to break it down as simply as I can:
Eat every3 hours , 6-7 times a day. First meal is after cardio upon waking up (45-60 minutes fast walking). Each meal will have one portion carbs and one portion protein, and a water veggie (1/2 cup broccoli usually for me).
Carb sources: oatmeal (plain--I'll usually put in a small packet of Equal for a little sweetness), rice cakes (sodium free), plain baked potato.
Protein sources: plain icky tuna (yuck), protein shakes mixed with water, plain grilled chicken breast (boneless/skinless), plain turkey breast. I like to put a tad bit of salsa on my chicken/turkey breasts for some flavor. Also, mustard/hot sauce/buffalo sauce is great because there's no carbs, calories. or fats in them.
My ratio was (carbs/prot/fats): 45/45/10. Fats came from mostly what was found in my meats, and I also mixed in a tablespoon flaxseed oil in any protein shake I had.
Drink tons of water until I practically pee water.
In the entire 6 weeks I had one cheat meal. Arby's was having a sale: 5 Beef n' Cheddars for $5.95. Can't beat that!
