Today after attending strength training class with my mum 💪✨ I had a simple high-protein lunch—canned sardines with pressure-cooked chickpeas. Dessert was plain sugar-free yogurt with soaked chia seeds.
I actually wasn’t very hungry because my breakfast was already very filling and satisfying.
Breakfast was quite a feast 😋
2 large soft-boiled eggs 🥚, walnuts, roasted mixed beans, decaf coffee with milk + ground chia seeds ☕, fruits 🍎, boiled chickpeas… and the star of the morning—
a super low-carb, super yummy pandan coconut mug cake made by mum 💚
It’s basically a microwave mug cake made with coconut flour, egg, coconut milk, fresh pandan juice, and a touch of gula melaka syrup. Soft, fragrant, and guilt-free comfort food.
Sardines may be simple, but they are a powerhouse food:
🐟 High-quality protein
🐟 Rich in omega-3 fatty acids for heart and brain health
🐟 Packed with calcium (especially when you eat the soft bones)
🐟 Low in mercury compared to larger fish
🐟 Very affordable and convenient
And canned sardines aren’t unhealthy like some people assume—in fact, canning preserves most of the nutrients, and it’s a safe, practical way to enjoy fish without added fuss.
👉 My high-protein breakfast + lunch kept me full all the way until dinner
No cravings. No snacking. Just steady energy.
Food really is fuel—and when you get it right, your body quietly thanks you 💛
