo–mesomorph (athletic person who gains weight easily).

I liked how you took photos of everything you actually ate. It’s a good visual rather than stating the recipe only 🙂 I might try to take photos of food to keep myself accountable and help with portions

Thanks for sharing this, Zuzka! I’ve been using the app YouFood (used to be called TwoGrand), which allows users to track their food by taking pictures of it. It helps me, and it’s fun, but sometimes I get in a rut, so it’s helpful to see what you actually ate, and just as inspiring as the menu plans you post. Thank you!

There is a similar app called MealLogger which is also handy.
It allows private and public groups for members posts to be shared as well as tracking using the food-exchange system. Handy for people trying to be more conscious of habits and portions without becoming obsessed about calories (although it does give an estimate of calories based on recorded food-exchanges, so provides that structure for those who want that). It would be interesting to see a zuzka community group on this app.

Thank you Brittany and Hannah for sharing this information I downloaded YouFood and it has helped me so much! Tracking ‘macros’ only goes so far and it’s way too easy to fool myself with the numbers. Seeing everything I ate is much more dimensional!

Hey Zuzka! Instead of posting what you eat on your site why not use Snapchat? I think a lot of us already follow you on there but you dont post much! <3
