Hidden/Deleted Member	Jul 02, 2007 8:52 PM GMT Quote Great idea for a thread! In order of consumption: 1 pasta 2 broccoli 3 apples 4 oranges 5 bananas 6 carrots 7 sweet peppers 8 tomatoes 9 chicken 10 milk ya srsly. Can you say, "Health FREAK?" I guess this isn't too uncommon on realjock. God I love realjock. Broccoli isn't actually all that great for me, because I have a family history of kidney stones. Must... cut.. back.. on.. broccoli.. but it's so delicious. I'm hiding the fact that # 11 is bacon and # 12 is butter drenched bacon.

Hidden/Deleted Member	Oct 06, 2007 11:59 PM GMT Quote mascjockatl, read up on insulin regulation. It'll make more sense to you then. As well, the saying goes, "You have to fuel the furnace." I bring my calories UP pre-contest, but, I clean them up, and I keep my insulin / blood sugar lower for pre-contest. It's NOT about calorie deprivation, but, rather, metabolism activation. I bring my protein way up. I bring my fats up (poly and mono), well, maybe not really bring them up, but, keep them in, and without sugar in my diet......'cept post workout....those carbs do a glycogen load. I do interval stairs (no endless hours of cardio) to blast my metabolism up 6 pacs of grits a day (22 grams of carb each just go keeping my brain working). Without sugar, calories drop of fast. Ever try eating 4500 calories a day with no sugar and 60 grams of fat? It's hard. In fact, it takes about 12 meals.

Staples in my diet are: Broccoli - this stuff is good steamed or stir fried with Pam fat free spray and makes me so incredibly regular..it's better than prunes for me. Asparagus - Acts as a mild diuretic to help rid myself of excess water retention Watermelon - The fruit and the seeds are also good to keep the kidneys functioning. Apples - I mix these along with other fruits for healthy smoothies along with protein powder. Apples with the skin left on are very high in pectin, antioxidants and other healthy nutrients. Rice milk - Better than soy and better tasting than cow's milk. Excessive soy intake can hamper with a man's hormone profile and mess with estrogen levels. I have to watch out for that. Activia yogurt - Beneficial cultures to aid digestion and other cultures are good for maintaining a healthy gut. MCT/Fish/Vegetable Oils - I group these as one. I take coconut oil, I buy cashew butter and cook some foods with olive oil for my fat intake. I get roughly 4TBSP total a day of fat from these sources everyday. Protein powder - whey and or egg protein powder. I sometimes mix them together for a slower release of protein in my body or sometimes I have only the egg protein when I want to have a quickly absorbed protein. Eggs - I eat roughly 8 egg whites a day and about 2 or 3 egg yolks a day mixed in. The yolks are good in moderation and offer substantial nutrition. Meats - I buy chicken either canned for easy preparation but rinse it off to get most of the sodium out or I sometimes buy an entire chicken for roasting, broiling or boiling and cut away the fat and skin myself. I don't eat red meat but do eat chicken and fish. I don't buy processed chicken or turkey as my registered nutritionist informed me that lunch meats have been linked with certain cancers so I only eat non processed meats. Hey, may I suggest you guys go back and edit your post and briefly explain why you choose the certain foods that you eat? Sort of the way I did with mine. I'm curious to know. Aside from eating junk food of course, that's just for pleasure and is obvious.

rustispassion... Posts: 46	Jul 08, 2008 2:58 AM GMT Quote I'm just getting the hang of this whole eating thing.... Living in a dorm room makes it very hard to eat well, because I have a quarter of the refrigerator space and an eighth of the shelf room. But instead of bingeing on beer and ramen, I'm going for these when I head out to the store: Boneless skinless chicken breasts Lean ground turkey Black Beans Mixed Nuts Frozen fruits, specifically frozen peaches and raspberries Wheat Thins Baby Carrots Apples Yogurt, but only if it doesn't have any corn syrup or equivalents in it. I've been eating a lot of SoyBaby yogurt...its made for babies, but it's the only yogurt I can find without the evils of corn syrup. Cheddar Cheese Anyone have any suggestions for good, quick, and healthy dorm recipes?
