Robert Yang has been my nutritionist for about seven years – I recently had him on TBF where we talked about gut and hormone health, inflammation, blood sugar and so much more! Whatever I have going on, he’s been able to help me through it. That being said, I trust him and do my best to follow his advice. So, I wanted to share some examples of what I eat in a day for balanced hormones.

Breakfast

Matcha – You guys already know I’m obsessed with my morning matcha! In case you’re wondering, this is my favorite matcha powder.

Protein with 30 minutes of waking up – Per Dr. Yang, my blood sugar in the morning essentially determines my blood sugar in the afternoon, and when I eat sweet in the morning I crave sweets later in the day. So, lately I’ve been trying to eat a high-protein breakfast such as an omelet, scrambled eggs, or my protein packed oatmeal.

Lunch

For lunch, I’ll usually do something like a salad with protein, a veggie rice bowl or something like my salmon hand rolls. I try to incorporate as much protein as I can to help keep me full and satiated throughout the day.

Dinner

Lately, I’ve been obsessed with these turkey meatballs. I’ll usually have them with a salad or grilled veggies. They’re also great over some pasta. I’ve also been loving this honey glazed chicken recipe – if you haven’t tried it yet then you don’t know what you’re missing. Again, finding ways to incorporate more protein into my diet has made such a huge difference for me when it comes to balancing my hormones.

Dessert

I don’t like to restrict myself so I’ll usually always have something sweet, especially at night. From my chewy chocolate granola bar bites to my Snickers dates, I try to opt for healthier alternatives when it comes to dessert.
