I always loved Bill Kazmaier's breakfast: "when I was world's strongest man, I ate 5 pounds of beef, 10 pounds of vegetables, and a gallon of beer or two, for breakfast". Outstanding!
My meal plan though wouldn't have satisfied the great Bill Kazmaier.
Breakfast (6:30am)
- Jumbo Purple shake (already posted elsewhere in this forum), consisting of
- 1 whole free range or barn laid egg
- about 400 mls of skim milk
- 3/4 cup egg whites (works out to be around 6 to 8 eggs worth)
- 1 cup frozen mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husks (to absorb cholesterol)
- 1 banana
- 1 Berocca
- 2 Fish Oil caps
Mid-morning snack (9:00am):
- 25g almonds
- 2 cups of black tea
Lunch (midday):
- Large serve of raw mixed vegetables in 1 tablespoon of olive oil (usually consists of 10 or so snow peas, 1 large carrot, 1 capsicum, 4 or 5 mushrooms, and about 10 pitted kalamata olives. I fit as much in the plastic container until the lid shuts)
- 6 medium slices of chicken or turkey breast
Mid-afternoon snack (3:00pm):
- 120g tuna or a small wholemeal pasta salad with a napolitana sauce
- 1 orange
Workout 4:00pm. Post work out drink is a 400ml chocolate skim milk
Dinner (about 7:00pm)
What ever the wife or mother-in-law has prepared, or I invent something filling no more than one plate. Could be a wholemeal pasta dish, a large salad, a steak, or maybe two sandwiches. Whatever comes to hand.
Night time snack (usually get peckish again around 9:00pm):
- 6 water crackers topped with Bulgarian Fetta goats cheese
- A tall glass of milk
This may not sound like a lot of food, but I weigh 82.5kgs and am building muscle quite steadily. I'm the biggest (muscle wise) I've ever been, so this plan is working for me.
