I like the accountability of posting my food for everybody to see... I hope some of you will join me!
Funny how a few hundred sets of eyes makes you think twice about messing up.
(Yes, even trainer types do better when someone's watching.) I think it is also a great way for everybody to share how creative (or not so creative) this way of eating can be - I always come away with great ideas whenever I check out other people's food logs!

So here is my food so far today, followed by my plan for the rest of the day...

9:00am - EAS AdvantEdge Shake (forgot to pack my carb!!)
10:00am - Kick a%# UBWO = 33 mins Elliptical
11:34pm - 5 boiled egg whites and mixed fruit
2:20pm - Egg substitute, a little katchup, whole grain toast and carrot sticks

Plan the rest of the day:

5:30pm - Sweet potato, cottage cheese, cinnamon and Agave sweetener
8:30pm - Tuna Steak, wild rice, broccolli, Kava tea to finish

I'll be asleep by 10:00pm so no 6th meal for me today (got a late start!)

My plan today:
5:45 - 25 minutes of Elliptical + stretching.
7:00 - 5 eggwhites, one yolk - scrambled and a dab of fresh salsa. Oatmeal.
10:00 - Myoplex
12:45 - Chicken breast, brown rice, mixed veggies and green beans.

Rest of the day:
3:45 Myoplex
6:45 Lean beef, large spinach salad and fresh fruit.
7:00 - 4 mile powerwalk with my wife.
9:00 - Shot of whey and some raw veggies.
9:30 - out cold :<)

Food:

Breakfast was whole grain waffle with organic "healthy fat" spread and 2 tbsp all natural organic maple syrup. Had some coffee with heavy whipping cream (1 tbsp). Had two multivitamins and two fish oil caps.

Lunch was several slices of roast beef (a whole roast that my wife bought and baked) and half a baked potato. Had two multivitamins.

Afternoon snack was an Indian dish of lentils and spices.

Dinner will probably be baked chicken, half a baked potato, and a large serving of green beans. I take 2000mg Vitamin C with dinner.

Hey, Jeremy - I have been considering upping my dosage of vit C. Is there a specific reason you take it late in the day? What benefits, if any, have you noticed?

I hope you are following my blog! I post my accountability on there every night. I pretend I have to be accountable to you and back up all of my smack talk. Its helped me stay focused. I love it.

A typical days menu for me goes like this:

Breakfast: RIght +1 scoop protein powder
Midmeal: oatmeal/ 2 hard boiled eggs
Lunch: EFL turkey sandwich
Midmeal: cottage / yogurt
Dinner: A nice EFL dinner
Snack: right light.

THis is pretty much how every day goes. The only thing that varies at all is the lunch and dinner. The mid meals are the same.

ITs working for me so far.

Actually, Dude, you were the one that gave me the idea! I look at your food post every day... no pressure. lol
=:-D

This is a great idea.
Here was/is my line-up for today.

I took the day off (from work) so I was a little late getting up....

9:00 - 25 minutes high intensity rowing
10:00 - Chocolate Right mixed with scoop of Whey Protein (this one is sweetened with Sucralose which I am not sure of. Will buy one without the artificial sweetener next time).
12:00 - Plum and Cheese String
2:00 Pita Chicken Pizza (Eating for Life)
4:30 Oatmeal Clif Bar
7:00 Salmon + Brown Rice + Zucchini slices
10:00 (in about 30 mins) Chocolate Sundae (Eating for Life)

I spent the day in the backyard building a shed. So, it was an intense day from a movement perspective. Quite different than my typical day which is 80% sitting behind a desk on the phone. Sounds boring BUT it pays well

I will post again tomorrow!!

Lets make it happen.
Chris

PS. Any thoughts on my day? Is it to much? Is it to little? The good news is I am very seldom hungry.

Good idea. Very interesting mixes. Like Dude, I don't vary much from day to day, so here's mine for today.

5:00 am. coffee, get ready for work
6:00 fruit smoothie w/ EAS whey protein powder, vitamin E
8:30 FF yogurt and fruit (today was 1/4 cantalope)
11:30 EFL chicken salad, cracker crisps- 1oz, 7 baby carrots, 5 cherry tomatoes
I take a multivitamin and extra B vitamins
2:00 FF SF vanilla pudding, EAS protein in 12 oz water
4:30 lower body workout (I could hardly walk back up the stairs from my home gym in the basement!)
6:00 grilled chicken breast, brown rice, green salad w/lite dressing
8:30 p.m. EFL peaches & cream pudding dessert
in bed by 9:30 and will do it all over again tomorrow.

Every time I have tried to order the RightLight, it has been out of stock, so haven't tried it. But I still have some Myoplex Lite in my pantry, so will use that first anyway. And what is protein fortified coffee?

I will say for lunches what I have been doing is I have the same lunch everyday for a week.
week 1 was EFl turkey sandwich
week 2 was EFL chicken ceasar wraps only I didn t do ceasar dressing we did a lowfat honey mustard
Week 3 was a mix of the first two weeks that we still had food for
week4 we were in disneyland so we split a turkey club every day
week 5 we did the EFL chicken salad pitas again with the honey mustard dressing
This week I am out of food HAHA LOL so I m making due with what I ve got til I shop.

Dinners we do the same ones
spaghetti and meatballs EFL
Fish, brown rice, and veggie one night a week
chicken, potato of some sort and veggie 3 times a week
then some other variation like TLT sandwich or EFL sloppy joes.

I gotta be honest here, as far as ease of planning and ease on the pocket book I am trying to keep it as simple as I can. Simple and clean. thats working for me so far.

DUDE

7 am - walked the dog for 20 minutes
7:30 am - smoothie - skim milk, ff cottage cheese, fresh frozen fruit and a little splenda
9:30 am - ff yogurt and 8 almonds
noon - buffalo chicken wraps with carrots and EFL bleu cheese - YUMMY!!! I modified the EFL recipe and grilled the chicken and used whole wheat tortillas instead of a bun. My son LOVES this.

4 pm - UBWO
5 pm - grilled teryaki chicken, brown rice, broccoli, small green salad
7 pm - swam with the kids

At dinner tonight, my kids told me they want to stay on this "diet" forever.....they are loving the food I'm cooking! I grilled 4 different kinds of chicken today and froze some it so we'll have easy meals all week.

Apparently I'm the only person that doesn't have Eating for Life. I must buy it all these recipes sound like Im really missing out.
Until tomorrow...
