BODi Wedding Edition: What To Eat Before Your Big Day

With winter nearing the end and spring and summer fast approaching, wedding season is just around the corner! If it’s your own wedding, or a close friends, you probably have everything planned down to the detail, but one thing you may not have thought of is what to eat beforehand! With hours of hair and makeup, photoshoots, the ceremony and the reception ahead of you, loading up on protein and healthy fats is absolutely essential to fuel you through the day! Here are our top ideas of delicious, yet nutritious foods to eat before the big day commences!

1. Fuel up on protein with an egg dish, be it an omelette, eggs Benedict or a fluffy scramble with bacon or smoked salmon.
2. Treat yourself to your favourite pancakes, check out our recipe for quick and easy protein pancakes to keep you full throughout the day.
3. A perfectly cooked piece of fish, steak or chicken with veggies. Keeping carbs to a minimum, especially simple carbs such as white bread or pasta, will help to avoid the dreaded bloating before slipping into that perfectly tailored dress!
4. Your favourite salad, for example a delicious Greek salad with chicken and feta, topped with olive oil, to fuel yourself on protein and health fats!
5. Whatever your favourite meal is! After all it is your special day that you’ll only get to enjoy once, so why not treat yourself to all your favourite foods and start the day on the best note possible!
