Happy Valentine’s Day!
Tonight, I’m enjoying a dinner out, as many of you are going to do as well.
When I prep for a meal out, I save my calories while prioritizing protein and fiber during the day. I usually consume things like protein bars, Greek yogurt, turkey chili, lean meats, and vegetables. Given my size, I consume roughly 1200 calories leading up to a meal out so I know I have calories in the bank.
You might say, “Jake, it’s one night out. Why are you tracking? Just enjoy yourself.” The reality is, I’m always looking at the bigger picture. This one night out is in a busy week for me. Between the Super Bowl, Valentine’s Day, family coming into town, and my birthday – there’s a lot going on. I know these occasions are special, and we will be dining out, so I choose to play defense with my diet so I can fit these occasions in with my health and fitness goals.
