What I Ate on the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan: Week 7
After an amazing long weekend filled with wedding festivities and champagne, I had to get myself back on track this week and start eating what’s on the Tone It Up nutrition plan. There are only a couple more weeks of this Tone It Up Bikini Series and I want to finish strong! Plus, Alex and I have a beach trip coming up, so there’s that. So when we got back in town, I walked to the grocery store to grab a few healthy essentials to carry me through.
Here’s what yesterday’s meals looked like on the Tone It Up nutrition plan! I’m a vegetarian so I follow the vegetarian version of their meal plan, but it’s pretty similar to the regular plan.
I started breakfast off with a giant green smoothie. As usual, this was 1 frozen banana, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp peanut butter, ½ scoop of vanilla protein powder, a handful of spinach and a handful of ice. Perfection. I also ate a few blackberries on the side.
The morning went by quickly so I just munched on an apple while working.
I couldn’t wait to eat lunch because I had leftovers from dinner the night before. I’d been craving this white bean & chickpea chili. It’s seriously so good, I don’t even care if it’s hot out and I’m eating soup. It’s also super filling so that helps.
When I got hungry in the afternoon, I snacked on a protein bar. I love that the Tone It Up nutrition plan recommends so many snacks! I feel like I’m eating all day!
Have you tried these Rx bars? they’re SO good! Plus they’re full of real ingredients. I’ve tried to cut out a lot of “fake food” and it can be hard to find a good snack bar option but I’m liking these. I also love Larabars!
For dinner, we roasted up some butternut squash, asparagus, and chickpeas. I use this recipe for spicy roasted chickpeas and this recipe for the roasted butternut squash. Honestly, I could eat this every night.
Later on, we watched an episode of Parenthood and I snacked on a few blackberries. These were so sweet and delicious. I’m pretty sure I could eat an entire package of these every single day.Â

If you’re thinking about joining Tone It Up but you’re on the fence, I totally get it. The meal plan isn’t cheap! But I joined way back in 2012 and I’ve really enjoyed it. (Also, I’m not any sort of affiliate. I’ve just done Tone It Up it for a long time!) Here’s the link to check out a free Tone It Up Nutrition Plan sample, which might help you decide!

Oh my gosh, it has been forever since I have had gummy bears.. and they sound SO good!!
Love Greek food! There’s a place near me that we go to pretty often and I’m always so content after! Delish. Also, gummy bears <33
Getting back on track after a nice weekend is always difficult. I’m glad you were able to get back and everything looks good. You always take such fabulous photos.
Thanks for sharing your WIAW eats- I love WIAW posts and these linkups!
Hooray for balance. Perfection is overrated 🙂 But those gummy bears – definitely underrated!
Do you have a recipe for your white bean and chickpea chili? Sounds yummy!!!
Your smoothie and your soup look so delicious! And your photos are lovely.
I love Parenthood, but now I have seen every episode. Not happy about that. I probably will start at the beginning again some day… 🙂
Seriously envious of your candy cart. I may need to invest in one…for a home office 😉
Oh yum! I love Greek food, that place looks amazing!
I hate when things just sneak into my belly or on my plate ; )
