Looking for practical tips on eating healthy in the real world? We’ve gathered insights from three popular Instagram influencers who shared what they typically eat in a day to maintain their active lifestyles and stay in great shape.
Let’s dive into the food habits of these Instagram stars, starting with Hannah Barrett, known as Yoga Girl London. Hannah, a mother of two, uses Instagram to share the benefits of yoga, often featuring her adorable kids and dog in the process. After a challenging time in finance and coping with post-natal depression, Hannah turned to yoga, leading to a positive transformation in her life. She’s now an eBook author with a toned physique that made us curious about her diet.
Hannah’s Daily Eating Plan:
– Breakfast (7:30am): Buckwheat pancakes
– Lunch (12pm): Poached eggs with boiled sweet potato
– Snack (3pm): An apple or pear
– Dinner (7pm): Veggie stir fry with cashew nuts
– Snack (8:30pm): Dark chocolate
Hannah’s approach to food is all about keeping it simple, avoiding overly processed foods, and not spending hours in the kitchen. She enjoys making meals herself with fresh ingredients and emphasizes not restricting herself too much. For example, she’s a fan of dim sum and indulges in it weekly without feeling guilty. Breakfast for Hannah is a must-have and typically happens at the same time daily. Her go-to pancakes are easy to prep in bulk and loved by her kids.
Next, we have Laura Hoggins, or @laurabiceps on Instagram. Laura is a personal trainer and founder of the London fitness community, Lifted. She discovered happiness in her lifestyle through sustainable changes and the benefits of weightlifting, and she’s focused on a diet that fuels her busy schedule.
Laura’s Daily Eating Plan:
– Breakfast (5am): Oats with nut butter and banana
– Lunch (1pm): Sweet potato and feta frittata
– Snack (3pm): A banana
– Dinner (7pm): Poached or grilled cod with vegetables and new potatoes
– Snack (9pm): Carrot sticks and hummus
Laura needs meals that support her energy demands and help with muscle repair. She relies heavily on eggs for protein and prepares most of her meals in advance to ensure she eats enough throughout the day. Laura is not a fan of labeling foods as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ and believes in enjoying food while staying active.
Finally, we have Rowan Cheshire, a British freestyle skier and personal trainer. She balances her athletic career with smart eating that supports her training routine.
Rowan’s Daily Eating Plan:
– Breakfast (7:30am): Omelette with poached salmon
– Lunch (12pm): Chicken breast with vegetables and rice
– Snack (3pm): A cup of English breakfast tea with biscuits
– Dinner (7pm): Veggie stir fry with quinoa
For Rowan, nutrition is key for energy and recovery. She values a balanced diet that includes protein, carbs, and fats, always keeping portion sizes sensible and avoiding unnecessary restrictions. Her go-to snacks include fruit, and she enjoys carrot sticks with hummus while being mindful of her energy needs related to her activity levels.
Each of these influencers emphasizes the importance of balanced eating and listening to your body’s needs without imposing harsh restrictions. This approach not only supports a healthy lifestyle but also makes it enjoyable and sustainable.
