Today's Lunch
Its Monday so that means I am back to eating healthy until friday... No Cheat meals until sat/sunday. 
Now that I am at a weight that I want to stay at (+/-5 lbs) I find that this routine is helping me maintain my weight and I don't see fluctuations any longer. Now that I am going to increase training volume over the next 2 months I should see a couple more lbs disappear without changing anything else with my nutrition. If you are not where you want to be weight-wise, then you don't deserve a cheat day until you reach your weight goal because one cheat day can mess up your progress obtained over many weeks of hard work. Ever since experimenting with this diet routine I found fast and easy ways to eat healthy. For example, the meal posted below only took about 15 minutes to cook today during lunchtime. 



Healthy Carbs (red/green bell peppers, red potatoes)

Protein and HEALTHY Fat 


Once bacon is done, cook bell peppers and potatoes in the bacon grease (healthy fat)

1 cucumber and 1 red onion sautéed in lemon juice(8 lemons) and orange juice (1 orange), sea salt, black pepper.
