QUESTION FROM FISH IN BAHRAIIN......
here is what i eat regularly. let me know your opinion. for breakfast everyday i go to the touch and go cafe and get a double western omlette with OJ. i bring my own lunch and i have the ATO giving us pears and apples now. but i pack cold chicken breast, 2 hardboiled eggs and a 6oz. package of tuna in water and mixed nuts. for dinner, usually more chiken with lots of veggies and salads. then at night we been buying the frozen tropical fruit and mixing it with all natural pineapple juice in the blender with a scoop op whey protein powder and make a smoothie. feedback is wanted. post on my facebook page if possible.- fish
Alright Fish, heres my take on your diet. Now Im no nutrition Guru but I do understand how hard it is on deployment to find quality foods. High sugar fruit juice generally isn't good for you but you obviously have very little bodyfat, if any at all(LOL), so Im not concerned with the occassional insulin spike. Plus that post workout smoothie sounds like a great idea considering your active job and the fact that you do multiple WODS. Try to find some spinach, asparagus, romaine lettuce, almonds, avacados, celery, almond butter, steak, berries, olive oil, real butter, cucumbers, bell peppers, brocolli and zuchinni. Finally if they have coconut milk that would be a great source of natural fats. Hard to find but Amber can mail some cans to you along with jars of almond butter. Finally, Im a huge fan of whole milk. It irritates some peoples stomachs but if you are highly tolerant to lactouse drink it! I know the days are long and busy sometimes so the most important issue is getting enough nutritous foods into your system each day to fuel workouts and promote recovery. Keep up the good work bro and we will see you soon!
much love on the response bro! just completed 150 double unders and a 2.5 mile run outdoors. mainly it was for decorse. he ran it in 13:21!! AWESOME compared to when he first started. he is gonna kill the prt. and on the foods, most of the stuff u mentioned we are eating. we have the almonds,cashews,pistachios and all natural almond butter. just didnt throw that in there. been puttin spinach on stove and thrown tomoatoes and mixed veggies in it as well. i think i am doing ok on diet cuz i am feeling amazing dude! my power lifts are all going up. how is the tuna in package tho? its in water and has hardly any calories. so u would stay away from oj,carrot juice and pineapple juice with the smoothies? i am now taking double the fish oil pills a day along with vitamin d for calcium absorption and vitamin c for healthy bones. also have nick on the fish oil now too.loaded up on coconut milk from out in town as well. looks like i was alrady one step ahead of u on what to eat. dou drink the coconut milk by itself? i like to make a protein shake with it. put half that,half real milk, with a scoop of protein powder and cinamon and vanilla in a blender. tasted delicious. inroducing nick and jaime to sashimi out in town tonight. as always, keep in touch brother and feedback is loved!
ReplyDeleteWow good on Decorse!! That equates to a 5k in well under 18 minutes!! There aren't very many people that can do that. Tell him I said keep grinding! As always, good tips Andy. I'm becoming quite the chef. Health and fitness is rapidly taking over my thought process. I think it's starting to out weigh my business now. I haven't neen to my office in two days. My partners been keeping me updated lol. Everything seems to be on a more even keel now. Thanks for the push. Fish you will be ready for the games next year at the pace you're moving! I'll be there with all of you hopefully.
