Bedtime. I drink water all day long out of a fountain at work which I didnt write in. Some days I the ammount of food I eat is double what is on this list. I used to work out the calories and stuff, but I just make sure I get 40-50 grams of protein, lots of carbs and lots of natural fat in my diet. Last time I checked, my calories where in the 5000-7500 range.

Another thing is that this is a workday typical diet. When I am at home, I prepare and eat A LOT more than this.

Holy crap Jordan ... lay off the coffee!

Nothing wrong with coffee mate. It actually contains some powerful antioxidants, and research has shown that people who drink a lot of coffee has significantly less chance of getting heart problems.

LOL
There are two reasons I like coffee.
1) I get up before 4 am and like to stay awake during the day since I operate huge equipment
2)I like it!
3)Antioxidants
4)Fat burner-Caffiene

See. Two reasons why I like it.

I personnally have about the most slack diet out there right now. I rotate a couple of different meals and eat which ever one I want at that time. I dont really eat every 2-3 hours usually just when I am hungry so on most days it is every 2-3 hours but some its not. Either way no big deal.

These are the meals I rotate

#1
8-10oz ground beef (sometimes with pasta sauce or whatever other sauce I can find)
+natural peanut butter or cheese

#2
6 eggs + egg whites
+ cheese or natural peanut butter

#3
chicken
+peanut butter

I will cook these a couple of different ways to try and change things up from time to time but I am pretty cheap so I usually eat ground beef minimum 3 times a day because its cheap and chicken is really expensive so I dont eat that every day maybe 3 times a week

I stay away from alot of carbs because my body doesnt reapond very well at all to carbs so I usually just have them PRE and POST workout and maybe at breakfast.

If you notice there are no greens in my regular diet. I do have them sometimes but mostly never. I HATE THEM SO MUCH. So I dont eat them much.

My 2 most important meals

PRE WORKOUT

1.5-2 cups long grain converted rice
+ground beef or chicken

POST WORKOUT
3 scoops of WPI
1 scoop of Waxy maize
1 scoop of dextrose
2 cups of grape juice.

All in all its pretty simple. I didnt include cheat meals or garbage because I never really plan that stuff it just sorta happens. I am usually bad on weekends that I have off.

I will keep this diet plan till my gains start to slow then I will have to tighten this up but as for right now I dont want to. I have spent the last 4-5 years counting calories, counting protein, weighing food that I am sick of it. I just want to eat and not worry about it too much.

I pretty much am at the same point. I lost a lot of bodyfat from 2005 through 2007, watched what I ate, and now have a pretty good idea of what I have to eliminate if I want to lose more fat.

But I'm enjoying eating what I want, when I want, not worrying about taking weight off / gaining, instead focusing on performance.

It just gets really tiring after a long time of being so anal about everything.

I just worry about the basics then go from there. As long as I get the protein in I am fine, the rest is just filler.

I'm working on a tool for this problem as well. I'm telling you guys, when I get my new website up and running, there will be literally a ton of resources that will help us manage being specific with our athletic lives without requiring all the time that it does now, so we won't disturb the rest of our lives.

...hard at work...

I am definitly looking forward to that Mike. I dont mind the training part that is fun. I even like loging it all in but nutrition thats another story.

I eat the same thing everyday, m-f at the same times. I do it because it's an easy lunch to make every day and because my job allows me to schedule it at those times easily.

6:40am   Turkey and bagel sandwich
9:30am   Now Sports Whey Protein Isolate shake
10:30am Chewy Granola bar
12:00pm Turkey and bagel sandwich
2:30pm    Regular granola bar

5:30 Supper
Tuna and Rice (at least 2x week) or
Pasta and Tuna or
Chicken and Rice or
Talapia and Rice or
Tator Tot Hot dish or
Tacos

sometimes w/ a vegetable or salad

Now Sports Whey Protein Isolate shake post workout or 7:30pm

I drink lots of water and at least 20oz of coffee a day

On the weekends, it's pretty much the same, but I will usually have pizza or a fatty meal as a cheat.

However, that's pretty much it. As you can see on my log, depending on how much salt is in my cheat on the weekend, I can easily gain 7-8 pounds, that hopefully falls off by wed. I'm trying hard to keep my weight between 179-183. It's tough though.

Usually a metabolic fast oxidizer type diet. I've been cheating like crazy for the past couple of months though and now I'm starting to pay health wise (asthma) so I'm back on it. Keeps me recovered...
