Rachael Attard is sharing her 21-Day Challenge – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness trainer and influencer flaunts her super fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while unveiling a 21-day Christmas challenge, “completely free during December,” she writes in the caption. 4How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
She Sleeps a Lot
In a recent post she discusses the importance of getting enough sleep to “burn fat faster,” she writes. “Prioritizing quality rest is the ultimate game-changer in your fat loss journey. When you’re well-rested, everything falls into place—your energy, workouts, cravings, and even how your body responds to food. If you’re skipping on rest, you might be holding yourself back more than you realize.”
Here's What She Eats in a Day
In a blog post, Rachael revealed what she eats in a day and other important components of her diet. One sample menu would be a protein smoothie made from 1 scoop protein, ½ banana, 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp natural peanut butter for breakfast. Then for a snack she would have 1 cup carrot and celery sticks with 2 tbsp natural almond butter. For lunch she would eat Paleo moussaka (made with beef) and dinner, a Thai Beef Salad. Another day could be an omelette made from 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites, bacon, spinach, mushrooms and olives for breakfast, 1 apple and 2 tbsp natural peanut butter for a snack, homemade chicken, vegetable and l
Eating the Same Foods Daily
“I eat quite similar foods on a daily basis as I find this helps me to stay on track and it’s easier when it comes to food preparation,” she says. “You’ll also notice that I don’t have many snacks and this is because my meals are quite large, so I don’t need them. I try to stick to 3 main meals and 1 snack because this is what works for me, and stops me from overeating.”
She Eats 1700 Calories Per Day
“I’m currently eating around 1700 calories and trying to stick to lower carb, however I do treat myself when I want to, and don’t count calories religiously. The main difference between this nutrition plan and my previous one, is that this one contains a lot more fiber,” she wrote in the post.
She Consumes a Lot of Fiber
“I eat least 26g of fiber per day, if not more. You should be aiming for 15g of fiber per 1000 calories. But when you are eating low carb, it is harder to hit your recommended fiber intake. This is why the majority of your carbs should come from fruit and vegetables. My main issue with not having enough fiber, was that I was feeling hungry all the time. Once I increased my fiber intake, I actually noticed a significant difference in hunger, which I’m super happy about,” she continues.
