please post your answers to the following questions

A) what did you eat today and at roughly what times (or if today is a bad example, then a typical day for you). include everything.

2pm (pre-workout) - ~3 chips foodshouldtastegood multigrain chips. couple sips juice.

3pm (post-workout) - couple sips juice. water. small dish of mixed: hummus, tabouleh, olive oil. 1 "high fiber, reduced carb" pita (heated). 2 scoups whey protein w/ skim milk.

4pm (at work) - 1 iced latte (1 espresso, 1 equal packet, 1 ounce whole milk, ice). several diet cokes and water for next several hours.

11pm (arrive home) - 1 or 2 beers or glasses of wine. sometimes a small amt of food brought home from work (i work at a restaurant). the food is prob ~200-300 calories, usually hard cheese or a vegetable salad.

12am - 1 scoup whey protein w/ skim milk

2-3am (go to sleep)


B) are you satisfied with this diet?
yes, i could eat like this indefinitely. i like to mix things up every now and again, but the caloric intake for me is about right. large meals make me feel a little sick.


C) if you alter this diet by going out or making something special, are your meals typically larger or about the same? how often do you alter your diet?
diet alterations usually end up being larger because i'm making a few different things for dinner or i want to try a few things at whatever restaurant. i'll almost never eat until i'm stuffed though. i'd say i alter my diet significantly about one meal a week. sometimes i'll throw in an extra small healthy snack or split a meal into two mini-meals though.


D) what is your height and weight?
6'1. ~155lbs.

are you female?

uhhhhhhhhhhh

breakfast is a protein bar or occasionally a bagel

snack is a protein bar or pretzels

lunch is usually a turkey sandwich, peanut butter, or chicken

snack is usually a protein bar

dinner is usually a meat and starch dish

i drink nothing but water throughout the day and night

weekends are a different matter

your diet looks nice and all but why are you aiming for the build of a 21 year old female? i'm 6'2 and about 175-180 and i am skinny enough

i cant imagine being 25 lbs lighter

are you a vegetarian?

yesterday I ate:

7am: juice, kashi bar
9am: protein w skim milk
12pm: turkey, whole wheat, spinach, tomato juice
2pm: yogurt blue berry
6pm: turkey tacos, black beans

I'll start this now and edit it the rest of the day in.

half cup of hole grain oats(with water), big spoonful of activia fat free yogurt mixed in, half a spoon of almond butter mixed in, and a few slivers of banana. bottle of water, plus half a scoop of a water\protein shake in just a bit.

had some turkey jerky as a snack

lunch was barbecue salmon, mixed greens salad, half a sweet potatoe

afternoon snack was 2 bowls of leek\tofu soup

Supper was a chicken breast in cream sauce, green peas, broccoli salad

late night was almond butter and cottage cheese


for a weight loss diet, it's great. I'm not hungry and it's nutritious.

as far as alterations... I basically change the carb intake for recovery or shock.

5'11" 173lbs

I'm on a bulk and my metabolism is off the charts so this is my current routine...
5'11 179lbs

Meal 1
3/4 Large Carton Egg Whites
1 cup Oatmeal
1 cup Almonds
Fruit
(Or 1000 Cal Shake w/Fruit)

Meal 2
8oz Chicken or Steak
2 cups Veggies (Usually green beans)
2 cups Rice or Potatoes
Almonds

Meal 3
Casserole (Ground beef, potatoes, cheese)

Meal 4
(Same as 2)

Meal 5
(Same as 3)

Meal 6
(Same as 1)



Sched (roughly)
6:00am - Meal 1

12:00pm - Meal 3
3:00pm - Meal 4
6:30pm - Meal 5
9:00pm - Meal 6

I try to keep it pretty simple because when I'm busy it's hard to be cooking a large variety. I usually cook an entire weeks worth of meals in a night and then pack around a gigantic lunch kit. I also throw in Mutant Mass weight gainer shakes post workout or whenever I feel I can use a few more calories. It tastes like shit but it works. If I eat out, I just try to order something roughly the same calorie intake I would have with my regular meal.

not a vegetarian, but i end up eating that way most of the time - also partly due to this girl i've been hanging out with being vegetarian, so when i make food for both of us, she has to be able to eat it. i have meat maybe twice a week.

everyone's diet looks pretty clean so far, rayn and glare especially.

it'd be interesting to compare diets like this to people that don't pay attention to what they eat at all, and/or who eat at mcdonalds everyday.

edit: not really aiming for hot female physique, i actually have decent upper body musculature, although i rarely workout my legs. if i put on more mass in my quads/hamstrings, i'd probably gain another 5 lbs, perhaps more. shrug.

A) what did you eat today and at roughly what times (or if today is a bad example, then a typical day for you). include everything.

6:40 AM- bowl of cinnamon life w/ 1% milk and a banana
12 PM- natural pb/j sammich, sugar-free chocolate snack pack, sugar free applesauce, diet green tea, half a turkey sammich, sometimes a kashi bar
3:30 PM- lean pocket (usually leftovers instead) and caffeine free diet rite
6PM- probably going to be some lean meat, starch, and veg. nothing fried.
8PM- light dessert of some kind, or if after workout, protein shake

B) are you satisfied with this diet?
not particularly


C) if you alter this diet by going out or making something special, are your meals typically larger or about the same? how often do you alter your diet?
usually larger, since restaurants have giant ass portions. usually only once every two weeks or so.


D) what is your height and weight?
6'1 165 lbs

half a sweat potatoe

lol gross

oops left out the questions

1) day is completely typical. i barely deviate from this.
2) yeah it works, its simple, sometimes I'm hungry.
3) larger .. if I go out I splurge cause like I said I'm hungry sometimes.
4) 6'0" 195

bowl of cereal (cheerios, raisin bran, sometimes something sugary, depends what I have and what I feel like having)
then bike to work
I'll usually have a protein shake when I get to work, if I'm really hungry I'll have toast w/ peanut butter and honey (2 slices = 600kcal) but that usually waits until mid-morning
lunch is ramen and a protein shake
I usually don't have an afternoon snack these days
bike home, 50% of the time I'll have a miller lite
dinner is almost always a cheeseburger w/ turkey bacon, a fried egg, and frank's red hot
I will frequently have a beverage consisting of diet dr. pepper and some spiced rum in the evening
and finally a bowl of cereal (usually something light, like cheerios)

it works, I'm rarely hungry, and I hit my calorie goals pretty close most of the time

if it changes it's probably because I'm eating out or I'm hungry, which means I'm eating something larger

5'11" 176

dude i don't mean to pick on you but what the fuck? that's an incredibly weird/bad diet. i'm just confused
howso?

i think i definitely eat less than i used to. i went from 6'1 185lbs to 155-160ish over the past 2 years. the main thing for me is determining if i'm actually hungry or i just "want food" (as in, the food is satisfying some personal urge or frustration or whatever). i'm really not hungry that often, and if i am, i'll have a small snack enough to sate me.

also, several years ago, i wasn't on any kind of diet, but i had become a bit concerned that as i got older, my metabolism would slow and i'd continually gain weight for the rest of my life. most of the people i know over 40 are overweight. i'm 29 and i've never been as fit as i am now.

if it's the timing that's weirding you out, it's because i work from ~3pm to 11pm. wake at noon-ish, go to bed around 3am.

I think my diet sucks, and i need to improve.

10:30am 1 large bowl cereal. natures harvest or some shit. 1% milk
1:00pm 1 Lean burger with pickles & srirracha, 1 cup low fat yogurt, handfull of grapes
4:00pm 1 roast beef sandwich w/cheese (not processed)
6:00pm 1 large bowl of chilli
9:00pm 1 peanut butter sandwich w/jam & nature valley granola bar
12:00 1 large bowl mini wheats.

5'9 165lbs

B) are you satisfied with this diet?

i guess so. i live close to work and school so i can go home to eat but otherwise i always have to carry around food with me wherever i go. i don't like waking up starving and being hungry throughout the day but hey...
also i eat so much because i'm training six days per week and doing light cardio x 3

C) if you alter this diet by going out or making something special, are your meals typically larger or about the same? how often do you alter your diet?

if i go out to eat i usually will stick to just protein + fat foods. ie steak or burger no bun with salad. usually cuz i have drinks if i eat out. i try not to alter my diet too much but it's hard for me to get motivated to eat on the weekends when i just want to laze and relax.

D) what is your height and weight?

5'8 209 lbs as of this morning
(reaching for 218 by christmas)

b) satisified? for the most part. i look pretty good, feel healthy, and am able to adjust higher protein for higher carbs as needed.

c) alterations typically happen on the weekend in the form of booze and pizza.working an office job with regular hours has been a boon to my routine.

d) 6'2 175-180

Being a chef, I eat all day long and have a constant source of food.

B) are you satisfied with this diet?

Yes. I'm not losing weight, recovery is quick and I don't have to spend my entire day counting.

C) if you alter this diet by going out or making something special, are your meals typically larger or about the same? how often do you alter your diet?

Other than not being able to eat enough because I'm busy, the only time I'll need to alter my diet is 1-3 months in advance of a powerlifting meet and drop 20lbs.

D) what is your height and weight?


5'8" and weight fluctuates between 182-187lbs.
