jarek.pski Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Hi fellow hubbers... I have a small request from all those reading this... Can you post your daily eating regime (healthy) what you eat and at more or less what time? how long it keeps you away from chow? and what are the benefits to yourselves. I know I could google this and see but I need something that has been tried by others and works, I'm looking to stay healthy and perhaps loose a few kilos. I'm also aware that not everything works for everybody, but I'd like options. Let me start: early morning (07h00) protein shake (1-2 bananas, other fruit, youghurt and a table spoon of jam + Evox whey protein) Lunch time at work is either 4 slices of low GI / whole wheat bread with peanut butter and jam, or cheese and chicken toasties or lunch tin full of mixed fruit After work (around 5pm) dinner that usually comprises of pasta (all home made) and that usually happens after my 20-25km training session Not sure if I'm doing it right...

Guest eyecandy Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Well, for a start id say u having too much fruit. Its full of sugar.
Wyatt Earp Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Wake up-Coffee and rusks or Rainbow cookies.Breakfast-Maltabella, hot cross bun with peanut butter and jam and a doughnut.Early morning snack-Coffee and cookies or chocolate.Lunch-previous nights dinner left-overs.Mid afternoon snack-Dorito's and a bunch of water.Supper-Trinchado or chicken or fish or steak or mince and veg or salad.Before bed snack-Caffeine free coffee and rusks.
chris_w_65 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Yes, fruit is full of calories. Bananas are quite high. Protein shake also has way too many calories.
chris_w_65 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) With what I eat you could probably maintain 70kg or maybe lose slightly. If you cut out the pasta, cheese and banana you will lose 500g/week BreakfastWake up - 2 wheetbix with 100ml fat free yogurtAfter gym or ride - 2 wheetbix with 100ml fat free yogurt snack - small banana 60gsnack - small banana 60g Lunch1 tin tuna in brine120g pasta1 pepper1/3 cucumber1/2 small onion2 small tomato snack - plum or nectarinesnack - plum or nectarine DinnerAvocado 200g130 - 150g skinless baked/steamed/smoked chicken breast200g mixed veg100g beetroot/pickled onion/pickled cucumber snack - plum or nectarinesnack - plum or nectarinesnack - 25 - 30g cheese Lots of coffee but no sugar or milk - none after 4pm Edited March 30, 2011 by chris_w_65
chris_w_65 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 This is what not to eat, you can clearly tell my mate isn't a cyclist Well. 1 scoop or 80g of shake of mine are 389 Cal with WaterI drink 4 scoops of that so 320g of shake = 1556 Cal and I drink it with milk. So I would say maybe 1800/2000 calories come from my shake only I drink 2 cans of coke, 2 chicken breasts, 1 snickers, 2 pieces of Ouma rusks, 3 bowls of Coco pops with Full cream milk, a handful of wine gums, and the odd sandwich in between.I would say around 4000 or so. I would need to increase my calories if I want to up my weight, currently on 92kgs and 13% BF.
MaddyRich Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Dont know what Im doing wrong then! Im 1.84m and weigh 83-84kgs, cant seem to loose the last 8ish kgs. Breakfast: 1 cup Muesli and low fat milk with a banana.Mid Morning: Sometimes a green appleLunch: Salad (2 cups) with either a tin of tuna (in brine) or a skinless chicken breast or corn thins with avo or tuna mayo.Mid Afternoon: Either 2 rice cakes or pieces of rye with cheese, cream cheese, tuna or avo. (Probably my downfall)GYM: ranges from 3 to 5 sessions a week for average of 1h30 to 2h00 of cardioDinner: 2 cups - Strir frys, salads, lean meats etc. Hardly ever have rice/potatoes/pasta or oily stuff (nothing ever fried)- never have seconds or desert. Probably have 3-4 cups of coffee (1 sugar)and 1l of water a day, 2l on gym days If I stop exercising I can pick up like 2kgs a week!!

Grebel Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) This is working for me: Wake up and 3 Muscle Science Ripped EFX tabs with a glass of waterTrain for 1 hour (Gym or cycle) one serving L-Glutamine when I get homeBreakfast 50g Future life and maybe scrambled egg and an apple with a glass of water Mid morning snack: USN Diet Fuel 1/2 hr before lunch 3 Muscle Science Ripped EFX tabs with a glass of waterLunch Left over supper consisting of Protien, carbs and veg (about a fistful of each)Large glass of water, tea or coffee Mid afternoon snack: 3 Muscle Science Ripped EFX tabs with a glass of water and 1/2 hr later USN Diet Fuel Dinner: protien, carbs and veg (all servings about the size of your fist) Drink about 3 litres of water a day Snack on nuts in the afternoon if required. Working for me so far. Losing about 500g to 1kg a week with enough energy to keep me going with the training and work. All meal are about 3 hours apart. Edit: I am 1,78m tall, weigh 90kg (not built for speed!) don't eat any refined carbs stick with brown rice and paste and sweet potatoes if possible. Edited March 30, 2011 by Grebel

Watch out the mayo, even the "low fat" mayo is full of fat/calories. Try Miracle Whip Light or even better Knorr Lite Yogurt and Herb dressing
pastapouch Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Hello fatties... 4 am slice of toast + honey if I do swimming intervals otherwise at 6:30 as well 6:30 slice of toast + butter, boiled eg, fruit juice, tea/coffee 9 ish slice of low gi bread + slice of ham + cheese 11 fruit 1pm pasta /rice + mince/chicken/fish + fruit 3:30 pm slice of low gi bread + slice of ham + cheese Dinner pasta /rice + mince/chicken/fish
chris_w_65 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Watch out the avo, I find the average weight of the avos I eat with no skin or pip is around 200g, that is 15% of my daily calories just for the avo Tuna in brine is excellent, one tin is 100 calories. Watch out the tuna in oil though, the same size tin is 240 calories
jarek.pski Posted March 30, 2011 Author Posted March 30, 2011 (edited) Ok Imma hav to print all this out and come to a conclusion on what to eat. Now another question: In the long run does starving yourself work? I've heard mixed stories... @Cervelo: what's your weight? I'm a 176cm and weight around 86-89kg, and I don't feel tired or as if I'm carrying excess fat p.s I roughly consume 2-3l of water per day, more during workouts and outrides during weekends Edited March 30, 2011 by jarek.pski
