20100204 Meal: On the Go

My food on the go – I was running around all day and found this to be the only way to be paleo-compliant, mobile, and satiated.

-          3c mixed nuts

-          2lb (32oz) turkey jerky

-          Dried apricots, cherries, goji berries, and blueberries

The jerky I buy is pretty good – they don’t dry it out completely so it’s pretty tender and doesn’t get gross. What I really like is how the jerky, nuts, and fruits kinda mix flavours – turns out pretty tasty.

20100201 Meal: What I'm Eating Throughout the Day

Mini-Meals throughout the day:

• 32oz of turkey jerky
• 2c mixed fruits & nuts
• 2c sliced cucumber
• 4c broccoli heads

Pre-WOD: 23g whey protein (chocolate) and apple sauce

Post-WOD: 2 scoops endurox

20100130 Meal: Dinner & Evening Snack

not that sexy, but sufficient

Dinner:

• leftover bok choy from last night (again)
• 1 scoop whey protein – 23g
• 4 boiled egg whites

Snack:

• Tery’s Paleo kit

20100130 Mid-meal: Tery’s Paleo Kits

when in doubt, i grab one of my paleo kits and go to town.

each kit includes the following:

• 6-8 oz of turkey & beef jerky (yes, preservative, sugar, and salt free. even organically raised or wild-caught!)
• 1/3c dried fruits and nuts (the usual suspects of almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower, hazelnuts, goji berries, cherries, and coconut shavings)
• 1c mixed and raw broccoli, carrots, cucumber, zucchini, squash and cauliflower
• 1l water with lemon

good calories, good burn, good return

20100127 Mid-Meal: appetite hath returned

i have an appetite! i have an appetite!

i don't know if it's the foods i'm preparing or if my body is waking up to what i'm trying to feed it ... or that i'm feeling hungry because i'm still not absorbing my food very well

no matter, though ... i have an appetite!  (hey, every little victory is STILL a victory, no?!)

Mid-Meal:

• seasoned pork loin - about 6oz v-lean
• 1/3c mixed nuts (the usual suspects plus coconut and goji berries)

20100127 Mid-Meal: Still Sore

managed to get some food in in between classes.

• 3 boiled eggs
• 1/3c mixed nuts & dried cherries
• coffee, black (not shown)

20100126 Mid-Meal: I heart pheasant

Mid meal (around 9:30)

• pheasant breast (about 7 oz)
• banana
• chamomile tea with lemon (not shown)

although bananas aren’t on the top of the paleo food list, i appreciate the recovery benefits of the natural potassium as well as how nicely it goes down. i’m not convinced that we should call this a cheat given that coach recommended that i eat fruit 3-4 times a day ... it helps me get the food down

20100125 Another Little Meal

- baked pheasant breast
- raisins
- peppermint tea
- mixed nuts (not shown)

10100123 morning & midday

quick and easy ... but maybe still not enough breakfast
- 4 boiled egg whites
- sm chicken breast
- sm Clementine
- mixed nuts (hazelnuts, almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower)

Snack
- sm apple
- sm banana
- mixed nuts
- chicken breast

Man, I feel like I really needed some sweets. My guess is that I didn't eat enough protein yesterday (much less enough for my weight gain goal).

It seems, however, that my craving was an early sign because my pre-wod meal was not enough nor were the calories consumed so far today. I got faint in round 3 of my 10-round workout and had to DNF. Although I can make excuses about all the squats and the pull-ups I did as part of my strength conditioning right before, I honestly felt crushed... It may also have been an early sign of poor protein absorption and that I'm still recovering from an ailment that really floored me ... more later ...

2010 01 21 Brunchy and Lunchy!

in between classes, I have something packed and ready to go. They aren't sexy, but they do the trick and are pretty palatable.

Mid-day
- 1/3c bag of mixed nuts
- sm apple
- 6oz turkey breast slices

Lunch
- 60z bag of snow peas
- 6.5 oz tuna sashimi
- 1/3c bag of mixed nuts

2010 01 21 Breakfast of champions!

I love breakfast.

- 4 boiled egg whites
- 1/4c mixed nuts/berries (hazelnuts, pecans, walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, goji berries,
apricots and cherries)
- giant raspberry herbal tea (yum!)

My energy level has been a little low. My guess is the lack of good rest over the past 4 days. We were in Ouray, CO for ice climbing, gymnastics training, and Avy/Rescue Training; I had my first week of school and back to training; Our travel time was 22+ hours and the logistics of travelling (luggage, packing, coordination, etc) was just a lot to bear mentally. Physically, I didn't get to push myself in training as much as I'd have liked, but I think it worked itself out given that I'm still recovering. The universe tends to take care of itself, I suppose.

Rest = 4
Energy level = 3
Physical health = 7
Mental/emotional health = 8
Stress level = 7

Breakfast seems to be the only consistent meal of the day. Last night before bed around 2am, I managed to cram down a few handfuls of nuts and turkey jerky, but that's really not compensating for the 6 hours that went be without a calorie... need to get more disciplined (and more time!!!)

20100117 "Lunchish" w/ Jeff Tucker

I have a new addition to my short list of heroes - Tucker is definitely one of them for reasons beyond his gifts as a coach and instructor.

Mid-Day and Lunch
- grilled chicken breasts with basil
- Clementine
- handfuls of mixed nuts
- snap pea, celery, green pepper, red pepper, and zucchini stick mix

20100116 snack and lunch: eating is hard work!

Given how good of an
appetite I normally have, I never thought I'd find myself saying, "I
don't know if I can do this... this is so much food."

Today's midflight snack
- 2 egg whites (not shown)
- Clementine
- half of the bag in the photo (poached chicken breast, goji berries,
walnuts, pecans, almonds, macadamias, sunflower seeds, flax seeds,
cranberries, cherries)
