Do you mean ACTUAL FOOD? Well that is simple.
Sources of protein are lean beef, chicken, fish, lowfat cottage cheese, turkey, peanut butter
Complex Carbohydrate = oatmeal, brown rice, yam
Fibrous Carb = VEGGIES
So just plug in any of those into the meal plan and viola - food for the day.
I NEVER have a problem while eating out. For breakfast or if the meal is earlier in the day, believe it or not I like to go to IHOP - they have plain oatmeal! For any other meal - ANY restaurant I have been to has always been MORE than happy to accomodate a request I have. ie - negate the rice pilaf and just give me extra veggies, or depending on how skimpy the serving of chicken is I just ask for twice the amount of meat.
I hope this helps....
EVERY DAY for meal one and sometimes two depending on where I am with training and how I look...I have
1C oatmeal
4 egg whites + 1 whole egg
1 packet of equal
bit of skim milk if I desire
coffee w/skim milk if I want
I LOVE THIS (I mix it all together) and cook it up in a little pot. It becomes almost like a lumpy custard. My kids think that I am waaaaaaaay gross, but it keeps me happy (how sad is that?!)
After that a meal can consist of anything from a MRP shake w/water or 1C of soy milk to a can of tuna and as many veggies as I can stuff in my stomach or 5-8 slices of turkey breast + lots of veggies.
Do I ever cheat? HELL YEA! After a shoot or at least once a week, I tend to indulge. Whether that is cookies or ice cream or lasagna doesn't really matter. It is only one day and as long as you don't GORGE YOURSELF it will not affect you. If I cheat more, than that means that I will have to diet harder and do more cardio so it matters how much I want it at the time. I also take breaks from cardio. Especially if I have been hitting it hard. I'll take several days off then gradually build back up depending on when my next shoot is.
1 gallon a water daily.
It is not rocket science. Consistency is the key. I already have the mass I want so now for me it is about maintanence. Once you have the mass, life will be soooooo much easier.
