What I Eat in a Day for Clear Skin: Hormone-Friendly, Gut-Loving Meals

anti acne diet

Let’s be honest—meal planning can feel like a full-time job. Between trying to eat “clean,” avoid triggers, balance hormones, support your gut, and still live your life… it’s A LOT.

That’s exactly why I created the ChatBGT Acne Meal Planning Prompt. It helps you generate hormone-friendly, acne-supportive meals based on your preferences, while still staying aligned with my nourished framework. Because here’s the truth: not everyone should be eating the same thing. Your age, weight, height, activity level (and whether you’re pregnant or nursing) all play a role in how much food your body actually needs.

Why Eating Enough Matters

I think a lot of us, without even realizing it, have been conditioned by diet culture to undereat. We avoid dairy, cut carbs, skip snacks, and wonder why our skin isn’t healing. But your body needs food to feel safe. When you’re not eating enough, it’s a recipe for:

  • Imbalanced hormones
  • A sluggish liver
  • Poor digestion
  • And yes… stubborn acne

So if no one has told you lately: your body needs food. And you’re allowed to eat nourishing meals without guilt. Here’s a look at what a typical day of eating looks like for me right now, focused on hormone harmony, gut support, and blood sugar balance.


Morning: Digestive Soother + Protein-Rich Breakfast

My day always starts with my digestive soother. This drink supports mineral balance, gently wakes up digestion, and helps regulate blood sugar before my first meal. I drink it on an empty stomach, and sometimes I’ll take 2 shilajit pills for an extra detox + mineral boost.

After that, I focus on a protein-rich breakfast, aiming for 30–40g of protein. I want my body to feel grounded and energized, not crashing by 10am.

Pro tip: If you’re not hungry in the morning, start small and slowly increase over time. Your hunger will come back once your body feels safe again.

Then comes my beloved coffee (always after breakfast, never on an empty stomach), and I stir in Xccelerate Coffee Lite—my favorite supplement right now. It boosts mood, supports metabolism, balances cortisol, and honestly? It’s helped me sleep through the night after months of those annoying 2–4am wake-ups. Game changer.

After coffee, I take my current supplements:

Normally, I’m all about food first—but lately, I’ve realized how hard it is to get in everything consistently (especially with colostrum, prebiotics, and probiotics). This helps me feel nourished without the overwhelm.


Mid-Morning Snack

Around 11:30, I’ll have a snack—usually something simple like a beef stick + mineral mocktail. Check out my mineral mocktail guide for recipe ideas or browse the blog post here.

Reminder: Snacks should always include protein, fat, and carbs. Never eat carbs alone—it spikes your blood sugar, which throws off your hormones and energy levels.


Lunch: Protein + Fruit + Something Crunchy

Lunch is often leftovers or a turkey sandwich on sourdough or gluten-free bread, plus fruit or cut-up veggies. The biggest thing I focus on here? Getting at least 30g of protein.

PSA: Two slices of turkey is not enough. I say this with love—because I used to do the same thing. Or worse… just eat a sad salad with barely any protein 🤦🏼‍♀️


Afternoon Reset: Raw Carrot Salad

Around 4pm, I have my raw carrot salad. I eat it on an empty stomach to help my body detox excess estrogen. It’s especially powerful during the luteal phase, but honestly, it’s helpful any time of the month.

If you’re new to this, try a 30-day raw carrot salad challenge and see how your skin and cycle shift!


Dinner: Simple, Nourishing, and Delicious

Dinner is all about simplicity. I rotate through:

  • Animal proteins: chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, cod, or scallops
  • Carbs: rice, root veggies, or potatoes
  • Veggies: whatever’s on hand—or a quick cucumber + tomato salad with sea salt, lemon, cumin, and olive oil. So good.

If I eat dinner early, I’ll have a small snack before bed, just not within 2 hours of sleep to keep my digestion happy.
