Transcript

I cut from 20.6 to 9.0% body fat, and this is what my typical day looks like to make the diet as easy as possible. I wake up at 7AM, five minutes of sunlight, coffee, and start work. At 10AM, I have my first of three meals, two cups of egg whites with turkey bacon, veggies, and goat cheese. The goat cheese is the key. Oats and strawberries for volume. This first meal gives me 72 grams of protein. At noon, I train, just one or two sets to failure per exercise. At 4PM, I have a massive salad. It's boring, but that's the point. Boring foods don't trigger cravings as much. The evenings were the hardest, so instead of watching TV, which always makes me wanna snack, I'd usually read or do Sudoku puzzles to keep my mind busy. If I really wanna snack, I'll have shelled sunflower seeds. They take a long time to eat or not a lot of calories. At 8PM, I have ground turkey with cauliflower rice, plus something sweet for dessert, make sure everything is tracked in macro factor, and wind down for bed.
