The Chore of Eating
I follow flexibility that I can stick to more so than the same shit over and over. I gotta pick foods I enjoy but are lower in fat (other than something like salmon and walnuts or flaxseed oil) and easily digestible. No matter who says what is good if I can’t digest as efficient then it’s out. Goes hand in hand with inflammation imo.
FIRST MEAL
I noticed, for me personally, that getting most of my fat in for my first meal without many carbs, then getting some good amount of carbs throughout the day with minimal fats, I lose more fat. May have something to do with metabolism I don’t know 100%.
PRE WORKOUT
I can’t have much protein. I’ll have a bad pump and just won’t feel as clean or good. I’ll do mostly carbs and extra salt within an hour before weight training.
POST WORKOUT
Protein shake and a banana a bit after and then a pretty decent size meal when I’m actually really really hungry. Something like salmon and sweet potatoes or red potatoes and lean beef.
I fuck myself over when I try and track calories, protein, and carbs. But some type of structure and simple guidelines will keep me from getting way off track. Maybe I’ll skip breakfast cause I’m not hungry but make up for it next meal. But I don’t compete so this may not ideal for that line of work.

My appetite is the biggest thing on me right now and I'm only cruising. Like someone mentioned above: I'm ravenously hungry within an hour of eating.

That is my whole life! Lol. I used to get a beat down for drinking too much milk or eating too much! Big family, big consequences!! Lol. Food was a huge part of my family and still is....probably why our lives revolve around it!! If I see good food, even if stuffed; my appetite is still going. Not snacks or chips or candy or anything packaged or canned really; most definitely not fast food! I seriously look at processed food as Garbage or a Chemical Creation. It helps me stay away from them: beyond the 12 types of sodiums, preservatives, ingredients I have never heard of!! If I eat chicken, I want chicken! Not injected w a some solution, sent through carbon monoxide gas chamber, or chemicals for shampoo inside my food! lol. One ingredient at a time is good!
I would rather eat butter, salt, unenriched-organic wheat flour rolled up in pork fat than a bad of Doritos! I shit you not! Two rules: NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, NO ENRICHED FLOUR. Start there. I have many rules but just try to avoid those two and see how many items in the store you can eat??? You will be surprised...,especially if you have a special diet. I have people with Celiac Disease and have to eat gluten free; the food they make for them is like a ridiculous science experiment on the ingredient list. I am ranting but, the old Farmers Diet wasn’t so bad! I am speaking of the 1940’s Farmer! Lol. Additives, Preservatives, and Enriched foods are not in my repertoire. That said: CHEAT MEALS ARE NECESSARY AND ALL RULES ARE OFF!! lol 
I dont drink soda and I do not drink alcohol and I do not take tobacco in any way, shape, or form. I would rather eat at McDonald’s or Taco Bell!! I still haven’t had my Mt Dew Riggs and Kubes!! Lmao. I actually dont miss it. But I do! A new Box comes out or I see some New Concoction on TV. I want it !! So I just create my own version of it. Make it my way{a lot of you have seen my creations}! I can basically make my own In-and-Out or Shake Shack or Chick-Fil-A.
Just a few of the Homemade Madness Foods I make! I made every one of those dishes! Why eat out! Lol

Max I am drooling over that food and your description. I gave up getting take-out multiple times a week and started cooking at home and I am SO much happier for the decision. Not to mention I've been shedding body fat just by eating healthy, it's a win-win!

Holy shit max were you a professional chef in your past life haha. It looks good!! I'd definitely take a trip to Max's drive thru. But on my appetite I think it'll pick up here soon, probably just that week of eating garbage.

I definitely don’t find it a chore but remember being there at one point man. I also eat the same quite often. More so because I have multiple stomach diseases, but also because it’s easier.
I honestly just throw some diet soda in with a meal here and there, Switch up my carb and protein source, switch up seasonings, switch the order in which I eat them. It helps, for me.
Even little shit like lately I’ve been making my shakers thicket with more ice and the consistency has helped keep me interested.
I eat 5-7 times a day. Typically 5, sometimes 7 when my schedule is thrown due to work.
I’ll get creative and make new shit when it’s a “refeed” day.

I did it in a dorm w a conduction pad, toaster oven and a rice/pressure cooker! Pissed off the RA, but ...fuck em! Lol
Oh- thanks George Foreman

Yeah bro, I live in a really rural area so delivery is limited to pizza, grinders, etc... I absolutely love going to the commissary on base and buying bulk meat. The beef, chicken, and pork are so cheap it doesn't make sense to not eat good stuff constantly. Filet Mignon like twice a week makes me so happy! XD The rice and beans are something I love too. I like the Success Basmati or Brown rice bags, throw 'em in the pot, cook the protein or beans (or both), throw 'em on top and chow like a hound!
