How would I describe myself: Outgoing, friendly, funny, athletic, intelligent, sensitive, driven, focused, caring. | This is an example of the diet format that I follow when preparing for a show. On-season diet Plan: Beginning 10 weeks out from show. Meal 1: 8 egg whites
˝ cup oatmeal
2 teaspoons of flax oil
teaspoon of fish oil Meal 2: 8 egg whites or protein shake depending on where I am contest.
˝ cup oatmeal Meal 3: 4oz chicken breast
1 cup brocolli or spnach Meal 4: Protein Shake or 4oz chicken breast depending on where I am contest Meal 5: Post – training
Protein Shake
2 caramel rice cakes Meal 6: 5oz chicken breast
1 cup brocolli or spinach Every 5 days- I boost my carbs by adding in 1 cup of yams and another serving of
Oatmeal. This keeps my metabolism from slowing down. I may also substitute some salmon or extra lean steak 1x every 7-10 days for some Extra fats. I find it keeps my cravings down. I allow my self scheduled cheats up until 3 weeks out. I will only reward myself if my body is on schedule for the goals I have set. For example if I have dieting for 4 weeks and I achieve my goal body fat for that point or if I am ahead of schedule than I will allow a cheat. I might then allow myself some pizza or a piece of cheesecake. I will also use this as my high day then as well. Not everyone can do this. I am fortunate to be blessed with a fast metabolism that enables me to lose fat very fast. Once I am 3 weeks out, I do not allow any more of these cheats as I don’t want to retain water from the sodium. A lot of my dieting is now instinctive because I know my body really well. I pick up on subtle signals and I make changes accordingly. Supplements: L-Glutamine- 10grams per day
Vitamin C 2000mg per day
Vitamin E 1000 Iu per day
