Thread: What do you eat daily?

Im a cereal person for breaky so its porridge for me or just the lowan muesli that Mino got me started on.

For omeletes, some of them make the mixture up the night before. Doing it that way wouldnt take any longer to make in the morning than it takes me to make my porridge.

Ahh that's smart..

I think i'll go omelletes and porridge. I am the king of cooking Eggs.

Well, cooked 3 whole eggs and a small tomato and it turned out shit haha.

How does this diet look, I'm going to start on it seriously. Also how to you make oats taste good?

Honey makes them taste good.

I even use my protein in cereal :P

How does that diet look ?

Typical day:

Meal 1:
1 Tea
2 Boiled Eggs
1 Toast

Post Workout:
Electrolyte Drink
1 Apple
30 mins later WPI

Meal 2:
2 Boiled Eggs
1 Chicken Breast
1 Cucumber
1 Tomato
1/4 Onion
mixed with Vegetable Oil

Meal 3:
1 Banana
1 Orange
10 Grapes
1 Pear

Meal 4:
2 Boiled Eggs
1 Turkey Breast
1 Vegetable Salad

Meal 5:
1 Tuna
1 Vegetable Salad

Meal 6:
1 Chicken Breast
1 Vegetable Salad
Cottage Cheese + Nuts

Meal 7:
1 Read Meat
1 Vegetable Salad

1 Peppermint Tea

Plenty of water throughout the day. No soft drinks or alcohol.
May throw in an additional WPI when needed.
I gauge how I'm feeling and either cutback on portions or add.
I also have no problems with a junk fix - say once a week a small chocolate or so depending on the craving.

Have noticed real improvements with this.

I personally don't think it is good. Look around forums for what is best and how to put it together.

Ummm, why? Give me some ideas then?

Mixed fresh berries, or fruit, and protein powder.

I just use muesli now thanks to Mino's suggestion. As long as I keep the calories in check it has had no negative effect and tastes a lot better. Probably better for me as it has other healthy foods in it that I would never normally include in my diet.

That with eggs and vegetables packs in a heap of quality calories to start the day with.

how & in what order do you take those... & with what.

Reading food related threads does my head in because I can't imagine eating the sort of diets a lot of you have, and I don't know if I even require it. I do think I need more protein though.

I can't handle eating the same things and can only stomach things like canned fish and low fat cottage cheese occasionally. I just try and stick with reasonably healthy, high protein food. One tip I got from here was to eat sweet potato instead of normal and i love it. I've always adored roast sweet potatoes but it never occurred to me to eat them boiled, except when i've made a sweet potato, spinach and chickpea salad.

Breakfast: I realise i should be eating a LOT more but have never been a brekky person. Usually just have 2 scrambled eggs and 200g baked beans, mushroom omelette or some low fat/sugar yoghurt. Today i had a bacon and egg burrito. Always trying to mix it up. The idea of some of the shakes mentioned here is nauseating LOL although I'm going to try the oats and protein powder. Just need to know if you need to soak the oats or just blend with other ingrediants?

Lunch: All sorts of things from chicken burritos to corn thins topped with salmon, LF cottage cheese and tomato (one of my not-so-favourite meals). I may also just eat a couple slices of roast turkey breast. I find it difficult to have decent lunches as I don't want meal type food.

Dinner: Easiest meal. Tonight was large grilled chicken breast (everyone should get a shark's tooth grill for the best tasting and moist meat) boiled sweet potato, silverbeet, brussel sprouts and broccoli. Other times it's rump steak and various boiled/steamed vegies or mixed salad and brown rice.

Snacks: Apples, bananas, almonds, cashews, peanut butter on corn thins, baked corn chips and hommous, protein bars, rockmelon w/ cottage cheese, low fat/sugar yoghurt.

I mostly drink water (my proudest achievement since I rarely drank it before) and occasionally a glass of juice, coffee, energy drink and coke or sprite zero (with gin hehe). The latter two would only be a few glasses per week. After training I have around 250ml low fat milk + 30g wpc.

It's been difficult keeping up the extremely different diet I'm used to and lately I've been sneaking in a piece of cake here or a biscuit or two there. I don't have cheat days as such but a little cheat here and there.

Creatine Monohydrate 5g before & after Workouts in morning or with cardio on rest days.
Glucosomine 5g with every 5g of creatine
BCAA Powder 1 scoop pre & one scoop Post (i think approx 12gms)
Just take with water or mix in with post workout shake with dextrose/ banana

Try mash sweet potatoe, I love mixing it with brown rice & chicken.
