My typical food day – you ARE what you eat!

I tell my clients, family, and friends that 80% of how you look is based on what you put in your body.  The other 20% is how well you take care of it.  The follow-up question I get is “what do you eat?”

The following is a very typical food day for me.  I am a creature of habit, so I

eat almost the same thing every day. Even if I “cheat” at dinner on the weekends, my breakfast, lunch, and snacks usually stay the same. I change up the variety every once in a while, but ultimately below is a very typical week for me.

Keep in mind this is based on my height (I’m taller than the average man), my weight, and my weight training goals.

I eat EVERY 2 – 3 HOURS and at least 20g of protein per serving.  Based on my height, weight, and goal to develop strong, lean muscle, my goal is at least 1.5g of protein per lb.  I love veggies and try to add them in whenever I can.  On the weekends, I’ll throw veggies into an omelet too!  Fresh spinach is great for sneaking into shakes because you can’t taste it!
