A few of the followers of the quest have asked me to discuss nutrition a bit more regularly. What better way to present my take on nutrition than to post a food log. So here is what I ate today:
Breakfast—Egg Scramble: 4 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, spinach, mushroom, and onions
Pre-workout snack—Small piece of chicken and some coffee
Lunch/Post Workout meal—A bunch of chicken and half of a sweet potato
Dinner—Ribs, asparagus, and salad
I try to keep it simple. I eat protein at every meal and at most meals I get my carbohydrates from vegetables. I am not afraid of fat. I don’t weigh my protein out, but I definitely eat more than a gram of protein per lb of bodyweight. Most days I eat three meals, some days I will have a small piece of protein before I workout to give myself a nice amino acid boost heading into training, but I don’t do that religiously. On days when I know that my workouts are going to deplete muscle glycogen I will have a dense carbohydrate source like yams or sweet potatoes with some protein following the workout. That’s about it.
