I’m more or less doing the vertical diet right now.
10-12oz of beef twice a day. I sub 10-12oz of salmon for one beef meal twice a week.
Each meal also contains a serving of rice or sweet potatoes(1c each) and a cup of veggies- usually bell pepper and squash/zucchini.
I eat liver once a week.
A glass of milk every other day- will gradually add more but wanna ease my stomach into it.
1c Greek yogurt daily.
An apple or an orange as a snack each afternoon.
1 smoothie each morning consisting of 1c spinach, 1/2 banana, 1/2c blueberries, 1/2c carrot and 1 scoop protein.
Also 2-3c egg whites each day.
This consistently puts me at about 2500ish calories(depending on what cut of beef I’m using and whether I drink the glass of milk or not), about 175g carbs, 60ish g fat, 275protein. In that neighborhood on the macros.
My stomach likes it, very easy on it. I’m getting better about eating the veggies. I’m eating fish even though I don’t like it. Surprisingly, I don’t mind the liver. And for once, I’m actually eating a balanced diet that actually covers my micronutrients. It may not be perfect, but I feel like it’s damn solid.
