I prefer to block macro nutrients a-la Zone. This allows for some more “normal” food options like rice, oatmeal, etc. I don’t usually have snacks during the day, instead I’m trying to eat 4 meals @ 4 blocks per meal. If I’m not feeling satisfied after meals I eat more mixed greens or spinach.
The above is a pretty typical day. Sometimes another cup of coffee finds it’s way in. I drink water from a Nalgene all day when I’m thirsty. Sometimes I have herbal tea before bed. I try to enjoy an alcoholic beverage or two (seriously, one or two) during the weekend. One of the weekend days is reserved for eating junk – no rules.
No vitamins. Fish oil off and on. I have a protein shake (SFH Recovery) post workout – mostly as a reward for coming in.
