Thought I’d share this with you.
Here’s a simple example of a Day’s Food Intake
for any lad who claims they have a HUGE appetite and looking to lose weight.
Breakfast:
Omelette: cooking time = 5 mins
4 eggs & mixed veg (peppers, onions mushrooms etc)
24g of protein & 300 calories. 1/5 Fruit & Veg
Snack 1:
Cooking time = 2 mins
Black Coffee / Tea with protein bar (fulfil, quest, grenade etc)
20g of protein & 200 calories
Lunch:
Cooking time = 5 mins
Brown Bread sandwich with Ham or Chicken & veg
12-17g of protein & 400 calories. 1/5 Fruit & Veg
Snack 2:
Cooking time = 2 mins
150g Greek yoghurt & piece of fruit (apple, banana, berries etc)
15g of protein & 200 calories 1/5 Fruit & Veg
Dinner:
Cooking time = 12 mins
Chicken stir-fry (2 chicken breasts, 120g rice, mixed peppers & onions etc)
40g of protein & 600 calories, 2/5 Fruit & Veg
Snack 3:
Cooking time = 2 mins
Tea & dark chocolate (70% +) 2 squares or 2 chocolate rice cakes
3g of protein & 160 calories
That I’ll you’ll agree is a pretty hefty amount of food when you look at it.
But when you break it down and look at the numbers:
Total Cooking Time: 28 mins
Total Calories: 1,860
Total Protein: 120 grams
Total Fruit & Veg Portions: 6
It’s actually not that much at all in terms of calories.
Reason being, the bulk of the food
comes from good protein & veg sources.
If you ate like this chances are you’d be well full throughout the day
and with such a low calorie content the weight would fall off you.
Just show’s you don’t need to be starving yourself
when trying to shed the belly fat.
You just need to eat the right stuff most of the time.
This is just an example, you don’t have to eat all that,
especially if you find like 4 eggs in the morning a bit much.
It’s just an example of how if you prioritise good protein & veg sources
you can actually eat a tonne of food and still lose weight.
Especially if you combine it with some proper training a few times a week.
So if you are a busy man with 99 problems
