What I Eat In a Day While Breastfeeding!

What's up baby, it's Rachel, it is currently 3 o'clock in the morning and I'm editing with baby Matthew here. Say hi Matt. Okay, that's his way of saying hi. I realized I didn't do an intro so here's me letting you all know that for two days I documented what I ate for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I wanted to show you guys what I eat in a day while breastfeeding and although everyday is not the same, if you guys like it I could do another one a part two so let me know what you think. I'd love to hear what you love to eat and so forth and so on. Until next time, thanks so much for watching. Now I have to be honest, I am not the biggest breakfast person on the planet, I do not care for breakfast. Sometimes I'll skip it and go straight to lunch and so that's what I did today. I decided to warm up my pasteles, it's pretty much like a Puerto Rican tamale made from banana and there's meat inside. I know it looks a little funky but it is oh so good. I am chugging it down with some sparkling water mixed with lemonade and then I start to make my mother's milk tea, which I typically drink once a day, it's very good and it helps your milk supply so I highly recommend you give it a try. It's about $4 at Walmart. For dinner, I ended up having a cheeseburger, which it wasn't the healthiest, especially when I'm trying to eat good, but it was something quick and I got the kids' McDonald's so I got myself some McDonald's. Day two is here and I wanted to start off the day with some coffee. Now I usually only drink decaf because I am breastfeeding and it's not good to drink caffeine when you are breastfeeding. So what I decided to do was make a small little cup of coffee just so I could have that taste in my mouth, give myself a little boost of energy. I know it's an addiction, right? And then I went straight into cooking lunch. For lunch, I decided to make some rice with some olives and I also decided to cook it with some tilapia. Like I said, I'm trying to eat a little better so I thought tilapia was the best way to go. I decided to cook it with this really delicious Thai curry sauce. It just gave it a little boost of flavor. So I cooked the meat down, I let it like fry up a little bit, get a little crispy and then I added the sauce in there. Now I've been trying to be healthier so what I did was I ordered this Motifational Water Drinking Mug from Amazon. It wasn't too bad of a price, it was like $12 and I love it. So I tried to drink it once a day but I didn't drink it for day one. Anywho, I like to have ice cold water so I just added some ice into the bottle and then I filled it up, I put it in the fridge so that it could get as cold as possible. In the meantime, I drink my sparkling water and lemonade mixture and then throughout the day I'll drink the water. So now it is time for my lunch. Like I said, we have rice mixed with some olives and then I ate it with the Thai curry tilapia and it was very, very delicious and a super simple meal. I highly recommend a rice cooker if you don't already have one just to make your life a little easier, you know? As a snack, I decided to treat myself to Starbucks. So something that I'm addicted to from Starbucks in particular is the pink treat. I've never loved it as much as I do right now. It's a refreshing drink and I'm obsessed with it. So that's what I got as my snack and when I got home, I went straight to cooking dinner and for dinner, I wanted to do fish again because like I said, I'm trying to eat better. So I decided to go for salmon. I love salmon and I feel like salmon, in my case, is best cooked in the air fryer. I just love that crispy taste that the air fryer gives it. So there's this recipe that I got from Pinterest. So I kind of made my own little sweet sauce and it came out really good. So I just seasoned the salmon as I normally would. I put olive oil on it so that it doesn't get too dry in the air fryer. Added my seasoning. I put sugar on the salmon and a little bit of soy sauce, mixed that together and it gave it like a nice little honey taste. I highly, highly recommend. It was very, very delicious. I ate it with my leftover rice and I cooked some green beans and I was good to go. Now, if you've been watching my vlogs, you know that just about every night I eat a bag of popcorn. It's really bad because I do add butter but it's so good and it's because I have a lot of movie nights in my household. So that was the end of my day two. I'm so happy you enjoyed this video.
