Food Diary June 8

CONTRIBUTED BY JULIE TRIPSON

Here’s a typical day for me…I try to eat 5 times a day with a “meal” of a protein, fat and carb (only veggies and fruits though!). Eating all of these together helps to keep my body’s hormone levels even and allows me to get the most out of each food…or so I read! That being said I’m about to go on a crazy food binge tonight at Barbuzzo!
