Thanks bro.Your shits on point bro
Respect
Probably pay a little too much attention to detail but it gives me peace of mind knowing I check all the boxes within my control…
Meal 1: 3 cups of coffee with 1% milk, glass of water with an ounce of ACV, one avocado, 1/2 cup of oats with 3 tablespoons of almonds, 1/2 cup blueberries and 30 grams of whey protein.
Meal 2: 1/2 cup cream of rice, cinnamon for flavour, and a 1/4 cup berries, and 1 banana.
weights
Meal 3: 8 oz top sirloin steak, 1/2 cup of jasmine rice, 1 cup broccoli
Meal 4 - 7 oz bakes haddock, 1 potato, kale salad
Meal 5: 8 oz top sirloin steak, mix of baked cabbage/parsnips/carrots/turnip
Meal 6: 6 eggs (salt and pepper), 1 medium tomato slices up with salt and pepper
3972 cals approx / 275 grams carbs / 170 grams fat / 286 grams protein / 44 grams fibre.
Fighting with the new MyfitnessPal app to accurate readings. This may not be bang on - top sirloin is lean meat, haddock is low fat as well. Typically, I will throw 1/2 tablespoon of EVOO in towards my 4-6 meal but watching fat in my macro count.
Every meal has a glass of H2O usually after I am done - I don't drink anything but coffee and water with ACV lately. The odd time I may have orange juice.

Reminds me to get sauerkraut - love it and healthy for you plain or on potatoes. I even put it over my plain rice. Do you buy your chicken in bulk from a farmer or just a big pack from a local grocer? Your diet is consistently great.
Great to see you are mixing in healthy fruit/veg like grean beans, blueberries, ACV or lemon juice (I do that too in the AM), pineapple (again one of my favourite and I forget to put it on the grocery list. You know what they say about pineapple - your lady may appreciate it lol.
Great diet!
Sauerkraut has been a nice addition. I’m having about 40-50g with one meal. I honestly have no idea if that’s even a large enough portion to contribute to my gut health but at a minimum it’s tasty and gives me some peace of mind lol.
I’ve purchased bulk chicken from a local butcher before but haven’t done that in a while. I’ve narrowed it down to a couple grocery stores that I prefer to shop for meat at now. I have a chest freezer so anytime those grocery stores have a special for chicken breast a $5-6/lb I’ll load up the freezer with around 50lbs.
Do you mix your lemon juice/ACV with cold, or warm water ? I’ve tried both and mixing it with warm water (from the kettle) seems to be really effective in keeping me regular in the morning. Glutamine is a nice addition to it too.
I’ve always made sure to include lots of variety in terms of fruits & veg, but I’ve really been taking advantage of that lately with my food being so high. With 4 meals on my training days including fruit, I’m rarely having the same fruit 2x in a single day.
Yup, I love coffee but while it is being brewed and I am stumbling around waking up, I try to drink a glass of warm water slowly with an ounce of lemon juice (fresh squeezed or natural ACV). I find it helps me wake up and is the prelude to coffee and breakfast. Both (ACV and lemon juice) are going to help digestion / regular - especially ACV. I haven't used glutamine but once I read @Jussik mention it, I will be adding it to my morning ritual. Eating fruit and vegetables help increase your fibre which is essential for good health. Most BB diets do not provide enough daily fibre.
Do you like avocados? One of if not the best foods for your liver, healthy fats and surprisingly high in cals. I love them and have one a day. I posted a few studies showing how much it protected the liver and helped heal issues like fatty liver/high liver enzymes. They have a ton of fibre in them - approx 10 grams and if you consider oatmeal, some berries, nuts, in a bowl - you're well on your way to hitting the recommended fibre for the day. It is recommended to eat between 35-40 for men depending on the cals you eat. You eat a lot so your fibre should be high.
I asked a few docs and they all said it is hard to get to the 12-14 grams per 1000 cals. Two told me if I can hit 20, I am doing good. The almonds, avocado, banana, oatmeal, berries or if I skip the oatmeal and just have a protein shake with some berries mixed in (and the avocado and banana) you can get close to 20 in the one meal for breakfast.
I see you are getting a good variety in your diet for growing muscle which is admirable and is just an opinion but is essential to good health. That can be argued but if you want enough fibre, I find it to hit if you don't eat veggies and fruit plus I like them. They are often loaded in potassium and valuable nutrients for BP, etc. Regardless, my point is - it is clear you put a lot of thought into your diet.
Just an opinion but any sauerkraut is great for gut health like ACV or other fermented foods.
u r very consistent , I find it hard to.do you spend much time prepping so the meals are ready for u or prep when the it is the right time?
It requires a lot of time spent in the grocery store and kitchen for sure.
I cook in bulk, generally 2-3 days at a time. I try to do most of the cooking on my rest days. When food is high I’m generally cooking something everyday though.
