Prof X,
do you want me to list what I eat everyday and you tell me if I am eating as much as you do?
?
I want you to not have to need to ask questions like this. This is one of those “common sense” things. You do what YOU ALONE need to in order to keep making progress. No one knows your specific situation so none of us can make out some detailed list of options when the truth is it still comes down to YOU ALONE figuring this out.
I eat all day long usually with no more than 3 hours going between meals unless something unexpected happens. I have done this FOR YEARS all of the way through college, dental school, and the military.
That means I have done every possible food choice in that time to see what works and not one person had to tell me what to do.[/quote]
i don’t need anyone to tell me how much to eat. I figured that out a long time ago.
but YOU said that I need to eat as much as you.
and this isn’t a about me figuring it out 100% on my own. That’s what T-Nation is for. I have a question, think about it on my own and then ask for and little advice and direction from those who have more experience and success than I do.

Dude, they let you operate on people with a Bachelor’s degree in dentistry?

I am sure he was good at what he did as well. It is hard to get meals in with my job. I am often getting protein shakes in during fake restroom breaks but you do what you have to in order to see progress.
Ronnie was up early and went to bed late. I am sure some days even that 5 hours of sleep was pushing it. He just wanted it badly. For everyone treating him like he was an idiot because of the way he speaks, it is clear he was ahead of the game far more than people give him credit for.
not to hijack, but you’d think being a doctor would actually be advantageous in terms of running your own schedule.

Outside of treatment my schedule is fairly open. Human beings are unpredictable so that “30 min appt” can turn into 2 hours before you can blink…and there goes lunch.[/quote]
Surgeon I used to work for used to deliver anesthesia then talk on the phone with his son for 30 minutes or he’d have me deliver halothane till he wanted to come in and start the I.V. sedation. Guess it depends if your doing orthognathic surgery or not of course we’d end up doing 12 hrs days on average to.

That’s pretty much how it works unless we are crowded in the lobby. I am at work all day but not always working all day long. I like that aspect of it. I just hate being at work so long.
