If you thought being a group fitness instructor looked easy, prepare yourself. On any given day, Becca Pace, head trainer for Daily Burn’s Barre Harmony<\/a> program, could be teaching up to six\u00a0classes at different locations! \u201cThe class styles that I specialize in require a lot of physical demo-ing from me, since they are structured to flow much like a dance class<\/a>,\u201d Pace says. \u201cPlus, the commute can take me from the east side to the west, uptown to downtown, and I even teach in New Jersey one night a week. You can imagine, I get hungry with all of that action!\u201d<\/p>\n

The secret to her survival is making sure she always has a water bottle on hand to stay hydrated<\/a>. \u201cI pretty much only drink water, with the occasional coffee and hot tea in the mix, so having a steady supply is super important \u2014 especially when I’m running all over NYC all day,\u201d Pace says. While she relies on smoothies<\/a> and peanut butter to tide her over when she needs a quick snack, Pace says it\u2019s important for her to eat meals that will keep her full and energized.<\/p>\n

Curious about how this super-toned fitness pro stays satiated? Here\u2019s a look at what she eats in a typical day.<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Greek yogurt<\/a>, granola, bananas and blueberries (or whatever fruit she has on hand) is how Pace likes to rise and shine. \u201cThis is quick and easy for me to prepare, especially on my early morning starts, and gives me a little bit of everything to boost my energy and start my day off right,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Lunch<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Her on-the-go schedule means Pace often eats lunch when she\u2019s out and about. This soup from Evolution Fresh<\/a> is made with vegetable-based broth (though Pace does eat meat), kale, tomato, beans and avocado. \u201cSo yummy, so healthy, but hearty to keep me full for a few hours, which is important,\u201d Pace says. \u201c[It] warms me up, fills me up, and it was really great knowing everything was fresh and clean.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dinner<\/h3>\n

Like most of us, Pace\u2019s eyes are often bigger than her stomach by dinnertime. \u201cI love pasta, and I need the carbs<\/a> after a big day of burning calories,\u201d she says. \u201cHowever, I take a little less than I think I can eat, so I don\u2019t get to the point of feeling bloated from over-eating.\u201d She also tends to enjoy her food at a leisurely pace. \u201cI eat very slowly, I always have,\u201d says Pace (who attributes her slow eating style to the fact that she\u2019s a big talker!). \u201cThis can be helpful in keeping the metabolism working at a steady pace.\u201d<\/p>\n

The party\u2019s not over after dinner, though. Pace is a self-proclaimed \u201chuge ice cream eater<\/a>,\u201d and eats it a couple of times a week. \u201cI have been eating ice cream since I was a little girl, and I don’t foresee that changing any time soon!\u201d<\/p>\n
