Where do I start?
Where do i start with my diet? I'm not particularly interested in a weight lose diet, although if that happened it would be a nice bonus as i do carry some excess fat, I do not want to add any weight. I would like to know if I have the right stuff going in. I have a physical job so my packed lunch is important, not just in nutritional value but also important that I don't go hungry. Nothing worse than working hard with a rumbling belly!! Today’s food has been typical for me so I'll write that down to give you ideas of what I am eating day to day.
2 ham, tomato and cucumber sarnies on white sliced
1 apple
1 banana
1 fat free yoghurt (activa brand)
10 or so cherry tomatoes
10 seafood sticks
4 ryvita which low fat laughing cow cheese spread
Tonight we'll be having a roast dinner with pork chop, veg, gravy etc (no roast potatoes)
I'll probably snack on either 2-4 toast low fat flora spread, fat free yoghurt , or bowl cereals with skimmed milk. (2 of these options on a bad day!)
To drink I'll usually have a few cups of coffee with skimmed, a half pint of skimmed milk and a pint of squash. Also regular drinks of water whilst in the gym.
Jesus I've never written it down before
I lift moderate to heavy 5-6 days per week. (4 years with a break of 7 months)
I play rugby and associated training 4-6 hrs per week
I am 6'1''
17st 5Ib
I am managing to maintain this weight +/- 5Ib.
