Monday May 16th.

This is my first day posting actual meals.  I plan on posting all meals and spending a little extra time explaining the meals that are either dining out or take out. 

Breakfast-Can of tuna fish, some almonds, and a cup of whole milk with 2 and 1/2 shots of Coolbrew coffee concentrate

Snack-More almonds and sausages

Lunch-I will have to do a little explaining here.  My employer is generous enough to provide us with a private chef for the staff.  He cooks for the group, but will usually take out ingredients for me if I ask him.  I must remind you here that this blog is not intended to be preachy about strict adherence to the paleo diet but rather, a hybrid diet that I follow.  My diet is just what I do and what it does for me.  Every person is different and needs to experiment to some degree to find what works best for them and their goals.  That being said, I hope some people will find my meals helpful as suggestions to make clean eating (or my definition of it) possible and actually quite simple.  Today, I had Shepherd's Pie with no potatoes.  Basically some carrots, ground beef and some cheese.  I also had a salad with grape seed oil dressing.

Post activity / WOD- 40 grams of whey protein and a banana

Dinner-Taco salad consisting of ground beef, cheese, avocado, tomatoes, and lettuce

That was my day.  Two other issues I would like to discuss on the first post here are hydration and supplementation.  For each meal and throughout the day, assume I drink water.  If I do not specify another beverage, I drank water.  I try to drink about a gallon of water a day.  As far as supplements, I take 3.6 grams of only the finest fish oil.  I'm not entirely joking with my hint of facetiousness.  I do try to get a very high quality of fish oil.  My preferred brand is Life Extension, which is rated highest and is the best price for the rating.  I find it makes a difference.  I also take a normal multivitamin like Centrum Performance.
