When someone reaches out to me that reads my training logs, I always ask them at the end of the conversation about things I can do that would make the training log more valuable to them. At the top of that list is always "what do you eat?"
It's a great question, and even though I'm not training right now, my diet hasn't really changed. I'm 5'10" 240 and 10-15% body fat. I haven't tested it in forever but my make up is pretty similar to what it was in college, I've just put on more muscle so if anything maybe it's gone down. I digress...
Here is what my breakfast looked like this week:
Monday-Wednesday
4 eggs, scrambled with a little bit of cheddar cheese and Stubb's Green Chile sauce
handful of mixed greens thrown in the pan with the eggs as they had about a minute left to cook (softens the greens up just enough)
1/2 avacado (only on two of the four days)
1 bagel (only on wednesday)
Thursday- we have a morning meeting at work at 830am and since I'm 30 minutes away and I like my sleep, I get up as late as possible and pick up breakfast to go.
There is a local breakfast place, Eggs N'at (it's a Pittsburgh thing) where I order a bacon/egg/cheese on a bagel with extra egg. I also pick up donuts for my customers, and I don't pass up the chance to eat a donut. So:
Bacon/2 eggs/cheese on a bagel
2 chocolate cake frosted donuts
Friday
Slow day, worked from home. So I had time to cook all out.
4 eggs, scrambled with greens
3 pieces of bacon
1 bowl of honey nut cheerios because I was still hungry after that
Saturday
Slept in. Woke Yessie up. Made breakfast.
4 eggs
1/2 avacado
2 pieces of bacon
2 chocolate chip pancakes (Yessie is on a diet and said she couldn't eat them. But we came back Saturday night after dinner with friends and she had two of them- something about having to get bloated for the next day's squat session)
Sunday- Yessie cooked
4 eggs, scrambled with greens
1 cinnamon raisin bagel with strawberry jelly
The dogs got their normal food plus 1 piece of leftover pork tenderloin each and 1/2 a scrambled egg each.
