WIAW (a LOT of food)
Posted on Apr 4, 2012 in bikini competition prep, cooler, lunch, WIAW (What I Ate Wednesday) | 28 comments
So for today’s WIAW I am showing you what I am eating (ish) for the next a while.
- Breakfast will be either 4 egg whites and one whole egg or 6 egg whites, scrambled with veggies and 1/2 cup oatmeal (measured dry).
- Mid morning snack will be 1 cup greek yogurt with 3/4 cup granola and .5 oz almonds.
- Lunch – 6oz protein, today I did mini turkey burgers – new recipe below and I have 3/4 cup of my quinoa salad.
- Mid afternoon snack will be 1/2 cup cottage cheese and 1.5 slices of brown rice bread
- Pre workout – one scoop PP with 1/2 cup oat flour and cinnamon
- Post workout – one scoop PP with an apple or 1/2 cup oat flour and cinnamon and glutamine
- Dinner – either 6 egg whites with veggies or 6oz of chicken depending (not pictured)
- Before bed – I do not like caesin at all. I have tried over and over and it makes me want to gag every time. So I am going to do my Isopure Unflavored mixed with water and cinnamon and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese (not pictured)
- Assorted veggies all day
This will have to change when I eliminate dairy and whey and switch to whole foods but for now it works. It is so much food. The carbs are really filling me up and I am trying to get veggies at every meal but it hard. I know I will get used to it I just hope it doesn’t take to long.
Also as of yesterday and today I didn’t have an energy slump so I think evenly distributing the carbs really helps me. Interesting. 
you can friend request on MyFitnessPal if you want to see daily stuff – monika_fit. (**NOTE I do not log my veggies at all unless it is avocado because I don’t need to right now – they are basically free calories**)
And we can’t forget my three water bottles I had today. When I workout in the afternoon I have to bring a protein shaker with me. And now that I am back to my powder BCAAs I bring a separate bottle for that in addition to my regular one I carry for school.
So here is the recipe for these mini turkey burger – super easy and they take 5 minutes to get ready and put in the oven.
Ingredients:
- 1 package lean ground turkey
- 1/2 yellow onion
- 1/2 cup oats
- jalepenos (as many as you like) chopped
- a few dashes of hot sauce and worcestershire
Directions:
- Mix everything together and shape into golf sized balls – mine made 13 because my turkey was a little over a lb.
- Bake on a non-stick sheet for 30-40 minutes (flipping half way through) at 350 degrees
They have a little kick from the jalepenos and hot sauce and you can top with whatever you like when you eat them enjoy!
Here is the first pic I promised you guys yesterday – no I am not wearing a ninja outfit – just all black.
You can see how I look really straight up and down so I need to get some weight on my legs/booty and lean out my mid section. I do not like this pic but oh well
My favorite thing in the workouts today was a triple tie but I had to pick one so I pick…burpees!! Yes. I am the crazy person that loves burpees.
I need some recipe inspiration right now so what would you guys like to see as a main ingredient?

I LOVE YOUR NINJA OUTFIT!!!!! Hahaha you look great, girl! I don’t know what you’re talking about. Keep on killing it though. You’re doing amazing
I told little b I want MAC AND CHEESE so if you can somehow miraculously make that clean, I would love you forever
Haha – glad you like it
my problem is that I don’t eat wheat and it is suuuuper hard to find alternative noodles 
I will look though 
u can use Rice noodles girl!
YESSS!! Another burpee lover. I’m a major burpee fan! I’d do ‘em all day long, with pushups, without pushups, side burpees, you name it, I love them!
And I agree with Christina, you look amazing. I also have no idea why you don’t love that picture b/c you rock
So psyched for you!
Hahahaha – you are awesome! I seriously don’t get the bad rep that burpees have developed
and thanks for being so sweet! We are always our toughest critics.
You are so going to rock the competition and you already look great!! I know that you are half Hispanic and I have been DYING for some chilaquiles (have you heard of them/had them?). They are my favorite but of course SO SO NOT clean. My dads were the best!! Made super simple (tortillas, oil, tomato sauce, pato sauce, onions and LOTS of CHEESE). I am working on coming up with a clean version so if you have any ideas I would be your #1 fan forever LOL!!! Also I was wondering what supplements you take? Thanks and again you look fantastic.
Thanks Luvena! I actually have never had those. We were more of an enchilada and tamale family and I didn’t make a clean enchilada that was amazing – I will have to look at the chilaquiles and try to come up with something
I take a mutli-v, D, B-12, Omega 3-6-9 and BCAAs.
Did you make homemade granola? If not, what brand are you using?
No I am using ancient grains but when I run out I am going to switch to Ezekiel because it is lower in sugar. I want to try a homemade granola I just haven’t had time lately.
I just found your blog this week and am obsessed with it! IAlso, I just realized going through my friend list this morning that we’re actually already friends on MFP
Anyways, I love your blog and think you are very inspiring and I look forward to watching you prepare for your first comp 
I’m making your mini turkey burgers for next weeks food prep, they look so good!
Thanks Brenda! I’m so glad you like it and how funny we were already friends
let me know what you think about the burgers!
Hello my love
Well I just think my Miss Monika is being way too hard on herself <3 You look fab
Seriously. I am not just saying that, love.
I loved the title of this post
It really excited me 
You really inspire me, but you already knew that 
I love hearing that you don't log vegetables. So no veg at all? No squash no nothing? I haven't been either, but I just am curious 
Oh, p.s. I am so not knowledgeable with myfitnesspal so I cannot see your stuff cause I don't know how 
HAHAHAHA
Anywho,
looking forward to future posts – as per usual
I have made turkey muffins with jalapeños before and I think they are the best ones I have ever made, so I totally love your burgers
p.s. love love love uuuuu and proud of you for giving the 40/40/20 a try
Hahaha you are so sweet! I do eat veggies – usually at M1/M3/M5 but I don’t track them because they are free calories for me while I am gaining so I can have as much as I want.
Great job with the protein! Thanks for the turkey burger recipe; they sound yummy.
Thanks Tiff! Let me know if you try them and what you think – also I LOVE your page name.
Hi Y’all. You look very fit to me and you will belong on the cover of Oxygen magazine when you are done with this challenge. In response to the mac alternative: Try these yam noodles,Shirataki. You can find them in the vegetarian refrigerated section. Zero calories. A lite laughing cow wedge (or two) can be tossed in with garlic and spices to give it some flavor.
Great idea! And thank you for the kind words
I’m going to have to try that!
What brand BCAA do you prefer. Also do you take them before AND after? I just started my fitmixer BCAA yesterday along with the workout plan. I loved the circuit style training. In and out of the gym.
I am loving it too!! I use Sci Fit
and I take it before and after.
you look amazing girl! and i actually love the ninja outfit! haha basically because that is my outfit when i usually hit the gym too!
Added you on mfp! question..i noticed you don’t log your pre and post protein shakes…what is your reasoning behind that?
love you and your recipes!!<3
Thanks Emily!! I can’t wait until you start blogging again
I don’t log my shakes because they are “extra” on workout days so my other macros shouldn’t change in relation to them. I also don’t log my veggies for the same reason – since I am gaining they are “free”calories.
I always wear all black to the gym and always wonder if people think its a one piece or something! ha
Do a recipe on how to make Tilapia taste good….I have such a hard time eating fish!
I have a ‘fried’ tilapia recipe here
I love it.

Hi Monika!
I wanted to ask you why you do not log your veggies. I guess I never really considered them as something I needed to log, but now as I do, I realize my carb intake sky rocketed. Is it important to take veggie carbs into consideration when starting the LiveFit trainer?
I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Hi!! It’s only important to log them (in my opinion) if you are carb cycling or eating a lot of cooked veggies. Hope you’re enjoying the trainer!
What changes would you make if no dairy? Why do you recommend logging cooked veggies? Thanks!
When I eliminate dairy I do things like tuna, chicken and steak in its place. Raw veggies the body burns more than you eat breaking it down so I don’t count them. Cooked veggies aren’t as hard for the body to break down so they count towards my carb intake.
Is dairy eliminated because of the sugar content? Is the amount that you would intake from yogurt going to amount to a big deal in the big picture? I do not drink milk, and occasionally I do eat yogurt. Just wondering how to balance out the pro’s and con’s.
Also, I read The Eat Clean Diet Stripped. Do you know how it differs from the recharged version? She does mention no dairy in Stripped. Thanks!
