How I eat, and BK ain't part of it!

[bigpetefox]

I've simplified my day to day eating for my schedule.. Normally, I'd eat more meals while cutting to keep my metabolism up (the infamous "No Cardio Diet").. Since I don't plan to compete for a long time (never), I've decided to stay somewhat lean, and build from there.. So far, this is what I eat on a regular day, times are approximate..

6:30am- 1 serving Muscle Milk in 12oz rice milk

7:00am- 64oz water, 10g BCAA powder in the first 16oz..

7:45am- 1 1/2 cup oats, 12oz green tea (brewed), Met-Rx Big 100 bar

8:30am- 52g whey in 12oz rice milk, 12g flax/bran/oat fiber supplement

9:25am- turkey sandwich w/o bread, 32oz water, 8oz rice milk

10:45am- 1 can tuna, 1 Organic Fiber Bar by Renew Life

11:30- 52g whey in 12oz rice milk w/ 12g fiber

1:00pm- 2 slices cheese pizza, 10oz fountain soda (yes, you can hate me!)
2:45pm- 12oz green tea, Met-Rx Big 100 bar

4:00pm- 32oz water, pre-workout supplements (CEE, NO-booster)

6:00pm- CEE/Creatine mono blend with 75g dextrose (pwo)

6:30pm- 52g whey in 12oz rice milk

8:00pm- 10oz ground beef mixed in 1/2 cup basmati rice

9:00pm- Met-Rx Big 100 bar, 32oz water

Before Bed: 1 serving Muscle Milk..

Odd how this has got me to my current avatar status, eh? Hopefully my recent bloodwork tells a good story..

[Beelzebub]

damn, that's a lot of eating. what are the daily totals?

[bigpetefox]

That was what I ate today, possible as to why i'm holding water..

I gotta figure that out, I really should factor in the cals..

[DieTrying]

WOW- amazing that you can get away with that.

[bigpetefox]

I didn't list the fact that I'm using Tight, CEE, CE Transport (pwo), and afew nutrient partitioner supps, along with my diabetes meds..

this guy. 5% BF and jacked, has no idea what his totals are.

yeah, i'm jealous.

[bigpetefox]

Mainly when I eat, I worry more about how much protein I get in and how much less my carb intake is.. I do take fish oil (10g= 10 softgels), flax oil (same as fish), and the fiber product.. I get in alot of good omega fats, sometimes I'll take a straight 2 tablespoons of olive oil, just 'cause..

[Beelzebub]

well, whatever you're doing, it's working.

don't fix what ain't broke.

[SJA]

They call it genetics...some got it....some don't. But I still feel that anyone who is even half BB'ing should know what their cals are....especially a mod

[natedogg]

I drink about a half a gallon of green tea every day now. I love it. Rice milk huh. I remember drinking that stuff in Korea. Not bad really. Do you drink regular milk too or just the rice milk? What's the nutrient breakdown on that?

[bigpetefox]

Some info on rice milk:

8oz serving contains:
110 calories
2g fat/0 sat.
22g carbs/ 17g sugar
2g protein

I haven't used regular milk in over a year, my intestines thank me for it..

[Beelzebub]

would you mind posting your training regimen up as well? cardio and all?

[bigpetefox]

Not at all.. I don't do cardio, so this will be short..

4 days per week, 45min-1hr10mins per session..

Monday: Chest/Delts
Tuesday: Back/Calves
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Quads/Calves
Friday: Biceps/Triceps

I do two warm-up sets, then 4 work sets per bodypart. I use 4 exercises, 4 worksets per movement. My routine changes every week, I did back Monday with triceps, yesterday I did chest/calves.. I probably only rest 30 seconds between sets and the next exercise, so I'm constantly moving..

no cardio......

pretty solid looking program. reps vary?

[bigpetefox]

Oh yeah, rep range is 10-20 for warm-ups, 8-12 worksets..

[sctxms]

U have put some size on in the last year or so pete

[bigpetefox]

Thanks, brother.. I'm more towards staying relatively lean (diabetic) instead of doing those crazy suicide bulk-ups where I eat anything and everything.. I did alittle math on what I ate yesterday, and I think I'll cut it down abit..

Here's the other supps I'm using everyday:
Green tea extract- 2g split in 3 doses
Betalin by BSN- 4 caps 3x daily
Essential Enzymes by Source naturals- 2 caps 3x daily
ALA- 1200mg with 600mg pwo
Metformin(extended release)- got a script for it, 2 tabs daily 500mg each
R-ALA- 600mg daily
Tight- 1 capsule daily w/25mg ephedrine hcl
Flax- 10 softgels
Fish- 10 softgels

So basically I'm popping afew pills with my food..

[Boss_K]

Pete, have you been diabetic your whole life? Or is this something that has happened thru slin usage? Sorry, I just don't remember you posting that you were diabetic before....


15 meals a day? Jesus!!!!

[Nitrox]

What diabetic meds are you taking? Are you using a blood glucose monitor and if so how are you levels with that diet? Those dextrose shakes can be nasty meals for a diabetic...

[Ginseng]

Hey pete,

How long have you been using digestive enzymes and what kind of results have you notice from using them?
