Mind sharing the types of foods and meats you eat?


I don't have a ton of consistency here. Things that are most consistent for me right now:

- I'm a pretty big fan of riced cauliflower blends, which you can get in basically any frozen foods section. Great replacement for rice. A quick easy meal is ground beef + a half bag of riced cauliflower stir fry mix.

- Another quick meal - Trader Joe's green vegetable foursome plus chicken. Add tons of butter, salt and garlic.

- Another quick meal - 3 or 4 egg omelette with shredded cheese topping. Put it on top of a bed of greens, and add some guac or an avocado.

- I make shoyu eggs pretty regularly to snack on.

- I snack on nuts and beef jerky a lot.

- If I'm not feeling very hungry, I'll eat an Adkins meal bar instead of anything bigger. Adkins stuff cuz its convenient, available in a lot of places, and low carb.

- After a workout, I'll drink a muscle milk pro series shake (the premade type, specifically because its low net carbs). Currently looking for better options that aren't just straight whey mixes.

- Adkins also makes some nice low-carb candy type things that I also grab when the notion strikes.

Lastly and probably most importantly, I drink a ton of water and have an increased salt intake, because cutting carbs leads to retaining less water and dehydrating easier. You just feel thirsty a lot more often. Drinking more water just so happens to also help you feel more full
