I have no idea what the macro-nutrient break down was. I don’t care anymore, and haven’t for a while (which is also why I basically look like shit, but hey, strong shit!).

That can’t be all you eat in an entire day. Is it really?

This isn’t a typical amount of food for me.
I usually consume more whey & milk, at least twice as much, but I happened to run out. I also eat a lot of junky high calorie food (pizza, wings, McDoubles from McDonalds etc) often.
But two meals a day with milk & whey shakes is generally what I eat.
This is an interesting thread idea. My diet is pretty terrible.
Today I had:
11am: trained (fasted)
12pm: 1 pork pie, 2 danishes (lol)
7pm: meatballs, with a heap of green beans and some roast potatoes (bolognase sauce), and a tonne of apple juice
9pm: some M&Ms and a mountain dew (at cinema)
Honestly that is pretty standard for me. I usually have a pretty unhealthy lunch and a large but reasonably healthy dinner. The only difference from usual is that I normally eat a tonne of fruit in the evening, mostly berries. They’re expensive but I can’t get enough of them. My focus has changed over the years from protein to fruit and veg.

I feel like this thread could use a bump. It seems to me that there’s two options being presented to beginners on this site at the minute:
-
Eat lots of crap, as long as there’s some protein in there, because more calories is always good.
-
The only clean way to eat is broccoli, rice and chicken and you have to forget about enjoying food if you want to be lean.
I feel like showing people the variety that’s available without either eating shit or succumbing to the rice and chicken delusion.
If anybody cares what I ate yesterday:
Breakfast
30g protein shake
20 oz latte w whole milk
12oz greek yogurt
Mid-morning
Starkist single serve tuna package
Lunch
Shrimp Po Boy and cajun rice from Popeyes
Mid-afternoon
Another tuna pack
Dinner
3 - 8 oz grilled boneless pork chops
a small serving of mashed potatoes
Post workout 30 g protein shake
Other than my morning latte and my protein shakes I rarely drink anything other than water.
No idea what the breakdown is on this in terms of calories or carbs, ect, but it is roughly 230g of protein which is a little less that 1g per lb of body weight. Glad I did this, now I know I need to get a little more protein.
Yesterday:
breakfast: 6 raw eggs, 1 breakfast taco
lunch: footlong subway sandwich (turkey, pepperoni, salami w/ veggies)
snack: 50g protein in water
dinner: bowl of pot roast, side of noodles & tofu (leftovers)
before bed: 6 raw eggs
…and as it wasn’t a training day, a spicy bloody Mary
Today:
breakfast: 6 raw eggs, 2 bananas
Lunch: Bowl of pot roast & lots of potatoes (2 cups)
Snack: Noodles & tofu (about 2 cups)
…future…
peri-workout: about 80g protein
Dinner: whatever the gf cooks
before bed: 6 raw eggs
EDIT: I try to avoid shit food when shopping, but I do live in South Texas so I don’t beat myself up over enchiladas every now & then.
