A day in the food life of a dietitian isn’t always as glamorous as you may think.

Breakfasts are usually quick for me. On a good day, I enjoy my breakfast at home before work; on a bad day, in the car on my way to work.

Lunches on the weekends are usually a leisurely affair, as I like to have my main meal mid-day. Week-day lunches are either leftovers, avocado toast, soup and salad bar at work, or my favorite treat -- a veggie burger with pepper jack from the hospital cafeteria.

I am blessed to have a husband that usually makes dinner for us both, but if left to my own devices, it could likely be sharp cheddar cheese and an apple (@janecook and I are both working on getting better at making dinners after work).

Below is what I ate yesterday. It was a good day! One thing to note: I am a vegetarian (lacto-ovo, for the record).

This is not a suggested meal plan for everyone; just one day in the food life of Margaux, RD!

Breakfast:

1 Ezekiel Sprouted Grain English Muffin

2 tsp Ancient Organics Ghee

1 tsp Homemade jam

AM snack: Pink Lady Apple

Lunch:

½ C Brown rice

½ C Pinto beans (from dried-found in the bulk section)

¼ Avocado

Chopped cilantro as garnish

1 C Lettuce

PM snack:

1 oz Dark chocolate

Dinner:

1 C Brown rice pasta

2 C Sautéed vegetables (chard, carrots, green beans, and tomato is my go-to combo)

1 Tbsp. Nutritional yeast or Parmesan cheese (whichever I have on hand)

Dessert: Raspberries (maybe more dark chocolate if it is one of those days)

We’d love to hear from you! What did you eat yesterday?
