TPower81’s BodyBlog

A lot of people have been asking me about my diet and giving me a lot of good comments on how my physique has developed.  First off, thank you all for these comments.  Its great to hear and really helps motivate me to keep it up.

A typical day of eating for me is 6-7 meals.  On workout days I take in 2 scoops of whey and additional carbs.  I’ve been going low carb for my cut and now am starting to introduce more carbs into my diet to help clean bulk.  90% of the time during the week I will eat the following:

6am Breakfast

1/2 cup oatmeal, 5 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 1 cup green beans, 10 almonds, 4oz lean meat.

8:30 PWO

1/2 cup oatmeal, 1.5 scoops whey, 10 almonds

11:00 1st Lunch

1 cup green beans, 4-6oz lean meat, 10 almonds

1:30 2nd Lunch

1 cup green beans, 4-6oz lean meat, 10 almonds

4:00pm pre-dinner

1 cup green beans, 4-6oz lean meat, 10 almonds

6:30pm dinner

1 cup green beans, 4 oz lean meat, 10 almonds

8:30pm post dinner

protein shake

On NON-workout days I will start eating at 7am, 6 meals puts me at 8ish to eat my last meal.  Sometimes I will substitute tomatoes, edamame, onions, asparagus or broccolli for my veggies but green beans are a staple.  I eat roughly 10lbs of green beans a week.  If I’m a little hungrier than normal I will eat more veggies.  I always try and eat some fat with my meals.  I take fish oil capsules at every meal, and Cellmass before bead and on rise in the morning.

Thats about it…lol.  Pretty boring really.  The fun part is in seasoning the chicken, tuna, salmon, ground turkey and ground beef.  I try and keep it low sodium or at least if I’ve been taking in a lot of sodium the past few days I’ll clean off it for 3 days before taking in more.  I like to eat pretty simple, but stuff is still tasty.

 Lastly, I’m not doing competitions or anything serious, so its not a big deal to get a nice binge meal in here and there.  Yeah its not helping you achieve your goals but since bodybuilding is more of a hobby than anything for me, its not a big deal to only look better than 80% of the people out there instead of 81%.  In the grand scheme of things, this is life, enjoy it.  When cheating becomes so frequent that progress is halted, well thats where I draw the line.

My diet works to help achieve my goals, and so far has allowed me enough flexibility to enjoy eating still.  These are important things when choosing a diet.  It must help you achieve your goals and you must not hate it!
