I think some people might get the impression from reading this, that I enjoy eating this way. Not true at all.
Honestly, I absolutely hate it. If it was my choice, I’d eat waffles for breakfast, an italian sub for lunch, and a 16oz. steak for dinner. I would throw my food scale out the window, light it on fire, and watch it burn while eating a pint of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.
Here’s the truth though. As much as I would love to eat whatever I wanted, I love winning more. I don’t like half assing things. I’ve committed myself to getting as fit as possible and doing well in competition. It is impossible to reach my potential without a high degree of nutritional rigor.
Now you have to decide which do you love more, eating whatever you want or fulfilling your potential?

perfect quote to go along with a great post.
What made you decide to split the blocks like that, instead of doing something even like 4-4-4-4?
Steve:
I’m usually at the gym from around 4 until 8 or 9. Tough to eat a four block meal while coaching. I just grab some jerky, a piece of fruit, and some nuts to eat at the gym.
Jon,
It would be awesome if you could detail a typical day’s log of items…
Jon:
I’d like to know your thoughts about fruit. In this new nutrition plan of action that I’m undertaking, consuming a serving of fruit decreases the daily points for carb intake (meaning: eat minimal fruit). Do top performers truly have better results when fruit is avoided as much as possible? Do you eat fruit? How often?
Kelly:
No doubt. Try to minimize the amount of fruit you are eating. I find, particularly with younger girls, that their “default” food is always fruit. That’s no good. Try to default to protein or fat and you’ll be much better off.
