Originally on Mail Online as What Fitness Influencers really eat
Personal Trainer, Vicky Hadley opened up her fridge to reveal it contains, from top shelf to bottom shelf: tuna, black beans, yoghurt, coconut oil, tofu, houmous, almond butter, eggs, bananas, carrots, butternut squash, broccoli, cucumbers, carrots, chicken breast, spinach, oat milk and supplements.
The online fitness coach, on Instagram, said: ‘I’m a very flexible dieter. This means I track macronutrients (carbs, fats, and proteins) which works extremely well for me.
‘I eat a pretty healthy diet using proteins such as beans, tofu, fish, chicken and eggs. I particularly love potato and butternut squash as my carbohydrates , as it’s filling without causing the bloating that some grains do.
‘I use fruits and vegetables with a vegan protein powder and superfoods to make protein smoothies. My current favourite is a chocolate protein powder blended with a dairy free milk, such as almond milk, and spinach with frozen banana and frozen berries. It’s so delicious and you don’t even taste the greenery.
‘I don’t really have cheat meals. For me personally, as I follow a flexible diet, I choose foods I love every day and turn them into ‘naughty foods’. So, if I was craving ice cream I’d freeze some bananas and blend them up with chocolate protein powder and end up with a healthier chocolate ice cream – trust me it’s amazing.’
