Lindsay Messina’s daily food schedule:
“Eating clean is in my lifestyle as much as brushing my teeth and taking a shower…you just do it,” says Lindsay, who tells us she gives herself one cheat day a week to enjoy with family and friends. “I love pasta!”
Meal 1
Oatmeal, berries, flaxseed, two egg whites, black coffee and 8 oz of water.
Meal 2
Protein shake with skim milk and one tablespoon of all-natural peanut butter “for added flavor!” says Lindsay.
Meal 3
Salad with grilled chicken or turkey, avocado, chickpeas and asparagus, a dash of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Meal 4
Heaping handful of almonds or her favorite fruits.
Meal 5
Lean steak, chicken, or fish on a bed of spinach with broccoli and string beans. “Just protein and veggies for dinner,” says this two-time Ms. Bikini Atlantic Champion, who plans her meals a week in advance to help balance her lean protein with complex carbs.
Meal 6
Protein shake with filtered water only.
