I hate when people think that a fitness model diet has to be boring and super restrictive! While yes, it is important to eat healthy and to stay in the best possible shape year round, I LOVE food!  I firmly believe you can be in amazing shape, follow a fairly regimented fitness model diet, but also that you can have flexibility eating and that it is possible to embrace new foods.  This is all part of finding balance for a healthy lifestyle.  

When I am not actively preparing for a photo shoot, I maintain a healthy overall eating plan (more or less a year round fitness model diet) that gives my body the nutrients it needs to function at its best.  I keep my calories in the 1700-2200 range on any given day and I do not stress about ‘being perfect’.  One of the most frequent questions I am asked is… what do you really eat?  Well, here is what I had yesterday.  My goal is to enjoy my food, listen to my body and to make sure I have the energy to take on any task that the day may bring.
