The Pumpkin Spice Latte Craze!

Hi everyone!

Pumpkin Spice Lattes are all the rage these days, but they are full of calories and sugar!! I have made my own pumpkin pie spice that can be added to coffee, protein shakes, oats, in cakes, whatever you want!! This recipe makes enough for a small tin, each serving in coffee or oats is less than 1 Tsp, so this should last you the season!

Chicken Fried Rice

Hi everyone!!

Today's recipe is for Chicken Fried Rice (the macro friendly version)! This is such a simple recipe, especially if you already have some chicken and rice cooked (or even the bags of microwave rice are perfect)! Of course all ingredients and amounts can be adjusted to suit your macro needs so you can use more/less rice, chicken, eggs, egg whites or even switch up the veggies! 

Simple Shredded Chicken

Hi Everyone!

Today I am back with a super simple recipe for shredded chicken which can be put together in less than 10 minutes! This is a great one for meal preppers out there as it keeps in the fridge for a few days and can be added to so many different dishes throughout the week! It is great cooked up with peppers and onions for a quick fajita filling, or added to soups, in sandwiches, or with rice and veg.

Will Lifting Weights & Drinking Protein Shakes Make Me Bulky??

Hi everyone!

This is a blog post I have been meaning to write for a while now as I still see so many girls just pounding the pavements and running on treadmills and lifting no weights or doing any kind of resistance work. I am here to dispel the myth that lifting weights makes girls bulky. First of all if you think you're going to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger after one session (or even 100 sessions) you are very mistaken. It took Arnie years to build up that kind of muscle and also he is of the male species which means he has a much higher percentage of lean muscle mass than females, due to the higher amount of testosterone males produce. It is significantly harder for females to gain muscle mass, so you really shouldn't be concerned you're going to look like Arnie any time soon. This quote below comes to mind. 

Creamy Mediterranean Pasta with Chicken

Hi everyone!

I made this super simple (and Macro Friendly) pasta dish for my family last night for dinner and it went down an absolute treat so I thought I would share the recipe with you. I haven't given specific amounts for the ingredients because it can be adapted to suit your own macros with as much chicken, veg and pasta as needed. You can also use whatever veg you want, this is just what I used. For my portion which used 75g high protein pasta, 125g cooked chicken and 50g sauce it came to 521 calories 52C/9F/61P.

Make Your Own Almond Butter on the Cheap

Hi Everyone!

I am back with a recipe for you this time. I have made my own almond butter before and it's just so delicious - this time I tried out two different variations by just adding one ingredient to each batch. Simples. I made a vanilla almond butter and a white chocolate almond butter! 

Almond butter can be quite pricey to buy, ranging from €4-5 per jar, so if you're like me and go through a lot of nut butter, it can get very expensive! I picked up a few 200g bags of raw almonds from Lidl for under €2 each and the extra ingredients I used were less than €1 each so each 180g jar works out at under €3.

I'm BACK and with Tips for IIFYM!

Hi everyone!!

It has been a while (a very long while) since I wrote a blog post. My poor old blog got a bit neglected when I started my YouTube channel. I have so many ideas for videos but in reality I am not going to have time to film them all, as it takes a long time to film, edit and upload a video, so I just thought blogging would be a good way of getting more content out to you guys on a more regular basis. I will still be filming my YouTube videos; I'm aiming for one video per week!! 

So for my first post back I thought I would delve into the world of IIFYM and give you some of my tips for how to follow it especially if you are new to it!! 

Get That Booty!!!

Hey guys! 

Today’s video is my leg workout and how to get that perfect booty! Ladies you have to lift heavy to get the booty, doing hundreds of squats with no weight really isn’t going to get you very far. You also need to train other parts of your legs such as quads and hamstrings to enhance your booty! Follow me on Instagram  as I post daily workouts!

IIFYM Grocery Haul - New YouTube Video

Hey guys!

How to make Egg White Oats - YouTube Video

Hey guys, 

I have posted a new video on how to make my egg white oats! This is a super quick and easy breakfast that can even be made in the office!! 

How to Calculate and Track your Macros - New YouTube Video

Hey everyone!!

I have just posted a new video on how to calculate and track your macros! This is the method I have used to get the results I have gotten. I eat about 80% clean foods and then that leaves room for a few 'fun foods' as I like to call them. A lot of people have misconceptions about IIFYM (If It Fits Your Macros) and think all they will be eating is chocolate, ice cream and poptarts! Well let me tell you, you are not going to hit your protein goals by just eating that, I eat mostly lean meats, veggies and complex carbs for each meal. This method also allows you to be more flexible and go out to eat or work in a treat that you want. 

If you have any questions at all about it, leave me a comment and I'll get back to you. 

Make sure you LIKE, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE to my channel to see more videos!

Balancing Training and Alcohol and new squat PR - YouTube video

Hey everyone!!

In today's YoutTube video I talk about how I balance going out with friends, having a few drinks and still training the next day. I'm of the opinion that life is all about balance, and you have to find the right balance for you to reach your goals.

I also got a new squat PR so go on have a gander!

Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to my channel, give the video a thumbs up and comment with any video suggestions you guys have that you want to see from me!

New YouTube Channel - Georgia's Fit Life

Hey everyone!!

I've started a new Fitness YouTube channel called Georgia's Fit Life to document my results from weight lifting and eating healthy and also to share some of what I have learned with others. I will be doing videos about my daily life, gym routine, what I eat, and some other video topics!

Check out my first video here!

This may sound heavy, but...

In the past year or so, I have 

got very into health and fitness. Going to the gym for me used to be a 'chore', but a chore I was willing to do for my health. However, in the last couple of months I have found a serious love for the gym and weight lifting. I now go six days a week - I would go everyday, but I force myself to take a rest day, because our bodies need time to recover and repair in preparation for the week of training ahead. You may ask why I’m training so often or what I’m training for... well - I’m training for myself, for life and to be the best person I can be. Every time I go into the gym I want to be better than I was the last time I was there, whether it be lifting heavier weights or doing more reps than I did the last time. The only person I am in competition with is myself; I don’t see the need to compete with others. I’m never going to be someone else; I am just going to be a better version of myself. My aim in life is to be a better person than I was yesterday.

UPDATED Protein Pancakes with Blueberries

I posted a protein pancake recipe last August but I am always playing around with it and tweaking it and I think I have found the absolute PERFECT recipe now. 

I love making these at the weekend and they are super filling and come in at under 300 calories for the entire recipe! You can make so many different varieties and flavours depending on what protein powder you use. The toppings are also endless, so use your imagination and tag me on Instagram @georgiaeatsclean with your creations!
