Post Your Diet...

    Hi Guys,

    Just want to get an idea of your diets, I think I need to restructure mine and it might help if I see what other peoples diet consist of. It also might be helpful for other people to pick up some tips. I'm aiming for the 5-6 small meals per day but I'm not sure what some of you mean by small meals!

    It might help if you include what your fitness goals are. I'll start with mine:

    Goals: lose some weight / build muscle

    Breakfast: Bowl Porridge, Vitamin C Drink

    Mid Morning Snack: Fruit

    Lunch: Brown Bread Sandwich + Fruit

    Mid Afternoon Snack: Fruit (i think this needs changing)

    Dinner: Usually chicken based with veg and rice/pasta/potatoes

    Evening Snack (sometimes): Few slices of rivita

    I would also like to know what sort of foods people eat post/pre workout.

    Cheers :)

    This was done a while back, but since the search function has been disabled...

    Meal 1: porridge + yoghurt + whey
    Meal 2 (post workout): banana + whey
    Meal 3: meat/ fish + salad/ veg + couscous/ rice + walnut oil
    Meal 4: cottage cheese + nuts
    Meal 5: meat/ fish + salad/ veg + walnut/olive oil
    Meal 6: nuts or meat before bed

    At the moment the general goal is weight loss and strength maintenance. But even if my goals changed I'd just alter the amounts within each meal to suit my needs. There's protein with every meal and starchy carbs are cut off after lunch.

    well i will post up today's diet. Diet has become a lot better in the last couple of weeks as i am trying to drop some BF before the end of august *cough*, that i am taking some zma since last week and this seemed to be bringing down the BF by itself so i thought i might as well go with the flow and try and help with much of a clean diet as possible. Today is a weights training day.

    7.30ish banana apple and protein sahke with water.

    4km walk to work

    9.30 bowl of no added sugar museli.

    10.15ish smal lhandful of nuts.

    11.00ish another small handfuls of nuts.

    11.30 2 slices of wholegrain bread couple of slices of cooked ham and lettuce (ok a ham sandwich)

    2.00 pork chop and salad some nuts

    4.30 chicken salad.

    5.15 4km walk to gym, around an hour in gym

    post workout 2 bananas, apple and a protein shake

    15 minute walk home from gym

    8.30ish probably fish and some potatoes and probably some veg.

    10.30 zma supplement

    11.15 protein and milk shake.


    This would be a pretty standard sort of diet execpt for dinner as that can pretty **** sometimes. today is a going to be a good day though (yesterday's diet was pretty much the same bar the double burger and half a portion of chips and large sprite zero from eddie rockets:D for dinner )

    Yesterday I ate:

    8:30 Museli + yogurt + apple
    11:30 apple
    13:30 Wheatmeal pitta bread with chicken and salad
    15:00 handful of nuts
    17:00 wholemeal pitta bread + cottage cheese
    19:30 bean soup + rye bread
    20:00 pack of crisps
    22:00 bottle of beer

    today's will be very similar but with a pitta bread with cottage cheese and salad, and dinner is likely to be a chicken curry. Home made with brown rice. no crisps today though.

    I don't know how people eat the same thing everyday. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it better to vary what you eat instead of getting the same thing every day. Like say if you are one type of fish one day you should try and eat a different type the next.
    With that said I usually have the same breakfast every morning - Selenium supplements, Organic Muslei/ porrige and milk with banana slices, green tea.
    Always eat four pieces of fruit, drink lots of water and have chocolate but have a different dinner and lunch everyday. I'd crack up if I had a robotic routine.

    I see your point, but my meat can be chicken or turkey, fish is salmon, tuna or prawns. Absolutely variety is key, but I know that I get all my nutrient requirements from what I eat, and I enjoy my food. Plus having some sort of set structure around it helps me keep it in check all the time. I'd rather eat the same healthy nutritious whole foods than eat a different type of processed bit of muck every night ;)

    dude that is one hell of a extreme diet as you only have one solid food meal a day and your diet as a whole seems to be based on supplements as oppose to getting your nutrion from food, also how many calories is in your diet at the moment
