Due to a request from one of our readers, I am going to post a full week of my eating habits. Since it’s summer here, you will see a lot of fresh fruits and veggies and grilled foods. I have not included my serving sizes here only because the reader specifically asked for just an “idea” of what I eat, not how much. Since I haven’t been weight training, I have adjusted my calories accordingly. When I do any type of formal exercise regimen which includes regularly lifting weights, I eat between 2200 and 2400 calories per day. When I am not exercising regularly, I scale back on the calories to around 1400 to 1500 per day.
The amount of calories you need will vary based on what your goal is (weight loss? body fat reduction?) and what type of workouts you’re doing, so keep that in mind.
