Haven't really looked forward to eating for a while...mostly due to the fact that I'm tired of stuffing myself trying to maintain weight. I'm looking forward to the next few weeks though dropping about 5 pounds because I get to eat less for a change, and this also affords me to eat a lot cleaner if you will. Having said that, here's what the past few months of eating have looked like:
Morning - Coffee with a ton of cream and sugar(love my pumkin spice latte), maybe a slice of toast.
After first practice - A huge protein fruit smoothie with about 1000 calories in it, comprised mostly of blueberries, bananas, a couple tablespoons of peanut butter, protein powder, ginger, cinnamon, and honey.
Dinner(after second practice) - Pizza, Chipotle, Chinese food, or Subway.
Dessert - 1 pint of Ben & Jerry's Candy Bar Pie(American Dream is good too)
Misc - Snacking on gummi candy throughout the day(1-2 packs a day), and pita chips with hummus occasionally with dinner.
I'll add here that I'm vegetarian. I'll basically drop weight by pulling the ice cream occasionally or exchanging the pizza and Chinese food for more Subway, maybe cut the midday shake in half a bit every once and a while. Losing weight has never been a hard thing for me, it's not very complicated; you just eat a little less and or move more till the scale starts to go in your favor. I'll do this for about 3-4 weeks most likely(maybe lose a little more depending on how consistent training is going) and then start building the food back up as practice intensity increases over the coming months. You have to eat if you're gonna train hard. I could write volumes on this. Everybody can train hard once in a blue moon, but very few can do this day in day out, month in month out for years... and even fewer can recover from it. You have to fuel yourself properly so that you have adequate energy to train at your hardest, and also so that you have the proper building blocks for recovery. Throw in ten hours of sleep a day and over the years that all adds up to a whole lot of progress.
