Erika is a 39-year-old office administrator and receptionist who quit smoking cold turkey on January 1, 2000 and wishes she could apply the same willpower to her diet and exercise.<\/p>\n

I asked Erika to give me a snapshot of her eating habits and in return I gave her some tips and ideas on how she could modify her diet during That’s Fit.ca’s 30-Day Nutrition Challenge<\/a>. If you missed our other posts and want to follow the challenge here are some resources to get you started:<\/p>\n

Healthy Foodie: What do you normally have for breakfast? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Erika: It varies. I’m big on having egg whites though! <\/p>\n

HF –<\/strong> Breakfast can be a tricky one but I’m fond of recommending smoothies<\/a>. Add some fruits and veggies to a blender with water and you’ve got yourself breakfast. Throw in rice protein, a greens supplement<\/a> like chlorella<\/a> or spirulina<\/a> and some flax seed oil and you have yourself a superfood<\/a> breakfast.<\/p>\n

Eggs are a good breakfast too, as is porridge made of grains like quinoa<\/a> or gluten-free<\/a> oats. One thing about eggs<\/a>, though: Eat the whole thing!. The media has done a great job of convincing us that eggs are bad for us, but they are not. I always recommend eating whole foods and that includes whole eggs! The yolk of the egg contains almost all of the nutrition including the essential fats<\/a>, vitamin A, B12, D, E, K and folate. Don’t be scared of yolks.<\/p>\n

HF: And what about your average lunch?<\/strong><\/p>\n
