Meal 1:

3 hard boiled eggs

3 slices of wheat toast with a little smuckers jelly:  Please note the value of consistency here.  I know what I like, I know what is convenient and I stick with it because it works for me.  I think if more people adopted this philosophy they could get themselves on the road to getting the best body their genetics and life style would allow them to.  But instead they are like all those overweight people at Trader Joe's who stand in the way reading labels crying over trans fats and how much better they are than you because they eat organic.  My favorite is when you see their carts stuffed with pretzels, cookies and ice cream because it doesn't have  high fructose corn syrup when you buy it at Joe's.  I guess this is because natural sugar won't make your butt as big.    Problem is in their misguided effort to find the fountain of middle age they don't realize they won't live very long if I run them over in an effort to get my beef jerky and get the hell out of there. 

Meal 2:

2 scoops of chocolate protein powder mixed with ice and water

2 gala apples

1 oz. raisins

Meal 3:

1 baked potato mashed with 1 1/2 cups cauliflower and mixed with 2 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp sea salt

1 can albacore tuna

Meal 4:

Turkey on whole wheat with lettuce, tomato, and lots of spicy mustard (I got this from McCafferty's. It was terrible.  Not the store but the sand which.   I was stuck in a bind because I took on an extra client this afternoon and didn't bring a 4th meal to work.   I needed something supportive to my goals that was quick and convenient and that I could eat on my way to S.A.V.E so the salad bar really didn't fit the bill.   The problem was there was a new kid behind the counter and he used the cheap turkey, not the boars head.  The turkey was way too gelatinous, if that is even a word.  The saving grace was he slapped enough spicy mustard on it that was at least edible.  My theory is if  you have enough spicy mustard  you could make Abe Vigoda on Rye taste good.  Nonetheless it was a lower calorie choice than Pizza, Wings, or any of the other calorie dense stuff they have the food bar that they drown in butter, oil, sugar and fat in order for it to "taste" good.  

Meal 5:

250 grams London broil steak (from last nights marinade.  This tasted awesome)

Super Salad

18 Nathans fries  with sea salt and pepper with ketchup on the side for "skinny dipping"*. 

 (The super salad is a fantastic "Secret".  You take 5 or 6 blades of Romaine Lettuce and then cut up 1/4 to 1/2 cucumber.  Put it in a salad spinner or a colander and rinse off all the grit and wax.  After you dry it off put in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon ken's lite creamy Cesar and 1 tablespoon ken's lite Cesar.  It is this creamy/non creamy Cesar tag team which really body slams your taste buds like a condiment version of hulk hogan in the steel cage at Madison Square Garden.  Give it a shot, you will not be disappointed.  Everyone who has tried this at my house loves it.  Granted it doesn't make the salad taste like vanilla bean Hagen dazz (sorry if I spelled this wrong but I don't eat it often enough to know it on a first name basis) mixed with chopped up holiday peanut butter cups, but it works.  

*People get their underwear all in a bunch about ketchup and I don't know why.  They claim it's all sugar and even worse it is HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP.   People need to calm down about condiments, it is unnecessary to get so excited about stuff like this.  The news flash of the day should be that ketchup has 15 calories per tablespoon.  Unless you drown your food in Ketchup like Elvis drowned himself in mayo during the Vegas years before he died on the toilet, well then you should be ok.  It's 15 calories people, that is not a whole heck of a lot of something, let alone enough of anything that is going to make a difference in the big picture. 

Hey Gang,

I have been asked this question by a lot of people;  "What do you eat on a daily basis?"  I assume this is because I am now half the man I used to be (yeah I know am stealing that from a Stone Temple Pilots song but you know what:  1. Original ideas are overated and 2.  Three Quarters of my clients have no idea who Stone Temple Pilots is).  Anyone who is interested in getting these on a somewhat daily basis please let me know. 

thanks

Mike

 Meal 1:

3 hard boiled eggs (I boil 15 at a time so they last 5 days.  I will pull 3 out of the fridge for a meal, peel them, crush them with a fork, microwave them to reheat and then add either sea salt or Tabasco for flavoring. 

2 slices of wheat bread, toasted with jelly on top (to satisfy my sweet fetish)  I used smuckers grape because it was on sale.  There is so little of it on the toast it really doesn't matter if it is "all sugar".  I have lost a ton of blubber eating that "all sugar" "every day". 

Meal 2:

2 scoops of protein powder mixed with ice and water (any brand will work, just find one you like the taste of, all the other stuff on the label is just marketing and hype and means nothing in the big picture)

2 gala apples

1 oz. raisins (You can use the mini snack pack raisins or get a small baggie/Tupperware and put in a small serving).

Meal 3:

1 can (7 oz.) albacore tuna fish

1 baked potato (1 medium microwaved for 4 minutes per side)

1 cup cauliflower/broccoli puree (I have no idea how much there actually was and with vegetables it doesn't really matter.  No person in their right mind is going to eat "too many" vegetables and get all jacked up and obese.  Even those evil carrots that are supposedly so high in sugar.  On a personal note, the deal with me and vegetables is that I don't really like them very much.  I have tried to brainwash myself by telling myself I do, but that just doesn't work.  It is probably because I think a loving/benevolent god should have made vegetables taste like ice cream since they are supposed to be so good for us.  I am still angry at God about that one but so I digress.  I use the puree since it makes it easy to mix them in with the potato and gets rid of the weird texture of the cauliflower)

2 teaspoons olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon seat salt (I mix the vegetable puree with a smashed up baked potato and then add sea salt and olive oil.  If you want you can add a little ketchup.  It gets me my carbs and veggies and also satisfies my salty, fatty, french fry fetish).

Meal 4:

1 bag of beef jerky (I ran out of steak and will have to buy more tomorrow and then marinate it so I will have to have beef jerky again tomorrow.  The steak serving for a guy my size is 250 grams and yes I do measure that out on a scale or I would easily overeat.  The only other food I have to do that with is pasta for the same reason)

4 Quaker white cheddar rice cakes (these satisfy my salty, crunchy, cheesy fetish the kind you would get from things like flavored popcorn, Doritos or potato chips)

*Note:  If I had steak available and chose a starch I would use either use the cheddar cakes again or 200 grams of pasta with tomato sauce or potato again.  If I used pasta of potato I would microwave a couple cups of spinach, slice it up with a knife, add in only 1 teaspoon of olive oil because the beef has more fat than the tuna, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and then mix that in with the pasta or potato.

Meal 5:

Tilapia on the Foreman grill (season with salt and pepper, you can put Tabasco or ketchup if you want)

Nathans frozen french fries, about 14 of them (when these are done I put sea salt on them and ketchup on the side.  These taste a lot like a less greasy version of real french fries so you get a little more of that salty, fatty, french fry fetish taken care of again.  Basically you heat your toaster oven up full blast, 450 I think, and put aluminum foil on the pan after you crumble it a little to ensure the fries cook evenly.  Spray the foil with Pam and then add fries.  Cook for about 20 minutes).

1 cup of green beans (If I was in the mood I could of instead had romaine salad with cucumber and 1 tablespoon each of ken's light creamy Cesar and regular light Cesar)
