I get asked constantly what my meals look like, what my snacks consist of, and what I pack in my fridge. What better way to answer these questions all in one blog post! Thankfully I take pictures of pretty much every food I eat, and log it in a food album on my phone. What can I say, I eat with the eyes first! :)
