Chloe Madeley took to her Instagram on Thursday to share a realistic 'what I eat in a day' post with her followers.
The personal trainer and qualified nutritionist, 38, revealed she has recently switched from eating five main meals a day to three, explaining the change suits her 'new lifestyle better'.
However, Chloe was keen to stress that she doesn't restrict herself or follow a low-carb diet, instead she focuses on consuming healthy fats and whole foods.
Kicking off the post with a disclaimer, she revealed she starts each day with a range of supplements including Symprove, creatine, vitamin D, vitamin C, omega 3 and a vitamin B complex, which she said help support both her physical and mental wellbeing.
She later added that while there is a time and place for supplements, their benefits are 'largely overhyped' compared to eating a nutritious and varied diet.
Sharing a breakdown of her daily routine, Chloe explained that every morning begins with a cup of coffee for energy, a bowl of fruit for fibre and nutrients, and a healthy protein bar.
After a workout at her gym, she opts for either a whey protein smoothie, chicken with grains and vegetables, or an egg and veggie omelette.
For dinner, Chloe revealed that she and her daughter sit down together at around 6pm each evening, describing it as her highest-calorie meal of the day, and the most relaxed when it comes to nutrition.
If she's cooking, Chloe said she will often make a large pasta dish such as spaghetti bolognese or a creamy chicken and broccoli tuna pasta with sweetcorn and spinach.
However, she also enjoys eating out, admitting she will happily share a pizza or indulge in pub classics like chicken, chips, green vegetables and gravy.
She told followers that dinner usually falls somewhere between 600 and 800 calories.
Alongside the post, Chloe shared snaps of her healthy-looking meals, as well as another update detailing her calorie and protein intake.
In another post, she wrote: 'Evening: This usually sees me in a range of between 1400-1600kcals and 70-90g protein.
'As both a dietary tracker AND a coach, this is why "range targets" are realistic and enjoyable; You're never going to hit bang on X calories every day, and you don't need to.
She added that for her height of 5ft 6in and weight of around 55kg, a calorie deficit of 1,400–1,600kcals works best for her, though she aims for at least 100g of protein daily.
As for her pre-bed snack, Chloe revealed she will opt for leftovers, Greek yoghurt or a protein bar to help hit her calorie or protein goals.
Wrapping up the post, she shared several 'take-home' messages, telling followers: 'There is a daily structure to my diet. However, within that structure there are various options.
She continued: 'There is always wiggle room left over. Eating out is something I do daily at the gym, and weekly in terms of more "indulgent" meals. Range targets are both realistic and effective.
'If you don't have a loose plan and / or structure, flexible dieting won't work.'
Alongside the series of photos, she captioned the post: 'I get asked this every time I do a Q&A and often over DMs. PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMERS!
'Just because I eat this, doesn’t mean you need to. These numbers are also more in the context of a deficit, which for me at 5.6ft and 60kg is on the lower end.
'YOUR deficit will be dependant on YOUR total mass, for many women, that’s in a 2000kcals range. For others, it’s in a 1500kcals range. It’s V dependant on YOUR weight and activity levels.
'There is daily flexibility in my diet, I never over restrict and im not low carb.
'I now eat 3x daily, it used to be 5x daily. This suits my new lifestyle better. Old me would have struggled with this , and she never would have eaten pizza in a deficit. Times change.
'There are many ways to skin a cat, pick the way that works for YOUR caloric needs AND your lifestyle. ♥️'
