My Food Journal for the past week of March 21st
Workout Schedules | March 27, 2016
I read your comments on the previous food journals and saw that some of you requested me to show what I actually eat during the week and if I cheat or if I walk the talk 🙂 so I did my best to keep a good record of what I ate for the past week. 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 endo–mesomorph (athletic person who gains weight easily).

Hi Zu…I saw the new food´s journal just now! Really cool, realistic and nice. It does not matter if photos are not wonderful…they are real, and that is important! I also take snaps of my food and I do not want they look good, they are just food! Awesome…I also loved it…keep it up. And after sometime…you will realize that photos will be same because we eat always same things. Thanks for sharing! I will also make my journal on facebook. Take care and see you!
