My current diet for now
I thought I would go ahead and post my current eating and diet plan. This is what I am eating right now. It could be better or worse, but I am not putting too much into it and making it difficult. I am working a lot, and I am going to the gym when I can. I had a month or two where I didn't go much at all, but i'm a little more steady now. This has been easy for me to follow and the food doesn't take a lot of prep time
![]() I wake up and do about 20-30 minutes of cardio here at home, usually either on my treadmill or stationary bike, or i'll take a walk outside. I then get ready for work, and get there around 8am. I'll have my protein drink around 8:30am to 9am. Meal #1: 4oz Kirkland Almond Milk + 1/3 cup oats + 1T flax mill + 1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee + 1 Splenda + 1 scoop mocha flavor whey protein from TrueNutrition + water. Meal #2: 3oz of chicken. Costco has this really good pepper chicken that is quick to prepare. I heat it up in the microwave and fry it in the pan for a few minutes to get a sear. I eat my chicken with a big salad consisting of spinach/spring mix + 1 carrot + 1/2 cup of broccoli or so + 1/2 a cucumber + 1 small roma tomato + sprinkle of cheese and sunflower seeds. For dressing, I use either Kraft's FF ranch, or i'll make my own dressing, which is EVOO + Balsamic Vinegar + Dijon mustard + salt/pepper + garlic powder or salt. I use just enough to mix in with the salad. Meal 3: 1 cup of egg whites with bell peppers mixed in. I like Taco bell's hot sauce, so I usually mix in 1-2 packets. I'll have 1-2 pieces of whole grain bread with this. This is also usually my pre-workout meal that I eat around 3:30 at work. It digests easily for me, and it doesn't mess with my stomach during training. Nice and light meal. I do have to admit, that I get tired of eggs, so I change it up often. Meal #4: I have post workout protein shake. 1 scoop whey isolate + 1/3 cup oats + 4oz of almond milk + 1 T of flaxseed + added water. Meal #5: I change this one up quite a bit. Right now I am eating the following: 2 slices of toasted whole grain bread + 2-3oz chunk light tuna + 1 celery stalk + some chopped onions + some green peas + 1T of reduced fat Olive Oil mayo + mustard + some FF ranch dressing + salt/pepper. This is basically a tuna mix for the toasted bread. I will usually also have a small mixed green salad similar to what I had for lunch. Sometimes i'll also have the following: 1c cottage cheese with some fruit, and a small salad. or, 3oz of cooked meat or chicken, small amount of rice or carbohydrate, along with a salad or cooked riced cauliflower. ![]() MG |

That is a legit diet to be lean. I would starve in two day on it though HAHA.
Looks like macros and micros are well thought out even though it is a pretty lean diet you have plenty of protein from several sources. Also like the flax, ALA is heart healthy.

Hi Jipped Genes! I'm a little person though, at 5'1" and 105-110# so it doesn't take much to fill me up. Don't get me wrong, I can throw down on some double doubles at in-n-out

Your diet is very diverse. meat, grain, dairy, veg and some fruit supplemented with whey or whatever protein you use. I think dietary diversity is an overlooked part of BB/training. By doing so you ensure a healthy gut microbiome which in turn increases health, recovery and overall well being.

diet looks solid. mind breaking down the calories and macros for us? I'm assuming you're after fat loss correct?

Today, instead of meal #3 listed in my first post, I switched it to 1c Greek NonFat yogurt with 3oz of banana, and half a cucumber. It was a nice change from eating eggs for awhile

HAHAHA at glyco...
Switch it up when you feel like it. For me I have found it far easier to stick to a diet when I have a larger variety of foods to choose from. Next time you do yogurt have strawberries. small changes make it far easier to live with.

You described it so accurately, I couldn't have done it that way. If you don't mind, a few breakfast options I'll take note of. I usually try to make everything different, but sometimes I lack imagination. How do you practice? Is there a system?
