My Food Journal - The Week of October 10th

Nutrition | October 17, 2016

This is not a meal plan for you guys. Keep that in mind.

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 and goals (fat-loss, weight loss, or muscle gain).

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 and 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. (junk food and simple sugar is bad for everyone, even skinny people)

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. These meals are low in carbs and sugar.

WEM – Workout earned meal, or a meal you should earn with your high intensity 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.

 

MONDAY

Low intensity workout – means I did not get out of breath enough to earn starchy carbs

*Bananas are high in sugar so they belong to WEM. However, it’s not a junk food so feel free to have them anytime if you’re already lean or looking to build more muscles.

TUESDAY

img_9774 img_9776

*banana belongs to fruit with high sugar content, so if you’re someone who’s trying to lose fat, then make sure to earn your bananas with a workout. If you’re already lean, or looking to build more muscles, feel free to have them anytime.

    Noodle soup, beans, bread and rice – finally food that I recognize 🙂 Nice to see you eating carbs (other than fruit) and yes, they are awesome and comforting and the best anti-stress remedy there is.

    Hi Zu…I am so happy to see the bananas in your life…hahahah…and oranges also! I do love bananas and just now I ate 3 small after the 15 min fat burn workout. It is my favorite snack and I can just grab one and put in the purse when I am busy. Awesome! See you, take care girl!

    Does anyone have nutrition advice for a college student that dorms? I don’t have access to an oven, just a microwave, electric kettle, and blender, so I pretty much have to eat dining hall food.

      there are for example many many veggies (nearly all of them) you can eat raw..and then you could order just some Fish/Meat at the dining Hall, without the extras?

      I use a botanical fat burner/protein energy drink that I’ve had a company develop for myself. I should have it soon available on my website for sale – that’s when you’ll be able to see it.

My day is very busy and I have just time in the late evening. Can I eat a WEM for dinner and working out 2 hours later?
