Dieting on deployment
A question for you guys here in Iraq and Afghanistan—How are dealing with your diet while deployed over here. I’d personally like to think I’m doing OK, but there still a lot of temptation to go for the bad stuff. I probably should just stick to the salad bar, but I don’t like tomatoes and mushrooms, and some of the other stuff is drowned in mayonnaise or other stuff to touch. They do have tuna, but I question the quality of the stuff the serve here.. So how are you handleling it?

yo bro, you are deployed? Hang in there, I was wondering the same thing, what is the diet for a bbuilder like over there?

dieting is pretty easy out here. just stay away from the fried stuff, rice, bread, potatoes, and pasta. I don’t eat any of that stuff and i’m overloaded at every meal. a lot of fruit and vegetables and a little bit of meat. It’s easy to do at any meal. how are your workouts coming along?

I had a relative who went over a little skinny dude and came back a monster. He said that all they did was work out. It can be done.

If you are on a regular base over there you should be ok on diet unless things have changed drastically. When I was there they had chicken breast and eggs for breakfast. Take extra unless they are going to have lean protein during your other meals.
Also, ask for package tuna to be sent over in care packages. I lived on this stuff that was sent to me. I was on a firm base and rarely got to eat in a chow hall. Our veggies were bought from the locals.
You can do it.
