Okay I get asked this ALL the time 😅 “Sneji what do you guys actually eat?” so instead of over explaining it I’m just going to show you a real day of eating for me and my mom, and together we’ve lost over 90 lbs without restricting food groups or cutting anything out. The truth is, what I eat looks completely different from what my mom eats because there is no one size fits all, I’m over here lowkey obsessed with hitting my fiber goals 🌿 while she has her own rhythm and preferences, and yet it worked for both of us, this is not a diet or a meal plan, it’s just two women figuring it out, eating real food, and finally feeling good in their bodies 🫶

Our Weight Loss Journey

If you’ve been following along, you might already know that this past two years have been a huge one for both of us on the wellness front 💪. I started my own journey in January 2024 after years of eating what I thought was “healthy” and still not seeing the scale move 😩. I have successfully lost 30 lbs since then.

I initially teamed up with an amazing mentor, committed to protein and fiber-packed meals, cut out mindless snacking, and focused on walking and hydration. The results have been life-changing.

And my mom has lost 60 pounds in one year 🤯 eating the exact simple, clean way you’ll see in this post. If you want the full breakdown of everything that’s worked for us, head to our Weight Loss Recipes guide 💖.

What I Eat in a Day (Sneji’s Meals)☀️

1. Breakfast 🥞

Breakfast is the meal I protect with my whole heart 😂. I am not the type to skip it, and I am DEFINITELY not the type to eat something unsatisfying. My current obsession is my High Protein Pudding. It tastes like shortbread cheesecake, packs over 40 grams of protein, is under 300 calories, and comes together with just 4 ingredients in 5 minutes. You would NEVER guess there’s cottage cheese in it 👀.

2. Lunch 🥗

Lunch for me is usually something fresh, filling, and quick to pull together. My go-to right now is my Greek Salad Jar or my Weight Loss Cabbage Soup and I switch it up depending on what I’m in the mood for. If Im having the Salad Jar, sometimes I toss in chickpeas 🌱, other times I add grilled chicken 💪. The jar format is genius for meal prep because you have a little compartment for the dressing so nothing gets soggy. Layer it up the night before and lunch is basically zero effort 🙌.

3. Dinner 🌮

Dinner is where I keep things fun and flavor-forward 🔥. My current hyper fixation meal is my Viral Homemade Doner Kebab—juicy, incredibly seasoned meat that honestly tastes like it came straight from a street corner in Bulgaria 🇧🇬. I serve it alongside my Maroulosalata (Greek Lettuce Salad)—a refreshing, crisp, herby Greek lettuce salad that pairs with pretty much everything. I typically like to eat what I make for my site, so dinner is always changing and always delicious!

4. Snacks 🍓

If I snack at all, it’s a container of berries or a piece of dark chocolate (hello luteal phase)🍓. They’re simple, sweet, and honestly all I need before dinner. Otherwise? Just lots of water 💦. When your meals are this satisfying and high in protein, you don’t feel the urge to graze 🙌.

What My Mom Eats in a Day

And then there’s my mom, a whole legend who has lost 60 pounds in one year 🤯. I’ll let her results speak for themselves 😤.

1. Breakfast ☀️

My mom usually starts her morning with protein pancakes (or eggo waffles LMFAO 🤣). Yes, this woman is out here being disciplined and proportionate. She pairs it with her non-negotiable: a black coffee with sugar ☕. Don’t even think about taking that coffee away from her. It is simply part of who she is.

2. Lunch 🥗

Lunch for my mom is a big Red Cabbage Slaw with Healthy Chicken Tenders (or any grilled meat that she can get her hand on). The crunch of the slaw combined with the crispy tenders is such a satisfying combo. She doesn’t overthink it. When you find something that works, you stick with it 🙌.

3. Dinner 🌿

Dinner varies for my mom, but it usually looks like a green salad or the cabbage slaw paired with grilled chicken or another lean protein. It’s fresh, light, and leaves her feeling great rather than heavy.

4. Snacks 🍓

If she feels like it, a container of fresh berries 🍓 just like me. Lately, she’s been on a tangerine kick or cherries when in season. The fruit will depend on the season.

What We Have in Common 💚

Even though our days look a little different, there are a few things that are absolutely non-negotiable for both of us:

• Protein and fibre every meal: Whether it’s cottage cheese pudding, slaw, grilled chicken, or crispy tenders, protein and fibre 💪 are always the priority.
• Fresh, whole ingredients: Nothing processed and almost always nothing complicated.
• LOTS of water 💧: Hydration is the key, always. Water is the only thing I drink.
• Berries as our snack of choice 🍓: They’re sweet, packed with fibre, and satisfying.
• No overthinking it: This is real life, not a photoshoot 😂.
• Bonus for me: 12,000-16,000 steps daily.
