aside from his AWESOME afro and little flamer shorts, no offense, he had this BRILLIANT idea called the deal-a-meal. do you remember that? you'd get so many cards a day and once you used them up, you were done? i pretty much live that every day. because i have low blood sugar issues, i split up my meals as i need to in order to keep my sugar stable. so i don't necessarily look at each meal but rather a whole day...every day i get this much food...
14oz protein
3 grains (when i train, i get 4)
32oz vegetables
2 fruits
5 fats
i do balance out my food throughout the day - if i used my allotted food at breakfast, by dinner time i will want to rip all your faces off. i recommend you balance your food too BUT it's also a very cool thing to know how much food you need to live in a day. i think a lot of people's food looks like this:
20-25oz protein
7-8 grains
0-1 vegetable
1/2 fruit
600 fats
so what the hell am i trying to say...? i think what i'm saying is that you CAN eat out and eat yummy burgers and tacos and shit but just keep in mind that once you eat that fat-laden, high calorie lunch, go easy at dinner. get an angus burger at mcdonalds but know that you just ate 2 starches, 1.5 proteins, and at least 3 fats. so don't get the fries with it, drink a V8. don't eat another sandwich at dinner, get a salad. when you want a snack later, get your veggies in and eat carrot sticks.
i'm not talking to health freaks and "let's go green and never eat at mcdonald's because it takes too much energy to make a burger hippys" (no offense). i'm talking to normal people that want to live a fucking life and enjoy eating and also NOT be a fat ass. my favorite meals include cheese, mayonnaise, hotdogs, and whole milk. just use a little common sense and create balance. it's worth it.
happy eating! xo
