WHAT I EAT DURING A TYPICAL DAY

I was asked if I could provide a rundown of what I eat on a normal day…here goes.

Breakfast

•     I take a cup of frozen strawberries and a cup of frozen blueberries and I put them into a blender. I fill it up with water and throw in some Metamucil. Blend it all together and you get a decent enough smoothie.
•     1 cup bell peppers
•     2-3 pieces of turkey bacon.
•     A carbohydrate source like bread or oatmeal.

Meal 1

•     Six ounce Pork baked.
•     1 cup of spinach
•     1 ounce almonds

Meal 2

•     Six-ounce chicken breast baked.
•     1 cup of carrots
•     1 cup brown rice

Meal 3

•     Protein shake (I use skim milk to mix my protein shake and usually throw in a cup of fruit)
•     1 cup of green peas.

Meal 4

•     Six ounce steak grilled.
•     Salad with dressing on the side and used sparingly.

And that would be a day’s worth of food for me. This is just an example of what I would eat but it’s not always the same. And I would be lying if I said I followed this everyday but this is my template. Sometimes I will eat more meals, sometimes I will eat less but four is usually good enough for me. If I miss a meal at any point I always try to carry a protein bar with me to at least get something down that is low calorie and will help fight the hunger. So on any given day I am eating usually about 4-6 cups of vegetables and 3-5 cups of fruit. This is an extreme change from how I used to eat. At first I was having an extremely hard time adjusting to it but you eventually get over the initial shock of this eating pattern and at least for me, you flourish.
