For the past seven months I have been working out quite regularly, around 4-5 times a week. During this time I have wondered what I can do food-wise to help out a bit and also to eat healthier. Lately, after talking to my very sport interested man and also a couple of friends, I have realised that I can do some small changes in my everyday eating routine. Instead of eating carbs in the form of pasta, potato or rise for dinner after working out, I have decided to only eat them for lunch if I eat them at all. This has resulted in some creative cooking this week as I needed to cook something tasty without fast carbs. 

A typical day for me:

Breakfast

- A boiled egg, yoghurt/sour creme with muesli 

Lunch

- Left overs from dinner, except pasta/rise/potato added

Fruit before working out

Dinner

- Most things with salad of some kind.

At the moment, I cannot predict the outcome of this new eating and working out routine, however, I have decided to give it about eight weeks before I decide if it is sustainable or not. Stay tuned!
