I really dont fuck with any shakes or whatever right now my diet is basically like this.

12:00 Noon wake up and eat a bowl of Oatmeal with a nice bottle of Orange Juice.

1:30 This is my meal before work its usually some kind of Meat with a side of some vegetables like Peas,Broccilli,Mashed Potatoes,Green Beans whatever.

6:00 This is around my 1st break at work and I usually have a packed lunch of a Bannana,Peach,Nice Sandwhich on Wheat bread and a bottle of Turkey Hill Tea.

9:00 Around my 2nd work break and alot of times I go over to the Chinese Place and get something like General Tsos Chicken or some kind of Meat with Veggies type meal and a nice bottle of Vitamin Water Revive from the CVS.

12:00 Whatever my family made for Dinner which around here we eat alot of Spaghetti,Chicken in Fried Rice,Pork Burgers with Veggies etc.

I'm on a seefood diet. I see food I eat it. I've got a fast metabolism so I can eat as much as I want and not gain weight. But I still eat fairly healthy and live a healthy lifestyle.

Don't waste your time on protein shakes.

Great info boys and girls keep it coming

[Relentless]

[allenko1]

I eat whatever I got in the kitchen. I could do better but...

[viru§™]

I have one of the above but also use protein subsitutes (shakes and bars)

Protein shakes and bars are supplements (additions), not replacements.

Every morning i get up 6:30-7ish and have a small bowl of Malt-O-Meal (its wheat cereal) and probably 2-4 cups of coffee with maybe a banana or apple.

Lunch is at 11-12 and usually consists of some lunchmeat sandwich, yogurt, carrots, broccoli and celery with a banana or apple and a meat stick or two.

I usually have a small handfull of unsalted peanuts as a snack sometime during the day

Dinner is at 6-7 and is whatever was made or whatever is left over (usually healthy, sometimes not so much). I typically eat chicken, steak, pasta, roasts, fish, tacos... alot of meat oriented stuff. Most of those usually are served with potatoes as well.

I have to snack on something at around 10 at night. maybe rye c r a c k e r s or yogurt. Occasionally something pretty unhealthy.

I don't really watch HOW MUCH I eat (I could stand to gain a few pounds), but I do pay close attention to what it is I eat.

No junk, no white breads, nothing with corn syrup.

Basically start the day with either a bowl of shredded wheat or oatmeal. A piece of fruit along with that.

My schedule is weird, so I end up eating at odd times of the day after that. I like to make smoothies with yogurt and frozen fruit. I make a lot of salads, I'll cook a chicken breast first and cut it up and put it in the salad. Whole wheat pitas with hummus. PB & J is always good (making sure there's no corn syrup in the J). Cottage cheese. Fruit. More fruit... Really the only thing I'm trying to work on with my diet right now is to work in more veggies. Probably not getting enough right now.

Get up at 9-10 am. For breakfast it's usually oatmeal with bread (once a week I'll have a scrumbled eggs), green tea and I always take my vitamins in the morning which is alive multivitamin, fish oil and apple polyphenols. Then around 1 pm I'll have a protein shake with some fruit or organic bar. For a break at work I usually take waffles with yogurt and a fruit. When I come back I have a dinner. and 1 hour before bed I'll have couple sliced of breat with vegetables like lettuce, onions tomatoes on them. I only drink water green tea and juices. No pops. I dont dring any alcohol, i don't smoke non of that man.
if that's not healthy than I don't know what is....

I allow myself one day to eat what I want each week. A few years back I weighed over 210 pounds - in other words, I was built like James Toney. With a diet similar to this, I was able to get down to 155 and I've been able to maintain it by eating like this just about every day. I'm around 160.

yer mate iam the same as u

[RDJ]

i eat whatever i want when ever i want every 3 hours

Same here, but not whatever I want I do have some rules. I always make sure there's some carbs, protein and fat in every meal. If I workout after that meal it will be a little higher in carbs, the post workout meal will be higher in protein. And ofcourse I try to avoid empty calories (sugar not accompanied by fibers, vitamins and minerals), saturated fats unless accompanied by (poly) unsaturated ones, etc.

It's common sense to you probably but I felt it needed to be mentioned anyway. Some noob may think you're eating french fries every three hours.

The egg yolk contains all of the vitamins and half of the protein of an egg. It has some saturated fat, but also unsaturated. If an egg yolk was bad, a chicken would not give it to its young :D

Also, I hope you vary a little more than this post suggests. Some lean red meat or fish won't hurt every now and then. In fact it would be beneficial, as protein sources need to be varied to maximize the variety in amino acids. It also seems to be void of fats, which is unhealthy. Why not add some fish oil, or flaxseed oil?

I watch WHAT I eat, rather than how much I eat. I always:
-eat lots of low GI carbs in the morning
-have protein with EVERY meal
-try to keep my carbs mainly from oatmeal, green veggies like broccoli and brown rice. I also limit my carbs as the day goes on.
-make sure to NEVER have a meal with just carbs and fat. always a combo of protein+fat or protein+carbs
-avoid ALL refined carbs.

For the most part; if it doesn't fly, run, swim or is green, or doesn't resemble its wild form, then I don't eat it.

[younghypnotiq]

i eat theb protein bars and shakes and balance everything and count my carbs fat and protein

[freesix88]

I eat when I am hungry and drink when I'm thirsty.

At around 7:30 am before I go to work, I'll usually eat some leftovers. Nothing too big, maybe chicken, pork, or beef with a little rice. Or maybe those frozen beef tacos/tacquitos from Trader Joe's.

At 10:15 am, I eat a cup of fruit, usually pineapples, mangos, and grapes.

At 12:15 pm, I eat half of whatever I ordered for lunch. Often it is Japanese food and I usually get salmon and chicken teryiaki. Or I go somewhere else where I get chicken, pork, fish, etc...I only eat a little of the rice.

At 3:15 pm, I eat whatever is left of my lunch along with a cup of watermelon.

Anywhere from 5:30 to 6:30 pm, depending on where and how long I work out, I eat either a power bar (in the middle of a boxing workout) or after my cardio/lifting workout @ 24 HR Fitness, I'll eat some lean meats and bread, something with carbs. Usually the meal is small.

At around 8:30 to 9:30 pm, I eat a small dinner, usually fish or chicken.
