I am so happy that you have decided to either start or continue your fitness journey. Although this training guide will provide insight into how to train your legs and glutes, the true success will rely in training your mind to challenge yourself when circumstances are less than perfect. Remember, without application of what you have learned, there will not be results. To do this training program, you must be willing to step out of your comfort zone & do the exercises that you might feel less than confident doing. The more you practice them with proper form, the more these exercises will come with ease. Always focus on your weaknesses until they become your strengths. Finally, train your mind to have the attitude that you can achieve anything you desire. You can build your glutes no matter how stubborn that they might seem. Don’t give up on bettering yourself, the results you seek take time, you must trust the process & in your own abilities. This training guide will have three months of workouts for you to accomplish. Take this guide seriously and you will see results all with time and dedication. I would encourage you to take pictures (side, front, back) on a monthly basis to track your progress and to keep your goal in mind. I would recommend taking these pictures near a white wall, so there isn’t background noise, and the quality of the pictures will be better. You can always snap me for accountability purposes or to share your progress with me (snap: bribaebee33). If you “half ass” this guide, expect to have half the ass that you want. I train glutes & legs often because that is the asset that I want most. I would recommend training lower body two times a week and completing three high intensity twenty-minute cardio sessions as well. If you are a beginner to the gym, work up to this expectation. In addition, if you are struggling to put on weight, you can reduce your HIIT or cardio sessions to 1-2 times a week. You will be very sore, especially the first few weeks, however strive to push through. Train your mind to work as hard as you are training your body. You may not always be motivated, but you can always choose to be disciplined.

There are four supersets for each workout. A superset (SS) involves two exercises performed, one after the next, with no rest in between. The supersets that I include consist of a weightlifting exercise generally paired with a plyometric exercise. This may vary, however. Try your best to keep the workouts that are superset together, together. However, if one piece of equipment is too far from the other that you are supersetting with, feel free to switch it out with another exercise from that week. I always recommend choosing enough weight where it challenges you, you are able to keep perfect form, and can complete the number of reps assigned. The following workouts are designed to be high intensity. The rest period should be minimal after each superset in order to keep your heart rate up and to maximize the amount of calories burned. I would suggest one-minute rest periods after each superset is complete. You can use a stopwatch or timer on your phone to ensure that you aren’t taking longer rest periods than you should be. The workouts are set up so that you rotate workouts every week. The workouts are repeated every other week. For instance, week 1 & 3 are the same workouts, week 2&4 are the same workouts, week 5&7 are the same workouts, and so forth.

If you have a hard time putting on weight, I would recommend limiting the number of cardio/hiit training sessions you do to 1-2 times. Remember, it is important to be eating enough calories so that you can put on muscle while keeping a fit frame. The type of cardio that will maximize your glute gains is the stair stepper in the interval training setting. This is similar to high intensity interval training (HIIT). If this machine is not available at your gym, I would recommend the elliptical, sprints, or incline walking on the treadmill. To complete HIIT, train your hardest for 20 seconds, then moderate speed for 40 seconds. Repeat until you have completed the 15 minute duration. If you are incapable of doing the stairstepper or sprints, I would recommend elliptical or 20 minutes of treadmill walking on incline instead. As for timing of HIIT or cardio, do whatever works best for you, whether it is before or after your lifts. In fact, you can even choose to do your HIIT cardio sessions at a different time of the day than when you weightlift if you feel it is easier on your body. I encourage you to explore what fits you best as an individual. It is ideal to do your cardio on days you aren't training legs.

These workouts are designed to challenge you mentally and physically. If you aren’t feeling challenged, this means you will likely not be changing your physique. If you are able to finish each set with ease, increase the weight that you are using, add bands and or ankle weights whenever possible. Please know that I struggle with doing workouts just like any other person does. There are days I don’t want to lift. There are days I am very sore and would rather stay in bed. There are days I would rather eat brownies and icecream. This is normal. Do not let your training or nutrition depend on your emotions. You purchased this guide committing to change. Remember that every time you feel like quitting you must keep going. Success arrives when you focus on the task at hand and complete it to the best of your ability. Do each rep, each set, and each workout with purpose! I would love to see your progress with before and after pictures. Please email me at hello@brianachandler.com or direct message me through instagram @bribaebee, hashtag #brisbabes, or tag me in your progress pictures. This glute guide is what you make of it. Knowledge isn’t power, it’s the application of knowledge that is powerful beyond measure. I have provided you with the tools you need in order to be successful, now go out and apply yourself in regards to training and nutrition. Work hard & let’s see those results!

What are Macronutrients? + Macronutrients consist of proteins, carb, and fats + Protein is 4 calories/gram + Carbs are 4 calories/gram + Fats are 9 calories/gram How much protein should I consume? + It is essential to eat an adequate amount of protein to ensure that you aren't losing muscle while dieting. Remember that proteins are the building blocks of muscle. + Protein intake while weight training is generally around 0.81.0g/lb. If you are lean and or lean in a caloric deficit protein intake can be higher at about 1.0-1.3 g/lb.

Rc o m H E A LT H Y E AT S How many fats & carbs should I consume? + Fat intake should be around 15-25% of your daily calories, carbs will take up the rest of your remaining calories (besides your intake of protein of course). + If you have been on a very restricted diet prior to this, you must slowly increase your calories to prevent gaining too much fat. What are Micronutrients? + Micronutrients are made up of of vitamins and minerals. + They help with your body processes, your overall physical and mental well-being, they help you develop, and they also aid in preventing heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, etc. Importance of fiber intake + Fiber is a key component of your diet because it helps keep you full and your insulin levels under control. + Fiber can help with your bowel movements and maintaining a healthy weight + Fiber intake should be around 14 grams per 1,000 calories you eat. + Too much fiber may cause bloating or may prevent you from absorbing certain nutrients and minerals, it isn't recommended to exceed 60g per day.

I don't believe things should be off limits, I do believe in balance. When you feel restricted, you want to eat way more than you should & it can consume you. + Make sure to keep an eye on your sugar intake. It is best to have sugar coming from wholesome sources such as fruit. If you do consume refined or processed sugars, be sure to meet your fiber intake. It will help you keep your insulin under control. + I recommend increasing your carb intake on lower body days & lowering your carb intake on days you aren't training large muscle groups. When you increase your carbs, it is good to decrease your fat intake. i Helpful tools for dieting + Download an app on your phone such as MyFitnessPal, MyPlate, Track, etc to help with tracking. + You can buy a digital scale to measure out foods & plan your meals a day ahead, you could use measuring spoons and cups as well. + Use a scale to weigh yourself and track progress every couple of weeks. Stay consistent with the time of day in which you are weighing yourself. Mornings are a great time to weigh yourself (before you eat or drink). If you would rather take measurements, that is fine as well. Or if you don't desire to do this take progress pictures instead.

If you are active, it is a good idea to drink more water. Men can drink around 125 fluid ounces. + A good way to check if you are drinking enough water is to check the color of your urine. If it is yellow, you are dehydrated. + Personally, I drink a gallon of water a day which is 128 fluid ounces. If I don't finish it all, I am not hard on myself. I just make an effort to drink more water the next day. + Other drinks I recommend: herbal tea (green tea is great for your metabolism and fat loss), plain coffee (great for energy levels), and zero calorie drinks. Useful formulas + Harris Benedict formula can be used to calculate your RESTING METABOLIC RATE (RMR). This is also referred to as your Basal Metabolic Rate, in other words the rate at which you burn the energy that is required when your body is at rest. + RMR for women=655+(4.35 x weight in pounds)+(4.7x height in inches)–(4.7x age). + RMR for men=66+(6.23 x weight in pounds) +(12.7 x height in inches)–(6.8 x age). + Your RMR is then multiplied by your activity factor, this will give you your maintenance calories, which is essentially the equivalent of when calories in = calories out. + ACTIVITY FACTORS IN GENERAL: 1.

You will being burning calories from your workouts as well to produce a deficit of at least 500 calories/day which is 3,500 calories per week. On the contrary, If you are seeking to gain about 1 lb a week, increase your caloric intake by 500 calories per day to your maintenance level calories. Adjust your macros depending on how easily you lose/gain weight. + Feel free to use an online macro calculator if you are limited on time. I suggest calculating your intake out from more than one site. Answers for your caloric and macro intake may vary, so you can take the average of three. Try to make sure that the website you are using takes into consideration factors such as your age, weight, activity level, etc and are accurate. + Another alternative is to meet with a dietician or nutritionist. + A diet that is balanced, is a diet that is sustainable. Eat foods that you enjoy. Don't force yourself to eat anything just because it is "healthy." For instance, just because broccoli is healthy doesn't mean you have to eat it if you hate it. Find a different vegetable that you enjoy eating instead! + Try new recipes, experiment with different seasonings, explore a variety of foods and switch up the ways you prepare them. + Everyone's experience with flexible dieting, intuitive dieting, and dieting in general are different.

This is more suitable for understanding what you are intaking caloric wise, but after awhile you will know intuitively how much to eat, what to eat, and when to eat. You will be in better tune with your body. The hand method is a very convenient way to measure your food group portions. Look at the figure below to understand this visually. Fresh, wholesome & minimally processed foods are ideal. Keep your home full of these so you are always prepared! Experiment in the kitchen, your meals do not have to be boring! Try out some new seasonings or recipes for a change. It is important to enjoy what you consume. Learn what meals are efficient to make because life can get very busy and you want to be able to adhere to a healthy lifestyle. For ideas, glance at the list of sources for lean proteins, fats, carbs, and beverages. A serving of protein 1 Palm A serving of vegetables/fruits 1 Fist A serving of carbs 1 Cupped Hand A serving of fats 1 Thumb These are the approximate portion sizes per meal (roughly 4 meals/day), these can certainly be adjusted based on hunger & fullness cues. For example, if you are too full, you will adjust by eating less which means decreasing your portion sizes. If you are still hungry, you will adjust by eating more which means increasing your portion. If you are eating less than 4 meals a day, you are going to adjust by increasing your portion sizes at each meal to still reach your caloric intake. If you are eating more than 4 meals a day, you are going to adjust by decreasing your portion sizes at each meal. How often you eat is your own personal preference. Your portions can also vary depending on your physical goals. For instance, if you want to lean out you might decrease your portions of fats or carbs slightly. If you are trying to gain weight you might increase your portion of fats or carbs. Pay attention to how your body is responding by how you feel and how you look as well (your results). It is important to be performing well in and outside of the gym.

If your goals are overwhelming, perhaps reassess your initial commitment(s) and start with smaller goals. For instance, if you don’t feel confident with working out 5 times a week, you could try 3 instead. After a couple of weeks, it is helpful to go over what went well with your behavior changes and what didn’t go well. Use the space below to write down your answers. a.

A limiting factor is exactly what it sounds like: whatever may prevent you from reaching your goals. Once you identify what they are, you can create an alternative approach or solution. Let me provide you with a couple examples: perhaps you excessively drink Sprite and eat junk food when you are stressed. Try replacing the soda with a healthier alternative like sparkling mineral water with squeezed lime and lemon juice into it! As for eating junk food when stressed, address the deeper root to why you are stressed and deal with correcting that. Perhaps you are stressed about a relationship. This might mean that you have to communicate with that person you have issues with. Other limiting factors might be: skipping meals, not hitting protein intake, lack of rest, ill preparation, a diet lacking flavor and nutrients, restrictive behavior, choosing to be lazy, and more. In the figure below, use the left column to jot down what your limiting factors are & and in the right column write your alternatives/solutions to them. a. LIMITING FACTORS a.

It is necessary to first consult with your doctor & to have the correct understanding of your personal needs. If using dietary supplements, it is wise to purchase from a reputable and trustworthy brand. Protein powder: If possible, get your protein from lean protein sources/ whole foods. I will include a list of some good protein sources below. Protein powder is not necessary, but it is convenient. Do not overdo protein powder (1-2 servings a day is ideal). Some days you may find it more challenging to hit your protein intake. This is when a protein drink or snack would be useful. Personally, I try to have a protein drink + protein snack (aside from the protein sources listed below) everyday. They help satisfy my sweet tooth & get me closer to hitting my designated protein intake! There are a variety of different protein powders on the market: whey protein (more cost effective than whey isolate protein), whey isolate protein (quickly absorbed and goes through more filtering than whey protein), casein protein (dairy protein that is digested and absorbed much slower- generally consumed before bed), soy protein, pea protein, brown rice protein (debates of whether it is as effective as whey protein), a variety of plant based proteins (I have noticed being very satiated taking this type of protein, may be a compromise in taste), egg proteins etc. Selection of protein powder may vary depending on the diet you choose (vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, etc). 3.1 Protein sources · Greek yogurt · Halibut · Peas · Cottage cheese · Sea Scallops · Lentils · Chicken · Tofu · Quinoa · Lean Ground beef · Salmon (also a good source of fat- · Ezekiel bread · Beef jerky omega 3s) · Nuts (monitor intake) · Turkey bacon · Milk · Chia seeds · Ground turkey · Edamame · Hemp seeds Meatless meat (meatballs, beef, · Rice and beans · Spirulina burgers, etc) · Navy beans · Peanut butter (monitor intake) · Eggs · Calico beans · Nut butters · Tuna · Refried beans · Tilapia · Chickpeas (could have hummus) · Prepared exclusively for stephanietran2409@gmail.com Transaction: 4482 w w w . b r i a n a c h a n d l e r . c o m H E A LT H Y E AT S 3.2 Greens If you fail to reach your daily servings of greens, this is a supplement you might consider adding into your regime. A greens supplement will not replace all the benefits of your wholesome fruits and veggies, however a proper greens supplement will include a variety of phytonutrients (nutrients that come from plants) in it as well as other vitamins and minerals. Look for greens that include spirulina, cruciferous sources, and chlorella and make sure there are not added fillers. 3.3 Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) Amino acids are simply the building blocks of protein. Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. BCAAs are popular among those who train fasted (i.e. fasted cardio) as they are absorbed into the bloodstream quickly (the BCAAs that come from whey protein can take longer to be broken down and absorbed). In addition, athletes may take these before, during, or after their lifts for claimed purposes of protein synthesis, muscle recovery, improved performance, etc. I personally, would not start with this supplement if you are just beginning your fitness journey, but rather focus on consuming lean protein & wholesome foods as well as stay consistent with your gym routine. If you have the extra cash allowance you could try a sample of BCAAs out and see if you notice personally notice a difference! I use them, but not on a day to day basis. I may use them on my higher intensity training days. 3.4 Multivitamin Multivitamins may aid in the prevent certain deficiencies as well as improvement of bodily processes. It is generally recommended to avoid taking mega doses. Too much of a certain vitamin can potentially be harmful. If you are eating a very nutrient dense diet, a multivitamin is not usually necessary. 3.5 Vitamin D If you are exposed to sunlight frequently, you most likely do not need to supplement with this. Those who excessively use of sunscreen, spend a lot of time indoors, or live in a polluted area may be at risk for deficiency of vitamin D, a doctor must test for this & advise accordingly. Benefits of vitamin D may include: maintaining healthy bones as well as teeth, mood improvement, absorption of calcium, aid in immunity/prevention of disease, etc. Vitamin D can be found in egg yolks, salmon, shrimp, sardines, liver, mackerel or fortified foods that include it, etc. It must be consumed in healthy and safe doses, like other supplements it must not be abused.

Feel free to get creative in your kitchen and experiment on your own. On the same note, you do not have to go buy the same brand of every ingredient that I list. I do not want you to feel like you have to do anything. These are just resources intended to help you. 1. Spaghetti with zucchini noodles (zoodles) Ingredients list · Meatballs (homemade or · · · · beyond meat) Spaghetti sauce Olive oil Zucchini noodles Nutritional yeast · 1 chopped garlic clove or garlic powder · Mrs. Dash table blend · Salt · Fresh parmesan cheese This is super simple to prepare. You can buy zoodles that are already spiralized or buy a zucchini spiralizer and make them yourself. I prefer the thinner noodles over the thicker ones. I bought my spiralizer from Aldi for roughly $13 in the summertime. Then you can buy some vegan meatballs (Beyond meat is the brand that I use) and you will cook them over the stove in sauce of choice. You could always make your own, but I prefer to buy organic spaghetti sauce (ingredients that I can trust) and use that. It is fairly cost efficient and healthy. Once the sauce and meatballs are nearly done cooking, begin sautéing the zucchini noodles. I pour some olive oil in the pan (watch amount used here, you can use measuring spoons if you tend to pour more than the serving size). You can chop up one garlic clove and toss it in the olive oil (or just sprinkle some garlic powder on the noodles). You can season with table salt or Mrs. Dash table blend as well as nutritional yeast seasoning. Be sure to stir so nothing burns to your pan. They should be done cooking in 3-4 minutes and then you can pour some of your spaghetti and meatball sauce on top. Feel free to sprinkle fresh parmesan cheese on top once you are finished.

Spicy beef & potato crumbles Ingredients list · · · · Lean beef or Beyond meat beef crumbles Mini potatoes Greek yogurt (substitute for sour cream) Hot sauce (Franks buffalo sauce to mix in) On the stove, heat up some beef crumbles & cook in a pan until done. Next, take some mini potatoes (you can buy ones that come with seasoning, I buy from Little Potato Company). I cook mine in the microwave for about 4 minutes, but this may change depending on how many you use. You do not want your potatoes to shrivel up so keep an eye on them! You can mix in seasoning packet with a little oil or butter to get it to stick (not much). Utilize the hand method so you don’t overdo the butter/oil! Mix the beef crumbles and the potatoes together and add 1-2 dollops of Greek yogurt on top. Finally, you can drizzle some hot sauce on top. If you like your food extra spicy, add some more. Franks buffalo sauce is relatively low calorie so you do not need to be overly concerned with portion size. 3. Egg, cheese, & avocado sandwiches Ingredients list · · · · Ezekiel bread or English muffins 2 eggs ½ slice cheese on each egg ⅓ avocado on each sandwich Cook two eggs sunny side up. I prefer to have the yolk soft, but you can cook it all the way thru if you prefer. Once it is almost done cooking, take ½ slice cheese (I use velveeta- it is very cheesy!) and put ½ slice on each egg. Put an English muffin or Ezekiel bread in toaster. Now slice some avocado & set on top of egg. You can keep the bread open face if you would like or make it into one sandwich.

Shrimp & asparagus stir-fry Ingredients list · Fresh or frozen shrimp of · · · · choice ⅓ yellow onion 1/2 a habanero 1 garlic clove Olive oil · Rinsed asparagus · Mrs. Dash Table blend · Salt For this all you have to do is devine your frozen shrimp under cool water and throw away the outer covering. I buy the brand Cape Covelle because they taste better than other frozen shrimp (this is in my opinion, but I can be pretty picky with what I eat). I rinse them under water once again. You could always use fresh shrimp if you want! Chop up some yellow onion and half a habanero (if you like a kick of spice). Feel free to chop up a garlic clove as well. Similar to the spicy egg recipe below. Put into pan with hot olive oil (or oil of your choice). Add in asparagus (be sure it is rinsed) next to the shrimp and cook together in pan. Add table blend or salt to season. 5. Eggs with turkey bacon and ezekiel toast Ingredients list · 2 whole eggs · Turkey bacon · Ezekiel toast In a pot or pan, make your eggs depending on how you like them: sunny side up, poached, scrambled, into an omelette, cooked thru, hard boiled etc. If you want to save on fats you could do one whole egg and the rest egg whites. Keep in mind that the yolk does have important vitamins. In another pan add a little bit of olive oil to pan (remember to utilize portion control) and heat it up bit (medium heat will suffice), always be sure to watch the stove. Next, take the turkey bacon out of package and lay on pan. Cook each side for roughly 3-4 minutes. This will ensure that the turkey bacon is crispy on both sides. For the Ezekiel toast, pop a slice or two in the toaster until it is done. You can top with a little bit of butter and healthy jam if you would like. I love organic raspberry or strawberry jam. The band I usually buy is Full Circle. You could heat up berries instead in the microwave and put on top of toast if you prefer a “jam” that is more fresh!

Burrito bowl Ingredients list · · · · Beef of choice Low sodium black beans Leaf lettuce Fresh corn · · · · Pico de gallo Fresh guacamole Spoonful or two of plain greek Yogurt (2%) This is so easy to make! Make sure to start cooking your beef or vegan beef on stovetop. Once it’s nearly done, I get out my beans of choice (black beans, refried, or calico). I choose something that is lower in sodium and heat them up in the microwave, you could also do this on the stovetop. Once this is done, I put a serving at the bottom of my bowl and toss in fresh leaf lettuce on top. Next comes fresh corn which I steam for about 3-4 minutes in the microwave, but you could also do this on the stovetop as well if you prefer. Then I add in my beef with some pico de gallo, guacamole, and a spoonful or two of plain Greek yogurt (2%). Serve and enjoy! 7. Rice and shrimp with stew Ingredients list · Rice (I do two cups rice, but you can make more or less depending) · Rice cooker (optional) · 1 onion · ½ habanero · 1 tomato · 1 to 2 spoonfuls of tomato paste · Mrs. Dash table blend · Salt If you do not have one, a rice cooker comes in handy when making rice. You don’t have to worry about the rice burning or forgetting to stir it. I got mine from Walmart for like $20. I do 1 part rice to 2 parts water. For example, if you want to make 1 cup rice, you would pour the 1 cup rice and 2 cups water into the rice cooker. I also add seasonings before starting it. I use Mrs. Dash table blend and a little bit of salt. Devine some shrimp (I use frozen), but you could do fresh if you prefer. I buy Cape Covelle shrimp for about $6.99 a bag. I get the medium sized shrimps. You don’t want to do very small ones because they will take forever to take the shells off. Make sure to rinse them properly. Then in a pan, you will heat some oil of your choice. Dice up ½ an onion and 1 habanero (don’t pick a huge one), 1 tomato, and 1-2 spoonfuls of tomato paste. You will need enough oil to actually fry the sauce. Add the shrimp now once the onions are cooked through. Once all the ingredients fry for 20 minutes or so, you can add in water to make the sauce lighter & less thick. Cook until done & then pour on top of rice. Remember this will be more spicy than the typical dish so start with less sauce so it’s not overbearing. From there you can always add more.

Ceviche Ingredients list · · · · ”Cooked” Shrimp 1 diced red onion 2 diced tomatoes Some chopped cilantro (go by your own preference here for quantity) · ¾ cup lime (about 5 limes) and ¾ cup lemon juice (about 3 lemons) for “cooking” shrimp · 1 avocado · 2 jalapeños · Salt This meal is relatively effortless to make if you’re able to dice some veggies and allow time to let the dish marinate. If you want it to be fast, you might actually cook the shrimp on stove instead. If not, allow time to let the shrimp/dish marinate for the best taste. One “trick” that I use is a food processor for things like onion (which can be hard to cut if you cry easily from it). If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a blender for it, but do quick “pulses,” do not hold down the button to blend for a continuous amount of time! Prepare a bowl of ice cold water to be used later. Start by boiling water on stove. Once the water is boiling, add in fresh shrimp for roughly a minute. Next, transfer the shrimp to the bowl of ice cold water. Drain the water once the shrimp are cooled. Slice the shrimp into smaller bite size pieces and place into bowl. “Cook” the shrimp in lemon or lime juice for a couple of hours. If you prefer to have cooked shrimp, you could always sautée the shrimp in a pan on the stove instead (although this would change the taste of the dish). In this case, you would have to squeeze fresh lime juice (about three limes) into the dish. This would be the fastest way to make it. After “cooking” add in onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeños, and salt and cover the bowl to allow marinate in fridge for 1-2 hours. Once done, pull out and add chopped avocado to it and serve with healthy tortilla chips or bean based chips to scoop this up. Remember to use portion control. If you want to lower your carb intake, you could cut up cucumber into thinner round slices and use those as your “chips.” Prepared exclusively for stephanietran2409@gmail.com Transaction: 4482 w w w . b r i a n a c h a n d l e r . c o m H E A LT H Y E AT S 9. Chocolate peanut butter oats (oatmeal + chocolate protein powder + peanut butter) Ingredients list · Rolled oats · Chocolate protein powder of choice · Peanut butter (some people use powdered peanut powder for a low calorie option, but I prefer the real deal & I just use a tablespoon) · Water (only if you want it less creamy) or you could opt for whey isolate instead Rolled oats are amazing because they digest slowly, are a good source of fiber, and even have protein in them! When purchasing the oats, try your best to get the least processed oats. Remember, you can always add toppings or flavorings to them later. I love to mix my oatmeal with my favorite chocolate protein powder and peanut butter. If you have whey isolate, the oats will turn out more of a “runny” consistency. I prefer thicker/creamier oatmeal so I just get flavored whey protein concentrate. When you add in the peanut butter, be mindful that it is higher in calories, so don’t exceed the serving size. One tablespoon should suffice. Mix everything together in a bowl. If you make your oatmeal in the microwave, I wouldn’t recommend using a cover on top because it can easily overflow. Keep an eye on it if you want to avoid a messy microwave. 10. Protein Parfait Ingredients list · · · · Greek yogurt Protein powder (optional) Protein granola Fruit of choice (optional) Grab some Greek yogurt (you can do plain or flavored), fruit of choice (I love any berry), and some protein granola and layer into bowl or cup! Be mindful of the amount of granola you use as this is generally higher in calories. This is a great treat at night because the yogurt has casein in it which is a slow digesting protein and will keep you full at night! If you want to double up on protein, you can do plain Greek yogurt and mix with your favorite tasting protein powder! This will make the yogurt thicker and also add flavor to it. Toss your favorite fruit on top! Prepared exclusively for stephanietran2409@gmail.com Transaction: 4482 w w w . b r i a n a c h a n d l e r . c o m H E A LT H Y E AT S 11. Chicken skewers with vegetable on side & a fresh fruit bowl Ingredients list · Cubed chicken · Chopped colored peppers (red, orange, and green) · ½ habanero · Red onion · Yellow onion · · · · · · Mushrooms Corn on the cob Pepper flakes Olive oil to sauté Butter (optional) Salt (optional) Make sure you chop the meat and vegetables big enough so that they can stay on the skewer when they cook. Prepare to chop up a variety of colored peppers: red, orange, and green. Also chop some red onion. They need to be wide enough to be able to poke onto a skewer & thick enough to not fall off. You will also want to buy chicken breasts and slice them into big cubes. You will alternate putting the pepper, red onion, and the chicken breast onto a skewer. You can either grill this or cook on stovetop. I prefer stovetop because I add mushrooms and seasonings in the pan as well. I usually add chicken rub (store-bought), as well as red pepper flakes for a bit of heat and some salt. After the chicken skewers are cooking for a bit, I will add mushrooms, diced yellow onion, and ½ a habanero into the pan along with a little bit of oil to sauté them. They will taste amazing alongside the chicken skewer. Make sure the meat is cooked fully through/ cooked on all sides. If you would like additional vegetables you can steam some corn. Feel free to add a bit of butter and salt to it. If you love berries, you can toss some strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries into a bowl and you can eat it as “dessert.” 12. Blueberry muffin protein pancakes Ingredients list · · · · 1/4 cup milk 1/3 cup oats 1 egg A little baking powder · 1 scoop blueberry muffin protein powder · Olive oil to spray pan · Add raspberries Mix all of the ingredients and use a little bit of coconut oil (½ a tablespoon is plenty to grease the pan). Top with maple syrup (just a little bit-very calorically dense). If you have no portion control whatsoever with syrup, you can use a sugar free syrup instead, they are very low calorie-but usually have artificial sweeteners in it, so if you are sensitive to those, I would opt for maple syrup instead. Feel free to toss some additional berries on top. Prepared exclusively for stephanietran2409@gmail.com Transaction: 4482 w w w . b r i a n a c h a n d l e r . c o m H E A LT H Y E AT S 13. Lemon pepper tilapia with a side of rice Ingredients list · · · · Tilapia Olive oil spray Lemon pepper seasoning Fresh lemon juice (optional) · Salt · Rice or quinoa · Rice cooker (optional) This is so easy to make! All you have to do is buy fresh or frozen tilapia. I get mine frozen and just run it under warm water to thaw it out a bit and cut the package open. You can pat down the fish with towels. Spray the sheet with some olive oil and set the tilapia directly on top. Next, season both sides with lemon pepper and a little bit of salt! Stick in oven at about 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook until done. The tilapia should be slightly crispy. You can always squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top for added flavor! Serve with a side of rice or quinoa (depending on your preference). 14. Crispy chicken tenders Ingredients list · 1 pound chicken (I bought the · · · · tenders, or you could slice them yourself) 2 tablespoons butter 1 and 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs 1/2 teaspoons paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder · · · · · · 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup oat flour 1 egg beaten Splash of milk Parmesan garlic wing sauce for dipping (I got mine from aldi brand is Burmans) Start by heating your oven to 425 degrees. Melt the butter in a pan and mix in panko breadcrumbs (or your breadcrumbs of choice), cook in pan until the color turns to a golden brown (5-10 mins). Add in seasonings (not the flour). Pour oat flour into separate bowl. Beat egg in another bowl and mix with a splash of milk. Dip each tender in flour first, then egg/milk mixture, then finally in the breaded coating. Do this with each tender & place in glass pan (lightly spray with olive oil). Cook until done (this may depend on your oven). I like to flip them about halfway thru to make sure they are crispy on all sides. For me it was about 45-50 minutes. Don’t pour the wing sauce on them, but rather pour into a mini container. You can slightly dip your tenders into the parmesan garlic wing sauce. Be mindful of your portions. You can also serve them with steamed green beans and mini potatoes on the side.
