This is not to lose weight! I don’t believe in “diets”! I know my body very well and this is what I think it needs. Yours could be VERY different to mine and as such, you should not eat exactly what I eat.The supplements, those you do need… maybe even at higher quantities.

Diet
At 6:20am drank a litter of water with 2 servings of glyconutrients and half a serving of an Energy & Endurance Formula that is perfect for athletes. (15.4 calories)

At 7:45am a liter of water with a Whey Protein Blend. I also took a Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplement, a Antioxidant Supplement, a Phytosterol Supplement, and an omega 3 supplement (essential fatty acids commonly found in fish). (71 calories)

At 8am I ate three poached eggs with a toast.

Many people, including nutritionists recommend this practice because of the cholesterol in egg yolk. But recent studies have found that cholesterol in the diet does not increase cholesterol levels in the blood. Instead, it is trans-fats that were found to increase cholesterol levels in the blood. I believe that egg yolk has beneficial and essential fatty acids. I didn’t eat them because I just had an omega 3 supplement and probably eating them at this time would be unnecessary. (116 calories)

At 11:50am I ate two poached eggs and an apple. (209 calories)

At 2:10pm I ate one poached egg and an apple. (131 calories)

At 3:50pm I ate an apple. (53 calories)

At 5pm I ate an apple. (53 calories)

At 6:50pm I ate an apple. (53 calories)

At 8:30pm I drank a liter of water with a Whey Protein Blend. I also took a Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplement, a Antioxidant Supplement, a Phytosterol Supplement, and an omega 3 supplement (essential fatty acids commonly found in fish). (71 calories)

At 9:15pm I ate double salmon patty sandwich (710 calories):

Two toasts with mayo
2 slices of cheese
1 jalapeño
Yes, the picture is not correct. There were no carrots or tomatoes. There were two full patties and not 1.5 and a couple of cheese slices, not just one.

4 liters of water

4 liters of water

Besides the two liters of water that mentioned I drank four liters of bottled water, three of which had two servings of Advanced Glyconutrients and a half serving of an Energy & Endurance Formula that is perfect for athletes. (43.5 calories)

I ate a total of 1526 calories. Today was an good balance to yesterday’s moderately high to high glycemic meals. Looking back, I noticed that I’m missing vegetables. I will be sure to eat GREEN vegetables tomorrow. My last meal was way too late. I don’t like to eat past 8pm. Although many nutritionists or trainers will say that it gets converted into fat because you go to sleep o whatever, I don’t eat it for one main reason: it can hinder your sleep. Try to go to sleep at least a couple of hours after your last meal. You want to be completely relaxed when you sleep. If your body is still working hard to digest what you just ate, it will do what it possibly can to not go to sleep until the food is digested.

Exercise
Sprint training

This is not to lose weight! I don’t believe in “diets”! I know my body very well and this is what I think it needs. Yours could be VERY different to mine and as such, you should not eat exactly what I eat.The supplements, those you do need… maybe even at higher quantities.

Diet
At 7:30am I drank two liters* of water:

Whey Protein and Supplements

Whey Protein and Supplements

One plain and the other with a Whey Protein Blend. I also took a Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplement, a Antioxidant Supplement, a Phytosterol Supplement, and an omega 3 supplement (essential fatty acids commonly found in fish). (71 calories)
* I actually drank two of those blue containers which is more like a liter and a half.

 

At 8am I ate a one egg, two egg white, turkey ham omelet with a couple of tablespoons of cottage cheese, a toast w/ half a serving of peanut butter, and a cup of soy milk. (418 calories)

Turkey Ham Omelet

Turkey Ham Omelet

At 12:15pm I ate a turkey ham sandwich. Obviously there were two slices of toast along with 2 slices of turkey ham, half a serving of mayonnaise, half a serving of mustard, and 1 slice of cheese. (307 calories)

At 2:30pm I ate an apple (red). (53 calories)

At 5:30pm I ate scoop of ice cream (butter pecan). (190 calories)

At 6:30pm I ate two (one serving) chew-able kids’ multivitamin/multimineral. (45 calories)

At 7pm I ate two tuna salad plates:

Tuna Salad

What is pictured here is for a lot more than the two plates I had. It is canned tuna with mayo, baby carrots, corn kernels, jalapeños, and jalapeño juice.
Normally I include A LOT of lettuce or spinach but I did not have any at home. I also had a cup of Sprite. (I don’t have any clue how many calories my servings had)

 

 

 

At 8:30pm I ate two scoops of ice cream (butter pecan). (380 calories)

4 liters of water

4 liters of water

Besides the two liters of water that mentioned I drank four liters of bottled water, three of which had two servings of Advanced Glyconutrients and a half serving of an Energy & Endurance Formula that is perfect for athletes. (43.5 calories)

Without considering the calories in the tuna salad (100 calories for Sprite are included), I ate a total of 1608. How much could it have had? Who knows, but more importantly… Who cares? The things to consider here are that it was a fairly high glycemic day. I will have to compensate tomorrow and go a little more lower glycemic than usual. The Sprite, the second serving of tuna salad, the carrots and corn in the tuna salad, and the second scoop of ice cream are what’s bothersome. One scoop of ice cream, with plenty of distance before and after it is low glycemic. But a second scoop soon after a first (or in my case at the same time) makes this a very high glycemic snack.

As mentioned on yesterday’s post:

This is not to lose weight! I don’t believe in “diets”! I know my body very well and this is what I think it needs. Yours could be VERY different to mine and as such, you should not eat exactly what I eat.The supplements, those you do need… maybe even at higher quantities.

Diet
At 10am (more or less) I drank a liter of water with a Whey Protein Blend. I also took a Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplement, a Antioxidant Supplement, a Phytosterol Supplement, and an omega 3 supplement (essential fatty acids commonly found in fish). (71 calories)

At 10:15am I ate a one egg, two egg white omelet with two tablespoons of cottage cheese and a cup of soy milk. (253 calories)

At 3pm I ate salmon patty sandwich (626 calories):

Salmon Sandwhich

Salmon Sandwhich

Two toasts with mayo and mustard
1 slice cheese
1/3 tomato (two slices)
Small bag of baby carrots (side)
Cup of Sprite (normally don’t drink anything during meals but had it left over and it’s been a while since I drank soda)

 

 

 

At 5:30pm I ate a scoop of ice cream (cookie dough). (190 calories)

At 8:15pm I drank a chocolate-strawberry shake (555 calories):

2 cups soy milk, 1 cup strawberries, 13 almonds (I don’t measure just get small handful), chocolate-flavored meal replacement shake, and a Whey Protein Blend.

 

At 8:30pm I ate two (one serving) chew-able kids’ multivitamin/multimineral. (45 calories)

chewable vitamins for kids

chewable vitamins for kids

The awesome thing about this is that I just gave myself more nutrition with these two little “candies” than with any other meal today! Each serving (two) of these chew-able supplements contains as much vitamin A as two fresh apricots, as much niacin as 5 medium sized carrots, as much vitamin D as 4 cups of milk, as much vitamin B12 as 60 ounces of chicken, as much vitamin E as 10.75 cups of kiwi, among MANY other nutrients (too many to list here).

I ate a total of 1740 calories but, as was the case yesterday, almost everything is low glycemic with the exception of the carrots and the Sprite. Stay away from carrots and sprite (I really hope you already knew about this one) if you are trying to eliminate body fat. Believe it or not, whole wheat bread is low glycemic (as is multi-grain; most other types of breads are medium to high glycemic). I also drank 2 liters of water in addition to what is mentioned above.

Exercise
About half an hour walk (one lap around each of eight lanes in a standard track).

Diet for Monday, March 22, 2010

It’s been about two weeks since I got a little off track. I stopped preparing food to take to school, I have eaten at some restaurants, and have almost completely stopped doing exercise.

On Sunday I said I would stop this and return to a healthy lifestyle. We all “sin” and it’s okay… As long as we don’t get used to it and we remind ourselves that it isn’t normal to eat like that.

I will share with you what I eat all week. :) I hope you like it. I forgot to take pictures yesterday and this morning during breakfast. But I promise I will take pictures of EVERYTHING from now on. AND I’M COMPLETELY AGAINST CALORIES BUT I KNOW IT’S THE ONLY WAY SOME PEOPLE THINK (that’s why I include them).

This is not to lose weight! I don’t believe in “diets”! I know my body very well and this is what I think it needs. Yours could be VERY different to mine and as such, you should not eat exactly what I eat.The supplements, those you do need… maybe even at higher quantities.

Diet
As soon as I woke up I drank a liter (32oz) of water. (0 calories)

At 7:30am (more or less) I drank a liter of water with a Whey Protein Blend. I also took a Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplement, a Antioxidant Supplement, a Phytosterol Supplement, and an omega 3 supplement (essential fatty acids commonly found in fish). (71 calories)

At 8am I ate natural yogurt with a handful of granola, an apple (red) cut up into squares no bigger than half my thumb, and a spoonful of honey. (Honey has a high glycemic index and should be avoided for those trying to burn body fat). (513 calories)

At 12:30pm I ate two apples (red). (106 calories)

At 2:40pm I ate one apple (red). (53 calories)

At 4pm I ate one apple (red). (53 calories)

At 5pm I ate a scoop of ice cream (cookie dough). (Ice cream is a low glycemic food when eaten between meals – two hours before or after any meal. I ate it because the apples I had eaten all day were digested fairly quickly and it’s likely that my stomach was already empty). (190 calories)

At 7pm I ate three quesadillas (small corn tortilla w/ mozzarella cheese) with A LOT of spinach (spinach inside the quesadillas, like tacos). (356 calories)

At 9:15pm I drank two liters of water (one with Whey Protein Blend and another one plain). I also took a Multivitamin and Multimineral Supplement, a Antioxidant Supplement, a Phytosterol Supplement, and an omega 3 supplement (essential fatty acids commonly found in fish). (71 calories)

At 9:30pm I ate a scoop of ice cream (rocky road). (190 calories)

Besides the three liters of water that mentioned I drank four liters of bottled water, three of which had two servings of Advanced Glyconutrients and a half serving of an Energy & Endurance Formula that is perfect for athletes. (43.5 calories)

I ate a total of 1646.5 calories yesterday. But more important than that is that almost everything that I ate (with the exception of honey and tortillas) were items with a low glycemic index. The supplements are necessary because it is IMPOSSIBLE to get all of the nutrients that you need from food alone. I eat apples a lot because it is easiest for me to take when I have to go out of the house. The plastic used for the bottled waters are very, very bad for your health. I drink from glass when at home but I haven’t found a suitable substitute for bottled water when I have to step out (especially when I have to go to school and I take 4 liters with me each day). Water is VERY important and you should drink AT LEAST 2 liters a day (optimal amount is to drink, in ounces, what you weigh in kilos).

Exercise
I did biceps (hammer curls) at home when I arrived from school.
