My Food Journal - The Week of August 1st

Nutrition | August 08, 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.

My Training: High Intensity Workout

*I did not eat the whole plate of nachos by myself. Jesse decided to get out of keto for a few days so that he can too enjoy some of the carbs with me 🙂

SATURDAY

Lunch: PEACH WITH SIMPLE CHICKEN SALAD AND ALMONDS (FM)

My training: 3 Hour Bike Ride as you could see in my new weekly vlog.

*I did not do another high intensity workout that day, the bike ride was enough.

*We went to a restaurant and had a blast! I ate all three tacos but left the rice and beans on the plate. I had no idea it was included. I also had a skinny margarita cocktail and a straight shot of tequila. And the dessert you see below was split 4 ways so I just had bite out of it and it was satisfying enough.

    I know you don’t count calories, but it appears that you are around 1200 calories a day or less by looking at the photos. Do you ever get hungry especially that you are so active? The bulletproof coffee alone is probable 120 calories, just coffee and fat. I tried it and I almost threw up, so yeah bulletproof coffee kills your appetite I guess!

      it’s actually 220 calories and 28 grams of good fat. Try making it by substituting raw cacao butter for the butter. and add a few drops of stevia. and definitely make sure you whip it in a blender. It should look like a latte. I think she’s eating around 1600/1700 calories. Her meals contain a lot of good fat so they’re filling and nutrient dense.

      Honestly, I don’t understand how anyone can drink bulletproof coffee… I mean – the fat is way too concentrated for my taste. But I have problem even with mascarpone, whipped cream etc… I just hate that “fatty” taste and consistency. On the other hand, I’m the carb addict. Looking at Z’s journal – I’d probably starve to death, eating this little. But I guess we all have different needs. I keep my body fat on 17 % and I’m quite happy with that… I wouldn’t want less. (Sorry, I’m just thinking out “loud” here 🙂

        No worries it’s your own perspective. You wouldn’t starve to death because those small portions are dense in calories and full of sustainable energy. It’s the type of foods we eat that matter not the amount. If you’re active a lot and if you exercise a lot than eating more carbs is totally fine, and it won’t effect your health. My workouts are not enough for me to eat a lot of carbs because I’m not active for the rest of the day so my insulin levels would spike up on me and I would feel tired by 3pm.
