DietSo with all this working out – what the hell do I eat?

Here’s a summary of my daily food intake along with some variations…

Breakfast

  • Muesli + skimmed milk + apple or 2 clementines
  • Fruit & fibre cereal + skimmed milk + apple

Lunch

  • Dairylea Lunchables (I know its a terrible, processed, manky food but its quick, cheap with reasonable nutrition stats)
  • Alternatives include…
    • Lentil and Bacon soup + 1 slice of bread
    • Rice and peas
    • Egg fried rice

Dinner

Here’s where I pig-out big time and normally after a heavy workout or ju jutsu class.  Here’s a few alternatives…

  • 2 chicken breasts + brown rice + peas + apple
  • Chicken breast + scrambled egg + peas + green beans + apple
  • Tuna + sweetcorn + toast + apple
  • Beans + chicken breast + toast

I don’t like complicated foods as I don’t have the time and I want to know exactly whats in it and as you increase the number and complexity of ingredients you start to lose a handle on whats in the meal.

Snacks

I eat apples and clementines throughout the day.  They’re my two favourite fruits.  If I’ve got some nuts then I’ll have those and unfortunately I still have a weakness for chocolate which I consume at least once a week in eye-watering quantities.

Drinks

Large quantities (6-15 cups) of black tea (Yorkshire Tea) every day, with a little skimmed milk and no sugar.

Alcohol?

No – it doesn’t apeal at all.  I used to drink a lot as a student but now it just makes me feel like shit so I avoid it like the plague.  Having said that I do plan on having an Asahi Japanese beer later today but its the first drink I’ve had in 2 months (that was a small weak cocktail).
