I've had a few people inquire what my daily diet looks like. I like to keep things as simple as possible. I work from home when I'm not at CFC, but this could be easily prepped in less than 20 minutes if I needed to have it ready to go. I honestly enjoy eating every meal. I don't ever look at my food, and go F! I have to eat this again!
So, here are two average days of eating with CrossFit. If I don't do CrossFit, I would take out the apple and post workout shake. I usually eat 4-5 times/day depending on when I wake up and when I get home from CFC.
Day 1 w/ workout
1. 6 oz of chicken sausage, 1 apple, small handful of cashews and pecans
Activity - CrossFit
2. Post WOD shake, 40g of whey protein
3. 8 oz of ground beef w/ salsa, 10 baby carrots, small handful of cashews and pecans
4. 6 oz of grilled chicken w/ salsa, 10 baby carrots, small handful of cashews and pecans
Approximate Breakdown - 180 grams of protein, 40 grams of carbs, 50 grams of fat
Day 2 w/ workout
1. 8 oz ground beef with salsa, 6 baby carrots, small handful of pecans and almonds
2. 6 oz chicken sausage, 1 apple, small handful of pecans and almonds
Activity - CrossFit
3. Post WOD shake, 40g of whey protein
4. 8 oz ground beef with salsa, 8 baby carrots, small handful of pecans and almonds
5. 6 oz grilled chicken with salsa, 8 baby carrots, small handful of pecans and almonds
Approximate Breakdown - 240 grams of protein, 45 grams of carbs, 65 grams of fat
Day 3 w/o workout
1. 6 oz of grilled chicken w/ salsa, 10 baby carrots, small handful of cashews and pecans
2. 3.5 oz of beef jerky, small handful of cashews and pecans
3. 8 oz of ground beef w/ salsa, 10 baby carrots, small handful of cashews and pecans
4. 6 oz of chicken sausage, 10 baby carrots, small handful of cashews and pecans
Approximate breakdown - 165 grams of protein, 25 grams of carbs, 50 grams of fat
It may look miserable to some of you, but my food prep/day is less than 30 minutes. I like how my food tastes, and it keeps me moving with high energy. I'm down around 12 pounds eating this diet since I've started. Today is day 20 on this for me.

Thanks for posting, Bryce. It's nice to see some examples. I like the salsa idea.
ReplyDeleteI make mine savory with spices, and I like to do a lot of soups or stews. So, the foundations are there for what I do, too. I like to get a big bows and just chunk up radishes, celery, and cucumbers and add some grape tomatoes and snack with them when I'm feeling like I want something with crunch. Saves me from hitting the nuts.
