I'd love to hear from all you guys to see what a typical day is for you re: meal choices.
Mine would be:
bkfst: protein bar or whey protein w/ skim milk
I workout after that
lunch: tuna w/ healthy choice mayo, some vegies cut up in it and 2 pc fruit and a fiber one bar or something like that
snack: 1 pc (1/2 oz) 70% dark chocolate
dinner: 2 vegies, chicken (baked), yam or potato and small salad
pm snack: 2 cups air pop pop corn or activia yogurt
 
In answer to your question this is what I'm supposed to eat :p I am on a low carb diet. I calorie cycle. I do allow myself a GF (gluten free) cookie after a hard morning of video at the construction site, its like a workout, and I do sweat. I use the enviro kids cereal to help the millet taste better than cardboard. After I run out, I plan to switch to buckwheat groats which are a warm breakfast cereal like oatmeal.

Low Calorie day (4 days/week)

Pre-Workout 2 eggs scrambled (30 min. before workout) or GF taquito
Post Workout:1/2 c. millet, So Delicious coconut milk, 1/3 c. enviro kids cereal (GF) 1/2 c. fruit, tbsp natural PB (or not.)

Lunch: 1 cup salad greens, olive oil, olives, protein chicken
Dinner: 1 cup salad greens, olive oil, protein

High calorie day:
Pre-Workout 2 eggs scrambled (30 min. before workout)
Post Workout:1/2 c. millet, coconut milk, 1/3 c. enviro kids cereal (GF) 1/2 c. fruit, tbsp natural PB

Lunch: 2 cups salad greens, olive oil, olives, protein (chicken)
Dinner: 1 cup steamed/sautee vegetables, olive oil, protein (pork or beef)

I think everyone on this forum eats ezekiel bread. I have made hummus from time to time, and just don't like it. I can just about stand it on a carrot stick but not for long. DH hates it more than anything and asks why I keep trying. LOL. But I wish I liked it, it's so healthy and seems like the perfect protein source for lunch on the go. Oh well. I guess you can't like everything. - Autumn
 
Breakfast: 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal with raisins, craisins, cinnamon and whey protein.
Mid Morning snack: 8-12 ounce whey protein drink...Jay Robb...25 grams of protein.
Lunch: chicken or turkey, raw veggies and a fruit.
Mid afternoon snack: 4 ounces of a protein source, a veggie and/or a fruit.
Late afternoon snack: walnuts or peacans
Dinner: Some sort of meat, veggies.

I eat mainly clean, with very little processed anything! No butter, half-n-half, etc.

I feel incredible!

Gayle, I've wanted to ask you this for a while. I get the raw milk thing. I get the eating real, whole foods thing. I get the eating healthy fats thing. But so much of the fat you are eating is unhealthy, saturated fat and you seem to be doing it with intent. I'm not talking about the eggs or the mayo, I'm talking about the whole milk, cheese, beef fat and butter (as opposed to using oil). Would you mind explaining your reasoning and "food philosophy"? I'm really not criticizing. It just seems to be going against everything we are taught and I wonder where your information comes from with regard to nutrition and health.

I love hummus, and there are so many ways you can make it. However, I wouldn't eat it on a carrot stick. Try it with romaine heart leaves, instead.
 
Hi morningstar - Yes, I am doing it with intent. Yes, it goes against the grain of everything we've been. But there is a lot of info supporting that what's been previously taught regarding saturated fat is...inaccurate, to say the least (formulated with cherry picked and manipuated data might be a better description). Here's some reading material about it (no way I could explain it sufficiently)

BTW, what I consume is almost all organic grass-fed, quality definitely counts.

The movie Fat Head, does a pretty entertaining explanation as well.

IN GENERAL:

BREAKFAST

1-2 eggs with Ezekiel toast and butter, steel cut oats with peanut butter, walnuts and banana or an organic cereal with almond milk or raw milk.

LUNCH

PB and J on Ezekiel, dinner leftovers, egg salad, whole wheat pasta, raw veggies on the side. Fruit, organic chocolate.

SNACK

Erewhon granola bar, or my current addiction, Trader Joe's unsalted organic tortilla chips and Newman's Own organic salsa. Maybe fruit with full-fat yogurt. Popcorn.

DINNER

White bean burgers, chili, pita bread pizza, chick peas with bulgur and chutney, curries, omelets, etc. Always with extra veg and salads.

I don't measure or "do" low-fat, low-carb etc. I don't formally count calories but I have a general idea just from experience. I avoid salt but not obsessively. I drink coffee, water, Honest Teas and a ton of hot tea.

My basic food philosophy is organic, whole, came from the ground or had a mother. I may be crazy but I find with this kind of eating I don't need to be a slave to my calories OR kill myself in the gym. My weight has been holding steady at 110 (I'm 5 ft) and around 12-13 percent body fat since the summer.

Gayle, ITA. I eat as much raw, organic, pasture-raised cheese and butter as I want.
