Breakdown of My Go To Proteins, Carbs, and Fats

This is a list of the variety of proteins, carbs and fats that I consume each day. I mix it up but it's a pretty standard list that I can mix it up and have something different everyday. I am still new to the "track your macro's" thing but really have enjoyed using IIFYM to see where I stand daily on my protein, carb and fat intake. I have been eating about 6 meals a day and I am literally forcing myself to eat to meet my calories for the day. It's easy to forget to eat or snack on whatever the kiddo is eating when you are chasing a 14 month old around the house all day. I am not on a diet, I'm not cutting carbs, eliminating meals or starving myself. I am all about reaching my goals by good old fashion hard work and fueling my body with the nutrients it needs.  I have also swapped out many things in my pantry for healthier options like using honey, a banana, or applesauce in place of sugar in a recipe. I will do a post on all my swaps because I have a new found love for baking and I love all the healthier options out there.
