My Food Journal - The Week of May 9th

Nutrition | May 15, 2016

I did my best to keep a good record of what I ate for the past week. I did not try to make the photos pretty (sorry for that), I just snapped a quick shot to document my own diet.

You can still use my own Food Journal as a template for your own weekly meal plan, but I really suggest you eat according to your own body-type.

I’m a mesomorph – athletic and muscular so I don’t have to always earn my carbs with a workout although I like doing that anyways because I tent to gain weight easily.

If you’re an endomorph – your body stores more fat and your goal is to get leaner or lose weight. You should definitely earn your carbs with a workout.

If you’re ectomorph – skinny, with very little muscle mass, then you don’t need to earn your carbs with a workout as long as those carbs come from natural sources like rice, potatoes, quinoa, whole grains, etc.

We should all exercise daily and avoid added sugar and junk food if we want to stay healthy and strong. If you do want to eat sugar and junk here and there, then at least earn it with your workout even if you’re naturally skinny. It will help you avoid lifestyle diseases such as diabetes.

Nutrition Guide with more info here. 

FM – Free meal that you can eat at any time of the day regardless of your body type

WEM – Workout earned meal, or a meal you should earn with your training if you’re either an endomorph or an endomesomorph (athletic person who gains weight easily).

DRINK A LOT OF WATER! I have a 800ml glass bottle that I refill 3x a day to make sure I drink about 2,5l of water every day. If you’re having a trouble to drink plain water, you can always flavor it with fresh lemon juice.

These are my supplements: Supreme greens, glucosamine, essential fatty acids, and my pre-workout protein blend with a natural fat burner.

Supplements

I’m someone that doesn’t eat veggies with every single meal, so I supplement with supreme greens almost daily. Jesse pours me a shot of glucosamine every morning because he want’s me to have healthy joints like his uncle who’s 80 years old and still goes skiing – that’s apparently because he takes glucosamine daily 🙂 Isn’t that sweet? I take the essential fatty acids quite often as well to maintain good balance of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, and I absolutely love my pre-workout drink.

    Hello Zuzka! Have been following you for many years, good job, you’re the best! I,ve notice that you have many recipes with meat. I became a vegetarian a year and a half ago, you could say I had an awakening concerning all the animal cruelty going on and just couldn’t eat meat anymore, as it was impossible emotionally knowing all the horrible treatments animals go throught so that we can eat them. I find it very sad, awfully disturbing and very heartbreaking. After doing alot of research, I also found out that eating meat isn’t even that good for the body and not that essential, also considering that the quality of the meat today is pretty horrible, unless you eat organic. I would love to have your opinion on eating meat and becoming vegetarian, I’d love to know why you still eat meat and why. Thanks so much!

    Hi, Zuzka~ I have just joined the Zgym! And I try to follow your diet~ However, between meals, I always feel hungry I just wonder Should I eat a FM or I just eat just a portion of fruit or protein or nuts as a snack? Besides, I heard that we should not eat lots of fats after a workout in order to maximize the result. And should I eat WEM after a 5-minute workout or a beginner workout? Sorry about these many questions~ Thank you for those informations that have already been there~ I really like your videos about the diet tips.

      Oh, I forgot something. Can I eat protein bar as a FM? For example the Quest Bar.

        Because I am a student and I cannot get vegetables or fruits in the dorm because they cannot last fresh long so I ordered online some energy bars and ate them as lunch(FM).

    So I noticed all the comments about little Zuzka is eating. I hope that isn’t why she hasn’t posted her food journal in two weeks. Maybe she was eating less because she had all those photo shoots coming up? Or with the stress of preparations she wasn’t hungry? Either way, I think it is a bit much to jump to conclusions no?
