Here are some key factors that have helped me on the way.
This is what I eat the majority of the time. I cook all of my own meals and know what is going in them, that’s important.
Olive oil.
Spinach.
Almonds or all kind of nuts.
Fresh tuna steaks.
Multi grain or whole grain breads and pastas.
Protein, protein, protein!
Chicken, lean steaks and burgers.
All the Fresh fruits and vegetables as you want!
Omega 3 enriched Eggs every morning(3), sometimes French toast made with multi grain protein bread.
Brown rice.
Oat meal.
All kind of beans.
Whole grain cereals.
All I drink is water. Coffee in the morning, a few cups are good for you.
Milk, cheese…Not to much.
Foods I stay away from about 90% of the time.
Sugar. Not totally, I do get some sugar.
White breads, bagels, white pasta, whole grain pasta is just as good.
Bad Carbs. Pizza is one of my weaknesses, im Italian, what can I do.
No junk food, chips, cupcakes, you know them all.
I drink once a week if my lucky. And I like to drink.
How and when I eat.
I eat about 6-7 times a day. Every 2-3 hours.
I always have a good mix of carbs and protein in my meals.
3 to 4 parts in the meal. Meat or fish. Vegetables. Brown rice or grain pasta. Spinach almost all the time. Its easy to make something different every time you eat.so it does not get boring.
Protein shake before I go to bed. Low carb and low fat slow digesting protein check out my current protein I use on my page. I use this protein also after my workouts.
I cheat at least twice a weak. I don’t go crazy but ill have some pizza for a meal or some wings and things like that. A cheat day can be good for your system and can boost your metabolism. 5 days of great eating then one day of eating whatever you want. Don’t get nuts tho!
Supplements
Fish oil
Strong multi V
Protein shakes.
Amino acids.
The protein I use now Matrix 5.0 has it all!!!!
I did BSN Cellmass for 8 weeks, it was nice. I am cycling off creatine now. Its been about 4 weeks. I might go back on it.
Also so did No xplode..Good stuff! Have not used it in 2 months tho.
Now I just use the protein and xtend. And a good high protein breakfast before my workout. And I can go 2 hours strong.
Right after my workout
I have a serving of xtend
A protein shake
Cereal bar = You need those fast carbs after a work out.
I eat a nice meal about an hour later
I few last thoughts
What ever you weight drink that much water in Ounces a day.
Same with protein. A gram per pound.
Give it time for all of these things that I have talked about in this article to work as one and you will see the difference!!!

Good write up. I hate cutting out pasta, because it is so easy to make (I’m terrible at food prep and cooking.)
