After a few months of not writing about my favorite meals – mostly because during summer I was eating pretty much the same things -I ’m back with an update on my current nutrition!
Progress has been pretty slow lately, mainly because I’ve found myself snacking a lot, especially after dinner. Those extra calories definitely don’t help my progress… but at least I’m not sliding backwards.

Also, read what I ate in June.
Breakfast/Post workout
I’m so late to the overnight-oats movement, but I’m finally here ahahah.
I started making them to increase my fiber intake (I add chia seeds too), and then I had the idea to throw in a scoop of whey for extra protein. So now it’s fiber + protein, and so delicious. This has been my go-to breakfast for the past few weeks.
I’ve also been making protein crêpes (yes, always with whey) and they are a total game changer because I can save calories on bread and swap them for more protein instead.
And of course, yogurt with berries and protein granola/puffs… my evergreen classic.

Lunch
A small change I’ve been focusing on lately is increasing my fiber intake, and I’ve also been trying to add more legumes to my diet. That’s why I’ve started including them several times per week, especially black beans and lentils, and whenever possible, I choose lentil-protein pasta instead of regular pasta.
I’ve also been adding soups to my routine as a way to stay full and get some extra warmth. My favorites are the tomato, chicken, and veggie soups from Albert Heijn, super comforting and not very high in calories.
And sometimes I just grab an XXL Fit Meal. They’re so convenient, and I always keep a few in the freezer for busy days and office days.
High Protein Lean Chicken Lasagna
Beef and Bean
Macros: Approx. 465 calories | 32 carbs | 9 g fat | 59 g protein (29%-18%-53%)
Dinner
One dish I created this autumn is protein gnocchi – and I’m so proud of it. Gnocchi is usually a high-carb recipe, but with my twist it’s actually protein-packed instead.
I’m still eating mostly chicken and broccoli, but I’m trying to diversify my carbs as much as possible.
High Protein Gnocchi
High Protein Carbonara
Macros: Approx. 418 calories | 42 carbs | 9 g fat | 43 g protein (40%-18%-42%)
Snacks
I’ve been snacking a lot lately, but I try to keep things balanced. My go-to options are still yogurt with protein granola/protein puffies and berries, or protein crackers topped with cottage cheese and fruit – quick, filling, and super satisfying.
I also love having a cold protein shake in the afternoon, especially when I’m still behind on my protein for the day.
