Hi! A lot of people have asked me about my diet this summer/autumn (summer and autumn in Norway that is…). I guess this is not the right place to write this, but could not find any other suitable place to write it in my profile…..sorry about that  My English is not very good, but I’ll try to explain how I do my diet anyway.  If you should follow this diet, you must of course regulate the calories from different food-sources to your weight.  

I actually eat like this year-round - but off-season I eat a lot more carbs, and a bit more fat. 
I start out 12-16 weeks out of the date were I’m supposed to be in shape.I eat 7 meals a day - plus one small protein-shake in the middle of the night.Basically the meals look like this (I’m used to name the amount in grams - so you’ll have to excuse that…). You can eat most kinds of meat and fish, and different kinds of carb-sources - so this is just an idea on how it can be done.

Meal 1 (06:00): 60g protein, 70g oat and 10-15g Udos Choise oil in shake (approx 40g carbs)

Meal 2 (09:00): 250g salmon, 75g rice (cooked) or two slices of crisp-bread (approx 20g carbs)

Meal 3 (12:00): 250g chicken, 100g rice (cocked) and 100g mixed vegetables (approx 30g carbs)

Meal 4 (14:30): 250g chicken, 75g rice (cocked) and 150g mixed vegetables (approx 30g carbs)

Meal 5 (17:00): 250g salmon, 150g rice (cooked) and 200g vegetables (approx 50g carbs)

Meal 6 - after workout (19:30): 60g protein in shake, 8 rice-cakes (approx 40 g carb)

Meal 7 (22:00): Omelette with 2-3 whole eggs and 6 egg whites, and two slices of crisp-bread (approx 20g carbs)

“Meal 8″ (03:00): 40g proteins in shake. 

* Amount of carb in cooked rice: 100g uncooked rice (approx 80g of carb) gives approx 300g of cooked rice. * The amount of fat is 60-80g. * The amount of proteins from meat/fish/powder is approx 375g 

*Once a week I do eat as much as I want for breakfast and have a free meal in the afternoon.I adjust the energy intake by increasing or reducing the amount of carb so that my bodyweight is not reduced by more than 2 (3 at most) pounds a week. The numbers above is the amount of carbs that gives me that kind of a weight loss.  A lot of people would prefer to reduce the amount of proteins, and take it in as carbs instead. That’s not a bad way to do it, but my experience is that my body responds best on a low-carb diet. The choice is yours!
