Honestly? My day is really simple, and I eat a lot of the same things again and again to make calorie counting as easy as possible.
Breakfast is a protein shake with spinach, a banana, peanut butter, milk, and protein powder (~405 calories).
Lunch is a turkey and cheese tortilla wrap (~255 calories) or a salad (~200 calories), plus an apple (~100 calories) for a snack.
And dinner is something quick and delicious (~450 calories), plus a Greek yogurt with honey and cinnamon (~150 calories) for dessert.

Oh my gosh, you are SO organized! Planning your meals. I am working on making this a part of my routine (challenging for me!)
Well, as I mentioned, I actually make my kids plan the meals, LOL!
Hi Pahla, loved this video. I’m 45 and have been following you for the past 3-4 years. I have learned so much from you recently. I love exercising and really need to focus more on my calories/eating. Thank you for all the good info. At least I will have this knowledge when I do go through menopause.😊💪
I am half way through my 31 day challenge and I do exactly the same as you. I know what I am having to eat for my main meals at the beginning of the week and the rest is usually the same every day. The same breakfast (cereal) lunch is rice and a banana and protein bar through the day. Thank you for all you do for us 🙏😁
Thank you so much Pahla! This meal plan is absolutely something that I can change about my food and calorie intake. There’s sooo much out there and most of which is confusing.
I already feel great with your workouts and had wondered about how to make a healthy switch to my meal plans. You’re the best! Big Internet hugs! 🤗
❤️ from Arizona!
I’m really glad this was helpful!
Love you- you’re fun and supportive and I believe you appeal to all ages! Keep up all the good work, thanks.
Hey Pahla, I appreciate this peek into your eating habits routine video. Thanks for keeping things simple, and approachable! I’ve been super busy moving that I haven’t been able to workout with you. I can’t wait to get started again!
Thank you for sharing your routine. I’ve listened to your 5 part series on weight loss and often wondered what you looked like before your weight loss journey. I appreciate your courage to share your pics. I thought i was the only one who ate tuna on a salad! I also love yogurt with connamon and honey! I usually eat oatmeal with blueberries and cinnamon for breakfast, salad for lunch, sometimes I’ll have a grapefruit or peanut butter energy bites as an afternoon snack and a hearty dinner. I have a vague idea what will be for dinner, but it’s not concrete. I think I will try writing it down. P.S. your shirt is super cute!
Pahla, I found you in 2018 when I had plantar fasciitis and started doing your seated workouts. I tell everyone about you especially now that we have to exercise at home. I have to commit to tracking calories to loose the 10 lbs I want to and I am so resisting that. Seeing your meals gave me inspiration that I can do this. Thank you!
Of course you can do this!! It took me a long time to get “mentally prepared” for weight loss, but then once my head was in the right place, it all came together. It will for you, too. <3
Hi Pahla! I love your videos, love your peppiness and how ‘real’ you are-thank you for letting us peek into your eating style for weight loss! I get hung up on the calorie counting, it’s such a hassle to measure everything I’m planning to eat. How did you get started with measuring and keeping track of calories? Thank you!
Pahla this video came at the perfect time for me! Thank you for showing real food that I can actually prepare 😆 I’m so glad I found your channel!🎉
I just found your videos. You keep it real. Very inspiring. I don’t feel overwhelmed at the thought of eating properly and managing calories. Just starting to take this on … I appreciate you. Thank you, PB. 😊
Pahla, thank you so very much for all your recipes and your tips on eating. I will let you know what I come up with for calories, etc. as I begin to look at the things you suggested. Just started building my plan. I love your attitude. I love your positive push for nutrition. I love everything you are doing. You are encouraging. I need that. Thank you so much.

I love the recipe ideas. I’m a foodie so simplifying dinner is hard for me (mentally) but your method makes total sense for my busy life. I am taking an evening learning course and had to simplify weeknights. Theses are terrific, simple, delicious and I can teach my teens and hubby to make them so they can make dinner a few times a week too. I am also exercising moderately every day as you suggest and am counting calories to get to my favorite weight: I also plan ahead and assign my family their day to cook each. So far, I feel relieved knowing we don’t have to go to fast food or frozen foods and can fere up my time for my goals. I love your workouts too because they are doable and fast, which I do before work. Thanks for being so real and inspirational!
I really appreciate everything you share.
My 54 yr old menopausal tummy just creeps up. I’m not overweight but managing that 5-7 belly pounds feels like a job.
I love your workouts and they keep me healthy.
Oh that belly battle. 😊
I like your menu
I cant get rid of my tummy no matter what i do
Omg! Me too! Used to be 5’8” 😂. I kinda laugh at this little weird belly that just formed the last two years! I think I can tell the lack of collagen makes that fat feel…. Yuckier? Flabbier?
Hi Pahla, love the name btw 😊. I just started your 5-O program and did the first workout and I’m super happy to have FINALLY found someone who is specifically speaking to menopausal women. My family and I started a weight loss challenge at the beginning of the year and I totally stressed because we had a weekly weigh in and the scale was not cooperating and for the life of me, I couldn’t lose the weight and what you say makes sooooo much sense to me, but, I actually lost 3lbs last week, even though we still have the weekly weigh in because my mindset has changed. Thank you, THANK YOU! I live in Trinidad in the West Indies and we are a drinkers so that’s about the only thing I will need to factor in pretty much every weekend 🙈. Any tips on incorporating alcohol (vodka/club soda) into my “diet”?
Just started your workouts this week. The walking ones are suitable for me since I have had a knee replacement and my hip is ready to be done as well. I find them very interesting as well as your talks. I hope I continue and see results. Thanks

Pahla, I’m curious if you do estrogen therapy? Thanks for all you’re doing
You make total sense and don’t make it complicated, thank you so much. ♥
I just ❤ your content. I do your workout videos daily, then afterwards I watch your other videos that are so inspiring to keep me motivated and moving. You put everything in such a simple way to understand and accomplish. I have seen results in a short time from following you and I just look forward to working out with you everyday!
