A personal trainer who works closely with Kayla Itsines on her Sweat app has shared her daily meals – and the snacks that give her energy – to showcase how easy it is to be healthy.

Kelsey Wells, 29, invented the ‘PWR’ weight lifting fitness guide to help time poor people get their best body with 45-minute training sessions a day, and it’s now featured on Itsines’ lucrative app.

Based in Utah, Kelsey is an advocate for clean living but doesn’t just nourish her body with superfood concoctions, instead choosing easily accessible produce her 2.7million fans could easily find around their own home.

For example, her morning routine includes a breakfast laced with fried egg whites and spinach or avocado.

‘For breakfast, I always make sure I am fueling my body with wholesome, nutrient-rich foods to give me the energy to go about a busy day,’ she told Sporteluxe Australia. 

A big bowl of Greek yoghurt with fresh berries or avocado toast with vegetarian sausage might also be an option if Kelsey is looking to mix things up in the kitchen.

After sitting down to breakfast with her son Anderson and husband Ryan the svelte brunette will head to her local gym for a one hour weight lifting session, filming content for her social media platforms as she goes.

Kelsey Wells’ top HIIT moves to transform the body:

  • Burpees 
  • High Knees
  • The Sprawl
  • Jump Squats 

‘After my workout, it’s time to rehydrate and refuel my body. Typically I will have a protein shake straight after my workout to help with muscle growth and recovery,’ she said.

Often lunch will include leftovers from the night before or some type of salad with added protein, whether that be chicken or fish.

The afternoon will be spent working on the Sweat app, taking meetings, scheduling products launches and answering emails.

Kelsey will eat every two to three hours to avoid feeling hungry, and unnecessarily snacking on chips, lollies and chocolate

For dinner she enjoys crock-pot meals; a chilli con carne in the winter or a shredded chicken with veggies when the weather is warmer.   

Kelsey doesn’t cut out any food groups and enjoys a donut every Sunday with her son, reminding others that while food is fuel it can be fun too.
