Breakfast: piece of mint gum

Lunch: pumpkin pancakes and a 1lb of carrots and a half a container of hummus

If it works, it works.

Breakfast: Oatmeal or 2 pieces of Pb&j toast and Coffee

Lunch: I usually just eat piece of fruit and a snack like a bagel or yougurt sometimes I'll have anothet coffee

Snack: Goldfish or chips and a salad with homemade lemon vinaigrette (usually eat this while dinner cooks)

Dinner: Either rice or pasta and a vegetable dish, I'll throw in meat about twice a week and tofu once or twice a week. I usually make it all into a cohesive meal so it's not like the grain/veggie/protein are separate things.

Dessert: :( I always forget to buy dessert

Not a bad thing to forget, you are less likely to gain body fat.

Breakfast: Cup of broccoli sprouts and an Avocado with salt

Coffee with 2 tablespoons MCT Oil

Lunch: 12 OZ Ground Beef with cheese

Dinner: 16OZ Ribeye or Porterhouse with kimchi on the side

What are your PRs and do you still run? If you aren't a hobby jogger, how has distance running felt while you were on ketosis?

Kill Dairy. You will notice a huge difference.

Kill snacking or limit it. This is where a lot of weight gain comes from, and it increases hunger.

Limit sugar intake, and eat natural sugar, basically, sugar that is found in fruits and vegetables. Stay away from high fructose corn syrup and refined sugars.

Set up a eating schedule, where you are eating 3-4 times a day, nothing more.

Dinner should be your biggest portion, with breakfast and dinner being small or medium portions.

breakfast - lunch- dinner

or

breakfast - lunch - light pre-meal meal ( around 3-4 pm) - dinner ( 7pm-9pm...or 2 hours before bed time)

EAT SOME KIND OF VEGETABLE EVERY DAY, especially with your dinner.

Eat real food: Meat. Vegetables. Fruit. Nuts. Try not to add a lot of sauces or or condiments to your food, go with seasoning for flavor. Seasoned sauted onions over a chicken breast or a cut of steak or beef is way better than using ketchup, steak sauce, or cream sauce. There are a lot of unnatural and unnecessary ingredients in those items, which can lead to unwanted calories and unwanted sugar level spikes

So say no to sauces. And yes to Seasoning.

There is nothing wrong with eating a REAL taco, REAL burger or REAL hot dog, etc. The issue is with how those foods are prepared and cooked.

I probably get less than 1000 calories before dinner. From dinner until bed, I definitely get more than 1000 calories, typically between 1000-2000, but sometimes more. I wish I could spread this more evenly throughout the day, but it's just convenient to bring to work what's easy to have there and then to be more diverse when I have the fridge and cabinets at home to pull from.

You eat gold fish. You absolute sicko.

I will never make the Olympics and life is short, I eat what I want, when I want.

How bad are processed carbohydrates for distance runners?

To each his own.
