My Daily Intake

I really don't like the word "DIET" because it's so mentally restrictive. I have a "FOOD LIST and MEAL PLAN." Before I go any further... I want to say again that I am not a personal trainer (yet) nor a nutritionist. This is my food list and meal plans that I am sharing to whoever's interested. :)

So I start my weekday early mornings at 6:15am and try to stick to the schedule below.
