Meal 1
- Oatmeal
- Blueberries
- Protein powder
- Cinnamon
- Almond butter
Lakomowski kicks off her morning with an oatmeal bake, which she likened to a dessert.
“Heat it up in the microwave, in and out of the microwave, and then you have this. So, I’ll let it cool down a little bit just because it’s still warm. As you guys know, I like to make kind of a bake. It’s kind of like a dessert.”

- 100 grams of rice
- Green beans
- Salad (Romaine shredded lettuce, cucumbers)
- Black pepper
- Garlic salt
- Special dressing (yellow mustard, Sweet Baby Ray’s No Sugar BBQ sauce)
Hungry once again, Lakomowski moves into her second meal of the day.

Meal 3
- Cream of rice
- Cinnamon
- Whey protein
- Bananas
For her post-workout meal, Lakomowski enjoyed cream of rice with whey protein and bananas.
“On to the third meal which is actually going to be my post-workout meal. But it can also be my pre-workout meal, it just depends on the time of the day and what I want. For instance, I had my second meal which was my chicken and rice and salad, it is still early and for me, I just make this while do my pre-workout drink, sip on my pre-workout drink. I get this ready. I kind of pick at it and I bring it to the gym with me.”
Meal 4
- 3 oz of chicken
- Salad W/ Her Special dressing (Romaine, cucumbers)
- Black pepper
- Salt
- Garlic salt
- Frank’s Hot Sauce
- 3 Rice cakes apple flavored
- Sparkling Ice zero sugar starburst flavored
While at times she opts for a second helping of cream of rice, Lakomowski decided to stick with chicken and salad again.
“For this meal, I use three ounces of chicken. So sometimes I’ll do the cream of rice again, I’ll do cream of rice for a pre-workout meal and post-workout meal but lately I’ve been wanting more dense food. Something that is more filling.”
Meal 5
- Hamburger
- Rice
- Green beans
- Black pepper
- Garlic salt
- Ketchup sugar free
- Yellow mustard
- Frank’s Hot Sauce
Her fifth meal consisted of hamburger meat with rice and vegetables. She appreciates that she can prep this meal hours in advance.
“Typically what I do is I cook my fifth meal which is my hamburger, my rice, my green beans, I mix it in the pan, I put it on low, just kind of heat it up because my meat is already prepped, rice is cooked for the day, as well as my green beans, it’s super easy and convenient for me to put it in the pan and warm it up instead of putting it in the microwave,” says Lakomowski.
Meal 6
Her last meal of the day is greek yogurt with protein powder and blueberries.
- Light and Fit vanilla greek yogurt
- Cinnamon
- Cinnamon oatmeal cookie protein powder
- Blueberries
“This meal is really good I like this. It’s like my little dessert. I use that light and fit vanilla greek yogurt. This is really really good macro-wise. It doesn’t bother my stomach. Sometimes the sugar-free type stuff can bother people’s stomach. I don’t know, it doesn’t bother my stomach at all.”
