Morning Protein Smoothie
Dils starts her day with a morning protein smoothie. "Packed with healthy carbs, fats, and protein. This shake serves as my breakfast and keeps me super full and satisfied. Definitely a go-to breaky for me, especially now that the weather is getting warmer!" she writes in an Instagram post.

Coffee
Next up, an almond piccolo coffee. "I always have my coffee after I've eaten breakfast now. I've noticed this helps manage my anxiety and doesn't cause as many gut issues as when I was having coffee on an empty stomach. This is totally personalized, though. If you have PCOS – it's best to work out a coffee routine that suits you! Some can still feel amazing when having coffee on an empty stomach, and some may want to cut out caffeine altogether! Just need to find what works for you," she said.
Lunch
For lunch she makes a salad. It consists of 80 grams lettuce, 134 grams home cooked pulled beef, 30 grams red onion, 25 grams feta, 1 tsp olive oil, and 185 grams spud life potatoes. The meal comes in at 579 calories, 34.2 carbs, 24.3 grams fat, and 55.1 grams protein.
